It thrills me that ukranians try to rip off my stuff, honestly. It makes me feel validated. With regard to instructionals, I watch it all once and make a table of conetents, and then I usually go through the videos and add timestamps to the files. Now I know roughly what’s there, and I can dig through it later for troubleshooting. Then I pick out a couple of bits that fit my game, and try it a few times on (unresisting) friends at the gym. I usually find that I’ve missed something important, but it’s been thoroughly catalogued, so I can keep reviewing it until all the inportant details stick. If there’s something that I still can’t make work, I show it to my coach and he can usually tell me why it’s not working in ten seconds. I try to have it honed down to a very specific question before I bring it to him, though. I only add a small number of techniques at any one time and I try to troubleshoot them pretty thoroughly before I move on. Sometimes, when my idiot friend isn’t injured, we go through long stretches of DVDs in my garage. Drill it like it’s a normal class. I find it hard to coordinate between people with jobs and families though, so I don’t get that opportunity very often.

I idiotically tried to get an ezekial off while I was mounted in my first class of the night just now. I truly don't understand how Oleynik did it that one time because it was increibly hard to keep the guy in that position.

I truly don't understand how Oleynik did it that one time because it was increibly hard to keep the guy in that position. I don't know how you set it up then but Oleynik actually had it set up in a standing clinch, sat down while the sub was on and let the guy get mount to make the guy prioritize getting position instead of defending. I could be wrong at what point he decided to set the choking arm in, but it mostly was all set up from the clinch. If you were already mounted, I don't think it had any chance of working. Somewhat like people giving the back when doing a baseball bat choke from half-guard.

He started setting it up while the guy was in side control. He doesn't completely apply the ezekial until he's mounted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSuXiTZ9EYA

I got my blue belt in 2015, then injured the gently caress out of my ankle in 2016, got depressed as poo poo, trained for a few months in 2017 and then my professor moved and I did no physical activity of any kind until 2019. In January I turned Turbo-Creonte and went to a new academy. Now I'm doing BJJ two mornings a week and lifting 3-4 other mornings per week. I feel like a dork wearing my blue belt because I'm really not blue belt level at this point (not that blue belt level is that fantastic or anything). I'm also weak as poo poo, and fat as poo poo. I just ordered a new gi and belt because I can't properly close and tie my current gear. Feels bad man, but I guess all I can do is keep going, and keep lifting. Shame that nothing can possibly ever be done about my weight but at least I can get strong again maybe.

Hellblazer187 posted:kind of same :/ as a fellow injured, depressed fat man (much fatter than you) One step at a time. Some days are really discouraging, and you may not be able to do anything correctly on those days. That is fine; being there alone is a ton of progress. Take a deep breath, and take pride in knowing that you could beat the yesterday version of yourself. It adds up over time. You already know this, but it's nice to hear explicit reminders  :

I tend to watch it all the way through and then go back and rewatch the sections I think I will implement most in my game and actively try to hit those moves when rolling. During open mats I'll just drill a bunch of new stuff that I want to work on.

I started BJJ after I lost about 65 pounds. I was 215 at my heaviest, got down to 150 and slowly gained back to 180 before starting BJJ as motivation to maintain my weight. After starting to train, I quickly ballooned up to 200 after deciding I can eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's after training since I sweated sooo much. Got back down to 175 (made weight at 170 for a few comps with a small water cut) and after getting injured last year, have found my way back up to 210 at the beginning of this year. I'm down ten pounds and am back on the way down to middleweight.

I have like, a legit problem with binge eating. Like, wait till my wife goes out of the house then go to the convenience store at buy $20 worth of chips candy and eat it all in one sitting in the dark in secret. I started BJJ at 220, and got up to 265 before I stopped, because I was eating like that at least 3 days per week. It's why I'm seriously overweight and also seriously in debt. Like easily 5k calories in a single sitting, and I did recently start doing something else for this psychologically and it has seemed to help, I haven't had a binge like that in a few weeks. I'm still over eating but I don't resemble a TLC special anymore. I think the only reason I'm not 400 lbs plus is because of the mat time and the time with the iron I put in over the years. I would get a therapist for this but I'm broke (see above) but I have some self help stuff that's actually helping this time which is a first for me with self help stuff.

This year I stopped drinking alcohol and soft drink and that’s been great for me, losing weight slowly but consistently. Maybe just work out what your worst food habits are and try to eliminate them one at a time? When I plateau my next step will be limiting the amount of takeaway that I’m allowed to eat each week. Weight loss is a really personal ‘what works for you’ thing though, since it’s just kind of a battle of willpower against yourself.

I wasn't being flippant, that is my mantra when I'm cutting weight.

Like, I think this is the point that is getting missed. I am not asking how to lose weight, that is not my problem. I am asking about getting into competition shape which involves cutting calories but also making sure you get enough energy that you can still train. Like, I know how to diet to lose weight. I am talking about diet for competition shape.

I made 20 buffalo wings after training last night. Partially because all I had prior to that was a donkkasu kimbab so I was just starving by the time I had dinner 10ish hours later with 2 hrs of sparring thrown in.

Depends on how deep you wanna cut right? I have friends who cut like five or eight pounds to get down a weight class and that doesn't require much effort besides getting to within like three or four pounds for the weigh in and letting the rest get cleared from dehydrating and then hydrating after the weigh in. Most of us can lose a fair bit of weight instantly, by just eating super super clean for a few weeks, and then sweating the rest of the weight off and don't really have to do the super hard kinds of cuts where you have to watch down to the milliliter of water you in take. On the other side of the spectrum is my friend who walks around at somewhere around 200 with like 12ish% bodyfat, who cuts to around 190 for competition who says its super hellish and he eats pretty much nothing but chicken breast, brussle sprouts, and water, and the week before he has to measure out his water in take.

Proteins the only macro I worry about, besides trying to keep fat in the 30-50 range. The body holds lean mass pretty well if you give it enough protein and dont try to take it to single digits. Note that hitting the ideals here basically requires carb cycling. I prefer short, serious cuts so I can get back to massing or just feeling good while training.

Get in comp shape and stay in comp shape is the goal for me. I don't want to compete with big boys. 185 has enough big boys. I'm barely 5'8". There should be a competition where I could compete against other fat Jewish guys. I would do 205 no problem.

Removing alcohol from my diet and riding a bike to practice made me lose 50lbs QUICK. I'm not a fan of trying to lose weight specifically to compete, especially at the hobby level. I prefer to achieve a level of fitness I'm happy with and can maintain relatively easily, then for competition I just try to improve that level. Sometimes I lose weight, sometimes I gain some, but I always perform better than if I'd just tried to drop to the lowest weight I can achieve. Plus losing after you cut a bunch of weight is extra demoralizing (for me.) If I lose at my normal weight, oh well. When I lose (and I always do) after making myself miserable for a few weeks, for the purpose of making myself MORE successful, it's especially frustrating. It does feel good though to look in the mirror and see nothing but veins and hard surfaces.
