Currently open.

Hello Elias,

My name is Thibault and i'm a 22 year old french young man.
I'm 1,76 meters high and i weight 85 kg (should be 5.77 feet ? and 187.39 lbs ?)

I have two judo trainings per week (7pm-9pm tuesdays and fridays).

My goals :

1) i'd like to loose 5 kg in order to be faster and gain endurance without loosing strength
Next season i'd like to compete in the under 81kg category.

2) Moreover i'm preparing a physical test in order to enter in a school
To pass it, I have to improve my cardio significantly.

Could you please help me a bit with reaching my goals as far as diet and physical activity are concerned ?

Just to let you know i can :

Run
Swim
Jump rope (not good at it, but with some practise)
Bike
Go to the gym

I'm also up to do anything that would help even if it's not in the list

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Best regards,

Thibault

Hi there.

Basically, in order to lose weight and keep muscle, you should be implementing some cardio (~2 miles/day).

I recommend doing this before lifting.

As for lifting, stick to very high reps. (~20 or so) that is what I do normally.

Avoid lifting really heavy if you are aiming to make a weight cut.

With diet, what are you currently eating?

Stick to clean proteins; fats only when necessary and in moderation. Carbs, also...in moderation.

Give me a sample of what your diet is, and I can help further.

Fats only when necessary? You need fats every single day.

I'm pretty lean and use a calloriecounting app to keep track of what I eat and stay on track with my diet & weight. My daily fat intake covers about 20-35% of my whole amount of callories.
I eat a lot of (fatty) fish, nuts, seeds, advocado's, biological peanut butter etc.

A typical day for me is 40% carbs / 30% protein / 30% fat. With a total callorie count between 2000 kcal on a restday and 2500-3000 on a training day (depending on the lenght and intensity of the training)

Hello, for a while now my ambition has been to become a professional caged fighter
I have always been an athlete coming from high school with 2 years of football experience freshmen - sophmore year minor wrestling experience - and 2 years of rugby
I've always been a big guy with a heavy solid set not muscle but solid fat I'm 5'11 1/2 now @ 280 pounds yet I run a 4.9 second 40 yard dash I constantly blow peoples minds with my speed
and size
throughout highschool my weight was 280 being @ it's worse and 225 being @ it's best
I have always had terrible endurance and I also am affected by a bone disease
But I have always had enough sheer will power, determination, motivation to outwork my peers
I am the type of guy who will work until I either pass out or until my body won't allow me to do more

I have always been a fighter and I've had my fair share of fights in school. I love the excitement and the feeling of blood rushing through my veins
Now that I'm 18 I'm hell bent on becoming a professional fighter.... until recently I didn't even know how to get my foot in the door until
I got a membership @ a local gym and I try to get in everyday. One day saw a guy who interested me, I could tell he was a fighter based off the way he was jump roping so I approached him
and he happened to be professional trainer for the gym and is experienced in boxing and muay thai I knew that was my chance, so I spoke to him and we have been training so far he's taught me the basics of boxing and I am satisfied with what I learned so far.
The hard part to this is the money...
I have a plan thus far
for 1 session a week it cost 140$$$ a month
I have to have my last surgery around june
I figured I could use him to get into fighting shape whilst finishing school (I'm in college) for the semester
and then do what I can to make a speedy recovery and
Find a fighting gym
I am looking for all the advice, resources and anything that you have to offer I am open and willing to do anything to follow my dream

That guy is an absolute rip off
Find an MMA gym or just bjj for now, then get your striking somewhere else
Fuck that gym boy

Thats a huge build. Bigger than I ever was and when you cut weight, you'll carry a lot of strength at a lower weight.

Get the fundamentals down. Yes, go speak with the pro trainer and get the boxing footwork and the whole breakdown.

The objective is to be well rounded; work on one element and then expands from there. Focus on jabs and crosses and get the rhythm down. As you progress, you'll learn more muay thai boxing basics.

Rhythm is acquired throughout your own experience and no one else's. I cannot stress that enough. In the past recent years, that is all I did.

Seeing how you go, stick to a high weight endurance and cardio regime whilst alternating heavy lifting every other week. (I can pm you a specific workout list if you require).

As a beginner, even a local gym with a bag is enough for right now. You don't need to spend so much money. Even sparring and getting tips from people more experienced than myself at the time were a huge contribution to what I've acquired.

Give me more info, so I can customize a routine and pathway for you. Do you prefer on the ground? Or striking? What are your comfort zones? (i.e. Mine are striking and clinching/striking in clinch).

I will mention, your undying willpower and ethic is something that will carry you to the next level. As it did for myself.

Welterweight did you really report my post?
Maybe you're used to being so defensive for obvious reasons(lol) but I was talking about the person williams goes to irl - not you

At any rate it's quite funny and I hope you can continue to breed high quality athletes out of your d2jsp expo

I really just want to lose 30-40 pounds in about 2 months. I'm limited on daily time to make it to the gym, I could however do a 45-1hr routine at home if someone could enlighten me on a decent exercise routine to slim up fast. And naturally i'm curious about meal planning for needed to cut this much wait.
