Vietnam Is Amazing ❤️

I love the food, the beautiful views, the friendly people, and rawness of a developing country that’s figuring things out along the way. The northern and central parts of Vietnam have their own vibes and food…I love experiencing it all 💯

Vietnam is a beautiful country with lots to see and I can’t wait to explore the southern part of the country soon. I’m looking forward to trying their style of vietnamese food and getting to know the locals there as well 👊🏾

If You’re Trashed…You’re Doing It Wrong 💯

I remember chatting with a skills coach that asked me if it’s normal for his fighters to come into skills training feeling tired and sore from their S&C work in the morning. I knew something was missing from their training regimen when he asked that 💯

Fighters are frequently trashing themselves with their S&C work and neglecting their recovery…this is taking away from the quality work needed in skills training. Those workout highlight reels doesn’t matter much if there’s no balance in your training regimen 🔑

If this sounds like you…I’m here to tell you there’s a different way of doing things. You can get the gains that you want without feeling trashed during skills training 👊🏾

I’ve helped a lot of combat athletes develop an amazing gas tank, explosive power for the mats, dialed in their recovery, and have smooth weight cuts by taking a science based approach. They’re feeling great during the training week to put in the focused work for skills training because everything is efficient and balanced 🤙🏾

DM me “efficiency” if you want to take a science based approach towards your training!

Only Doing Skills Training Won’t Cut It 💯

I often encounter fighters that have nagging injuries because they’re not fit enough to handle the increase in training loads. This is because they only focus on skills training instead of building up their body’s capacity 💯

When you lift for your sport…you’re improving your body’s ability to handle the increased strength and impact demands that occurs during intense skills training, which is why lifting makes you more durable. When you have an awesome gas tank…you can last longer during skills training before your form breaks down and increasing your risk of nagging injuries. Combine this with proper nutrition and recovery…you will spend more time leveling up on the mats instead of nursing your injuries on the sidelines 🔑

This is a reason why a lot of my athletes have remained durable for multiple fights camps. They’re doing efficient S&C work, while still allowing them to put in the focused skills work 👊🏾

Tag a training partner that always has nagging injuries 👀

It’s A Mindset Issue 💯

Lots of fighters are stuck in their comfort zone because they don’t want to do the things needed to give them the best chance to succeed as a fighter 👎🏾

Don’t like lifting weights? Good luck being the weaker fighter as your opponents walk you down because they don’t respect your strength/power

Don’t like doing cardio? Your opponent and the whole crowd watching you will notice how tired you were during your fight 😬

Don’t like tracking your food because it’s too much work? Frantically working out, sweating out in a sauna/bath, and starving yourself to make weight sounds like a lot more work to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Serious fighters understand that dialing in their training regimen and habits are hard, but these are the hards that will help them grow as athletes.

We get to choose our hard in life…choose wisely 🔑

DM Me “👊🏾” if you want to dial in your training regimen with a science based approach!

Vietnam Is Amazing 🔥

I’ve been in Hanoi for a week after concluding my month long journey around Japan. Vietnam isn’t Japan and that’s what I love about it…it has its’ own vibe that makes it special 💯

There’s a rawness about Vietnam since they’re still developing, so you get to see the mix of old and new at the same time. What Vietnam lacks compared to other modern countries…it makes up for it with the friendliness of their people. I’ve made friends, got invited to outings, and had awesome local experiences that I will always remember ❤️

I’m excited to explore the other parts of Vietnam in the coming weeks and add more memorable experiences along the way 👊🏾

It’s Fight Week 🔥

Good luck Josh and Luke for their fights this coming weekend 👊🏾

All of these athletes have been putting in the consistent work to level up their strength/power, gas tank, nutrition, recovery, and weight cutting with a science based approach. They’re feeling great and looking forward to putting on a show for their fights 💯

Good luck to everyone and we’re proud of you win or lose 🤙🏾

Is The Scale Driving You Crazy???

A common frustration that a lot of combat athletes have is making weight for their competitions. The fluctuations can become frustrating and lead them to eat less and train more, which hinders their performance 😬

There are a number of reasons why your weight may fluctuate (hydration levels, types of food you’re eating, gaining muscle, stress, sleep quality/quantity, etc.). Tracking your food and having a knowledgeable professional guide you along the way will help take out the guesswork. You can perform well and hit your goal while avoiding crash dieting 🔑

I’ve helped a lot of combat athletes trim down to an ideal walking weight sustainably, maintain an ideal walking weight while enjoying food, and have smooth weight cuts with a science based approach. They’re learning the science and concepts behind fat loss to maintain their ideal walking weight for the long term instead of blindly following a meal plan 🔑

Here Are My Thoughts…

$50 a session to work with a trainer in person is dirt cheap (I would charge a lot more), but this fighter was spending his money inefficiently and got what he paid for…a trainer that didn’t understand the needs of a fighter 💯

The fighter didn’t do any structured conditioning work with a heart rate monitor. He was put on a 3500-4000 calorie/day diet to bulk up, but that was based off of an online macro calculator instead of individualized to him. The fighter was then left on his own to figure out how to cut weight because the trainer had no clue about that. Paying $600/month for the benefit of live exercise feedback is a lot of squeeze for a little juice 😬

This is why working online with a professional that specializes in combat sports is a tremendous value. My athletes are doing structured strength & conditioning for their sport, nutrition coaching that’s individualized, recovery coaching, and weight cutting guidance at a fraction of the price of seeing me in person. My athletes get the outcomes that they want, while I get to use my time more efficiently 🔑

DM me “👊🏾” if you want to dial in your training, eating, and weight cuts with science!

Sapporo Was 🤤

This past week, I concluded my Japan trip in Sapporo. I mainly came for the amazing food and it did not disappoint. I also got to meet some friendly locals and had a lot of fun chatting with them 💯

Japan was an amazing trip and I would definitely go back to explore more places. I’m truly blessed to have experienced all of these memorable things for the past month 👊🏾

Next up is Vietnam and I’m excited for a different set of experiences to look back on

Osaka Was Amazing ❤️

I spent the previous week in Osaka and it was an amazing time. Eating the food that locals told me about, making friends with locals, and experiencing how friendly the people were…Osaka has a special place in my heart 💯

This week I will be in Sapporo to experience the amazing food and see if I can connect with the locals there as well 👊🏾
