I've been feeling lethargic in class lately. Haven't changed my diet, so I don't think it's that.
Do you guys take any supps for bjj? Do you take protein? If so, does it help? I stopped taking protein after my weight training days. Didn't like the digestive problems it gave me. now I'm just taking multi vitamins, cod liver oil, beef liver tablets and zinc.

BCAA branch chain amino acid is amazing! Does wonders for my recovery . Beta alanine is helps delay muscle fatigue and can help from getting tired during training.
beer and ice cream!!!!!!
Maybe try some magnesium citrate tabs? Also very important: sleep. Make sure you are getting enough. You can put all the supplements you need in the tank, but if you don't let your body heal adequately you are doing yourself a major disservice.
You mentioned weight training, how often are you lifting and how do you structure your lifts? Short sessions but extremely intensive or more marathon 1hr plus sessions? Maybe try dialing it back to 2 or 3 tops per week if you feel you are recovering from them ok, but try to hit it hard with major lifts (squats, deadlifts, presses) and keep it as short a session as possible. I like being able to lift weights when I'm able to, but between jiu-jitsu and weight lifting, jiu jitsu is always higher on my priorities. If the weight lifting ever got to be too much of a toll on my body, I'd take a break from it for a week or so.

A beer, man.. I thought it was crazy but something like a miller 64 (didn't say it had to be manly) works well.

Two bong rips and nap.
coke and hookers
Your car.

Im going back tomorrow after 39 days of no mma training so Im drinking it now. I used to have problems training daily and my coach told me to start drinking as much water as I can stand, he was so right.
I drink lots of water ( a gallon a day) and do yoga in the morning.
I try and drink 75 to 95 oz or water a day (usually 2 whole bottles of the largest sized smart water) and I hot tub it after class every night and just wade in the pool to cool down lol
Alright, maybe it's a hydration thing. I certainly don't drink a gallon a day. Gonna get on that asap
Just gotta be careful how you pack it.Quote:

Really is mainly the big 3. Sleep, Hydration, Nutrition. Hydration may be your deal.. Keep track of you're water intake and make sure you are getting a galon or more a day. A good way to tell is with monitoring your urine also. Try to keep clear pee. Other stress can cause this, something tragic in your daily life? You don't have to answer, what I mean is flooding yourself with negative stress horomones can have real world effects on athletic performance.
Sean and I are trying to eat as clean as possible. I feel it helps a lot whenever you are training hard. When you run yourself into the ground everyday, you need something that will support you in building your body back up. Fruit, veggies, and lean proteins. It really does make a difference when you start to cut out the junk. Also, I've been trying my best to go to bed an hour earlier. That helps too.
You don't want to piss totally clear. You want some color in there.
