I echo the guys above. I have the same supplements every day. Nothing changes for me except that I’m not lifting.

Survived some crazy weather yesterday. Proper rain at the lake, ended up with a small river running through my Bivvy.

Nice wake up call at 03:45 to a decent carp. Proper excited to net this one after several carpless sessions. My favourite capture so far and a new PB. Proper buzzing and didn’t end up going back to sleep.

Packed up and got home before the rain came back. Now just got to sort all the kit out and hope it dries out.

It would be worth adding in a collagen supplement as well.

I’m currently using 2x20g doses of beef collagen daily to help with recovery from Achilles surgery.

Rest day. On the bank again fishing or should I say camping right now as the fish are eluding me so far.

Survived the heavy rainstorm that sent a small river through my Bivvy. All fun and games.

Only got till 08:00 tomorrow then I’ll have to be off home. Pulls tomorrow

Then straight off to the airport and made it back home in one piece. Ankle looking pretty swollen so currently sitting with my food in a bucket of ice and water – feels amazing.

Back in the gym tomorrow for pull which will be tough as I usually have a rest day between legs and pull but obviously with the switch round due to the wedding on Saturday it’s got to be done. Looking forward to it.

Rest day.

At a wedding in the Czech mountains today. Amazing day with great people. Drive back to the airport tomorrow via the gym for my leg session.

[Adam Bishop]

I would advise mixing water with it and not having it dry haha

But seriously drinking COR is something I do regularly when on high carbs after Rich Ellis put me onto it.

Digests super fast for me and never had issues

Push day in Eagle Fitness just outside Prague. Very cool gym with a crazy powerlifting section and plenty of kit in the bodybuilding room. 30+ degrees here today with no air con so it was an extremely sweaty session. Ankle a little swollen from the heat, walking and flight so running some anti inflammatory drugs to hopefully manage that. At a wedding tomorrow so I’ve pushed my lower session back to Sunday (at Eagle fitness again)

Early start for me. Up at 6am and straight into meal 1. In the gym for 07:15 to start my pull session. Fortunately my body is just ragdolling any food I eat at the moment so digestion was super fast. Spine definitely didn’t like the early start for pulls but I made it enjoy it in the end.

Rest day. Got a load of jobs done around the house to get ready for our trip tomorrow. Flying out to Czech tomorrow for a wedding at the weekend. Food for tomorrow’s day flying packed and ready to go. I’ll then sort my food for the rest of the trip when I’m out there.
