Oh like i said I have lost lost of weight probably 30 lbs at the lowest i have weighed 256 but that was due to a large water cut for a fight. I have leaned up even more. At this point I'm looking for more though i will workout as much as i can. I just need to be able to put it in. Thats why i was thinking about trading off some JJ for more cardio and weight training. We will see if i can come up with some sort of balance. Maybe the Master Bravo Seminar in Detroit will help flip my mind on a lot. I want to be the best i can in this sport I truely do love it but i also want to progress in it also.
Facility you train at has a full weight facility along with personal trainers - Up to you to put in the work my man, one of the trainers Autumn hale used to weigh 200lbs. now is down to 140lbs. and cut. Step out of your comfort zone and try a diff. persons routine.
It sounds like you have made up your mind already man. Maybe nothing anyone says will change that, but it seems that there is a unanimous decision from everyone else...Don't quit jiu jitsu.Quote:

You can shift the gears of your training and focus on conditioning for weight loss. But don't ever stop doing jiu jitsu completely. It's the big reason you're losing weight in the first place. And I imagine it something you love.
So sure, trade in a few jits practices a week to go extra hard running/biking/circuit training/hiking or whatever you wanna do to get your heart rate up and burn a ton of calories. BUT frequency here is key. Find something that you can do everyday for 20 minutes. When it becomes easy, go to 30. After 30 becomes easy, make it harder, do it faster, put more weight on, do more reps, up the intensity. Whatever the case may be. All it takes is 20-30 minutes a day, EVERYDAY, of "cardio". aka heart rate up, sweating, burning calories exercise.
And then from there, diet will be key. 6 meals a day, 6 oz meals. High protien, low fat, moderate carbs. Take in healthy fats through avocado and fish oil and omega 3's and 6's and what nots so that your test levels don't drop from all the weight loss that will be happening. Because you will be kicking ass, and you will be shedding weight like crazy, because you're a badass, and you want this.
Just keep practicing jiu jitsu AT LEAST once a week man. You burn calories on the mat too. And your IQ will stay up. You'll catch up quick when you go back to full time because you'll be in such better shape. And on top of that, I'm sure you have a lot of friends that you train with. Everyone at 10p is always super cool. I don't know about you, but even when I'm hurt I show up for practices. The atmosphere alone is enough.
Good luck to you man! I can't wait to hear about the transformation 4,6,8 weeks from now.
If i lived in Clare man thats not an issue but driving 45 mins is and the cost of an extra gym session is...I live i on a very tight budget its not about comfort zones its about balance what can i afford and make time for when i also have a family to support and spend time with. Like i said if i lived in clare and could just run to the gym thats not an issue but with training and such you gotta figure i have to clear a 4 hour block of my time not just an hour thats very difficult to do.Quote:
