Cardio is great and still gassing out during competetions..?

[robert gero]

My cardio is great and all I am jsut wondering why I keep gassing out? I know i am 36 and all so my tank is as good as the young guys or anything,but what are some of the reason for this gassing out...I see other guys that are not in good cardio as me not even close and they can do 6 matches after 2 i am tired as shit..

Sounds like you're relying heavily on athleticism rather than technique and/or not breathing.

I feel your pain, check out my thread about cardio.

Breathe... Relax and breathe! Don't feel bad, I know plenty of guys that suffer from the same prob

I know i use to much athleticism and soemtime muscle things.it like i go blank and go into some kinda flight or fight mode when im competing...it frustrating bc i know my cardio is super good and it straight up depressing how other guys can do 6 matches...and me after 2 gassed the fuck out...

That and maybe you're not used to the adrenaline dump that you get from competing? That shit gets you super tired

Super tired. That adrenaline dump sucks

Adrenaline dump and not breathing properly, or even holding breath, are common reasons for excessive fatigue in competition.
