If youâre anything like me – training is your life.
Honestly, Iâm training more days than Iâm notâŚ
But I donât know any other way to be.
Of course, my sessions arenât just limited to liftingâŚ
In a given week – I generally do about 8 sessions in the gym between lifting, cardio and saunaâŚ
And about 4 sessions of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – not counting teaching, of course.
Thatâs a lotâŚ
But not unusual for those of us that realize that movement is the key to life.
I have a question for my fellow combat athletesâŚ
But this question can be applied to ANY kind of training – as weâre going to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of training⌠well, anything.
That being said – for all my gym đ brothers – if youâre looking for something different in 2023âŚ
You should give BJJ a try – itâs an incredible and rewarding way to exercise – and you gain skills to back up the mass youâve acquired over the years.
Anyway, letâs get to the questionâŚ
And that question is: How many days a week are you training?
For my fellow jiujiteros – how many days are you rolling?
2 days? 3 days?
Or are you a 5 day plus practitioner?
How many times a week you train does matterâŚ
Because the worst kept secret in our or ANY sport really is this: the more you train – the better youâll get.
In BJJ – you donât need the best coach in the world or even the best training partnersâŚ
The simple fact is: the more you train – the better youâll be a BJJ.
You think grappling stars like Gordon Ryan or Tainan Dalpra got to where they are by only training a couple of times a week?
NoâŚ
They got good by training as much as their bodies would allow.
AhhhhâŚ
But thereâs the rub, right?
As we all know – the more you train – the more punishment your body takes and the worse you feel.
Itâs a Catch-22 scenario.
You want to get better⌠so you train more⌠but the more you train⌠the more sore you get⌠the more sore you get⌠the less you want to trainâŚ
Itâs a vicious cycle.
Which leads us to the point of this articleâŚ
The most overlooked aspect of training BJJ or anything isnât what you think it is – as itâs not rest.
As Conan once said, âSleep? Time enough for sleep in the grave.â
If you want to break the cycle without taking too much time away from the gym or the matsâŚ
You need to figure out how to train as much as possible – while maintaining a level of health that will allow you to hit your BJJ or fitness goals.
SoâŚ
How do you do that?
Well, one of the absolute best things you can do is make sure that youâre getting the RIGHT nutrition you need to allow your body to recover and repair.
Thatâs rightâŚ
The most overlooked aspect of training⌠is nutrition.
Getting the protein you need to repair the micro-tears that happen whenever your muscles get strained – and trust meâŚ
They get strained during practice.
These micro-tears are the biggest reason for muscle soreness – and the best way to make that soreness disappear – is to ensure youâre getting enough protein in your diet to repair them.
Most people donât eat enough proteinâŚ
For people that DONâT train – the minimum is about 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweightâŚ
But for people whose life revolves around sport – 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight should be the goal.
The problem?
Itâs not easy – or cheap – to get enough protein into our bodies to repair the damage weâve done through training.
So, people tend to UNDER nourish their bodies – shortchanging their recovery.
That being saidâŚ
What if I told you there was a âcheat codeâ to protein intake?
What if there was a way to help your muscles recover FASTER so you can avoid soreness – and maybe even injury – so you can train more, get better and maybe even get to the top of the podium?
And before you ask – no⌠itâs not protein powder.
Sure, protein powder is a hack in itself – but thatâs not the âcheat codeâ Iâm talking aboutâŚ
No, what Iâm talking about are amino acids.
Of course, like all things, not all amino acids are created equal.
For years, Branch-Chained Amino Acids (BCAA) were all the rageâŚ
And while SOME aminos are better than NO aminos – the fact of the matter is – BCAAâs are like Tom Cruise without Renee Zelwiger – incomplete.
BCAAâs contain just three aminos – leucine, isoleucine, and valine – which is actually SIX short of the essential aminos your body actually needs for efficient protein synthesis.
You see⌠in order to successfully create muscle protein – your body requires nine Essential Amino Acids (EAAs).
The nine EAAs are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Thereâs a reason theyâre called âessentialâ…
Because without all nine – your body will break down existing proteins to get the other amino acids it needs to complete protein synthesis.
This process could lead to a negative protein synthetic balance in the bodyâŚ
Meaning by taking BCAAâs – youâre gumming up the works.
Youâre hindering the process – instead of making it easierâŚ
But thereâs a solution: if youâve been taking a BCAA product – switch to an EAA product.
EAAâs are superior to BCAAâs – and thereâs research to back that up.
Head-to-head – EAAâs are way more efficient and generate a much stronger anabolic response than BCAAâsâŚ
Which means you build more muscle FASTER.
However, thereâs even MORE reasons to switch to EAAâsâŚ
Lysine – one of the 9 – helps support immune system function giving you a better chance at fighting off sickness and disease.
But Lysine isnât the only hero of the EAAsâŚ
Tryptophan helps in boosting mood and supporting better sleep as the amino acid is used by the body to create – serotonin – or what some people call the âfeel-goodâ hormone.
And for those who may not know – itâs when weâre in that deep non-REM sleep that our body releases growth hormone to help growth and recovery.
YeahâŚ
When looking at the big picture – it just makes sense to leave BCAAâs in the dust and switch over to a more complete product.
EAAâs could be your key to better performance on the matâŚ
As long as youâre willing to put in the work.
Keep your body healthyâŚ
Keep your GAME healthy.
