Another vote for save your money and buy real food and whey protein if you require it.

These RTDs are expensive per serving vs traditional whey.

Good push session today. I took delivery of a new adjustable cable machine from Mirafit today so got that put together before I started

High incline bench press 145×6 110×12
Hammer Strength chest press 110×8 80×13 40×15
Incline DB Fly 25×10 17.5×17
Dips cluster set
Incline DB Curls 25×9 12.5×20
BB curl 52.5×6 32.5×14
SA cable curl 5×10 2.5×18

All my pressing is feeling much stronger from a tricep lockout point of view. Excited to see where I can take the pressing in the coming weeks as I push my body weight up. Next week I’ll be adding some log pressing back into the mix with two exposures to the log each week. The key will be to stay on top of my patella tendon prehab to keep it quiet and avoid any flare ups

Rest day so that means a 24h session fishing.

Packed all my meals with me so I keep the food consistent so feeling really good.

The only issue I have when I’m on the bank is I don’t have my CPAP with me. Need to sort myself a big portable power unit for when I’m heavy again.

I’ll be at the lake till mid morning then it’s back home for my press session.

Hi Jack

What’s your dietary fat intake like? What are your sources of fat.

Let us know what your currently eating and I’m sure the team can help.

Supplement wise i’d say you’ve got most bases covered. I have found that a double serving of love heart really made an impact on my cholesterol and LDL:HDL ratios.

[Adam Bishop]

Headed back home today so just the 45mins walk with the dogs to report.

Coming to the end of my weight loss period and I can’t wait to push back up to morbidly big again. Exciting times but I have at least one more week maybe two to hold off before that.

One more meal to go for this evening (8 fancy eggs) then off to bed.

[Adam Bishop]

On the road today to watch my training partner compete.

Travelled up today and watched the show.

Made sure I had all my meals with me.

Not much else to report really. I’ll head back home tomorrow and be back in the gym Tuesday

[Adam Bishop]

Really good pull session today. Training on my own so a lot of plates to take on and off but I managed to get some decent sets done. Had to literally dust off the 80kg dumbbells for rows today haha. Shows how long it’s been since I’ve used them.

Shorter walk with the dogs as we had a wedding (evening do) to get to. Took my food with me and ate in the car.

On the road tomorrow to support my training partner who competes at UKs – same comp I did back in 2014. Meals are all prepped and I’m good to go

[Adam Bishop]

Solid push session today. Tricep felt normal and I managed to progress all my lifts. Still a long way to go but I feel like I am progressing steadily now. A couple more weeks and I’ll be reintroducing the log press in the mix.

A couple of walks today. Usual evening 45min with the dogs plus a morning walk around a new lake I’ll be looking to fish next week. Nice to be out in the sunshine.

[Adam Bishop]

I tend to go with 40g of the EAAs for my intra. I do this in a single hit in 400ml water.

I’ll then mix 10g creatine in my sustain to drink throughout the session.

[Adam Bishop]

Rest for me today. No fishing either as I was on dog sitting duty.

Spent the day sorting the bbq area and cleaning the hot tub. Clearing a bit of space ready for a new cold tank – no more wheelie bin hopefully.

I had some new atlas stones delivered today so I’ll pop over to the farm tomorrow to check them out. Push session is on the cards for tomorrow.

[Adam Bishop]

Really good legs session at physique warehouse today. Weighed in at 141.7kg so I’m nearly ready to push back up and I’m pretty happy with the changes in body composition I’ve made in this short period.

Pop onto YouTube and search “Squat university ankle mobility”

There are a couple of good banded mobility drills there which should help
