Apologies for the late daily post – my phone has switched providers and stopped working so I have no signal next to the lake.

Hoped up to the lodge to get on the WiFi. Nothing much to report, rained for a full day so trying to keep dry.

[Adam Bishop]

It would be the same as anyone working full time and training.

Be organised with your training, food and studies and it will be very straight forward

[Adam Bishop]

Nah take it every day

[Adam Bishop]

I hardly take anytime between my warm up sets.

As the guys above have stated it’s very individual and you should take whatever rest time you need.

Unless you are unbelievably unfit you shouldn’t need much time between warm up sets IMO

Got my calf raises done next to the lake today:

SL calf Iso 3×45”
SL calf raise (on step) cluster set – 5 reps, rolling 20”

Moved the calf raised onto a step now as my physio is happy with my ROM at the ankle. I’ll still do my testing from the floor but I’ll use the block to do my calf raises now and just go to a range I’m happy with.

Slept 10.5 hours last night which was good.
Didn’t catch any fish which was bad.
Hopefully they turn up tonight haha.

Super tiring first day after a long day travelling. Got to the lake this morning and got everything set up.

Now I’m in my sleeping bag ready to get an early night

Rest day for me and the beginning of a week off training.

Had a week holiday fishing in France booked for a while and it was always the plan to train hard and heavy to the point where a week off would be beneficial.

I’ll still be doing my calf work while away but no other training. Early morning crossing for us so heading off to Dover this evening and driving through the night

[Adam Bishop]

Option 1 is 3 work sets
Option 2 is 2 work sets

That’s a big difference

Hi Tobi. Not sure I understand what you are asking here.

Try and rephrase your question as it’s confusing as hell.

Change of scenery today so I headed over to Athlete Movement for my legs session.

Squat 175×5 187.5×5 200×8
SL Leg Press x7
Leg Press x25
Leg Extension 3×18 (rest pause)
SL Calf Raise 7 sets of 6 reps off a rolling 20”

Then back home to do my leg curls as the seated leg curl was broken at the gym.

Moved over to SL leg press so that I don’t have to load so many plates onto the leg press. Mainly a ploy for when I’m in the barn as it’s tight in there which makes putting plates on and off interesting. Back off set was the same load but with both legs. This will also make it easier to test my peak isometric calf strength on the leg press when it’s not loaded up above 500. All makes sense in my head anyway.

Weighed in at 137.9kg this morning so another week with a kilo gained. Things are progressing well.

[Adam Bishop]

Push session in the barn:

Military press 95×5 100×5 107.5×8
Dips +15x4x15 (rest pause)
DB Lateral Raise 17.5x3x20 (rest pause)
Pressdowns 33×8 22.5×19
Alt Arm cable Ext 3×12

[Adam Bishop]

Yes deadlift variations would be your best option – conventional, SLDL or RDL.

Bent over barbell rows are another option.

Personally I’m a fan of conventional deadlifts and I’m yet to see something with a big deadlift who lacks decent erectors

[Adam Bishop]

Rest day today.

Had physio this morning where we measured my calf endurance on the SL calf Raise (L19 R25) Followed that up with some prowler pushes that will be included twice a week now.

Some great progress.

First thing to check or me is hydration status. Are you still drinking enough and are you getting enough electrolytes to replace those being lost through sweating?

Do you put salt on your food or have you been restricting it?

Are you also getting enough potassium and magnesium from your diet?

Plenty of guys and girls on here who have more experience with Clen than me to weigh in on that for you, but the above is what I’d be checking first.
