#1 is all too real. I wrestled D1 at 157Ibs. I now compete at 200 in BJJ. I've had to cut 25+ in a few days dozens of times in college. Took almost a decade to not see food as scarce and gorge every meal.
people act like coke wasn’t actually given out by the government for real reasons lol if coke was allowed like how weed is and super regulated and sold at stores and shit i guarantee the work rate would be insane you’d see a huge percentage boost in literally everything 😂
@@ghhhp Including overdoses, heart and damage and increase in violent and irrational behavior in a world ripe with violent and irrational behaviors. Lets just fuck over our bodys and brains so we can slave away harder lmao, brilliant.
I fluctuate around 183-191 lbs for my walking around weight. I always grapple around my walking around weight, and sometimes I’ll be small for whatever weight class I signed up to grapple in. The #1 entry on this list is part of the reason why I have no intention of going lower than 170 lbs whenever I make the transition to MMA. Eating disorders run in my family history, I have some mental health struggles that sometimes leave me with a lot of unhealthy food cravings whenever my daily medication wears off, and I make incredibly bad choices from the stress of being hungry or thirsty. Sometimes you just have to deal with the fact that you’re not a giant in your weight class in order to preserve your longevity as a functional human being.
I’m an elite marathoner and the claim that anyone could put up 140 mile weeks while training mma, the single most brutal kind of training there is, for 4 hours every day is literally absurd and nobody should take it seriously. I run 110 mile weeks and unless you are crazy specialized it is basically impossible to do this
This video hit me in the feels. I'm just a recreational grappler. One of the main reasons that I compete at all is to keep my weight from getting away from me as I get older. The flip side is, the things you do to be able to hit a specific number on a certain date are decidedly not good for you. I've done several of the things on this list, and while they all really worked as far as moving the number on the scale, I'm convinced that my performance suffered as a result.
Thank you for being honest. I'm 3-0 ammy mma and 40-2 ammy kickboxing. I walk around at 180. The cut to 146 definitely took something away from me, at very least in the motivation stakes. The 138lb cut definitely made me a shell of myself. I once passed out just before having to go to the ring, I couldn't even hear my coach giving instructions. All the best, bro. I hope you are good. :) respect.
And a lot of gear, alongside fighting a guy who’s only been training MMA for four-five years and has almost certainly never wrestled before his most recent camp.
Given the length of time it took for him to eventually get a fight booked at HW, it leads more credence to the theory that Jones was actually serving an unannounced USADA suspension since USADA won't announce Jones testing positive anymore.
@@aquatazer I'm sure your the same person who predicted Gane was going to win, now that Jones manhandled him in seconds, it's because Jones is on steroids and Cyril only been in the sport 5 years. You Jon Jones critics crack me up 😂
It's awesome to know that I have something in common with JDS. I have a condition that's actually a terminal mitochondrial myopathy but the whole thing started with me being hospitalized on five occasions with rhabdo. I would go on a half-mile walk around the neighborhood and the next day my feet would be three times their size and my legs would be so swollen that if I put socks on their would be a mark across my calf for 36 hours. This kept occurring and then they took blood test and my blood tests were all bizarre as if my body's immune system was just quitting while other parts were attacking. It took two years of specialist until a geneticist found out that I have a thing called KSS which is 50% deletion of the mtdna in my brain. That's the energy source for your body so as more and more of it dies your heart dies your liver dies so at Max I have maybe two more years to live and I'll be blind when I die. who says I can't bring the happy news? Anyhow it could be a little longer, it could be a little less but it all started with rhabdo so JDS to the max.😊
@@crazypato3752 so far so good. The real issue is that there's no way to tell if it's early days or time for the final party. My doctor won't tell me shit about how the tale is going to end. I found some research papers on the internet that say there's a way to gauge it but he says it's all bulshit. I think he's just protecting me from bad news. Anyhow.
@@asasipogi I would if I could. I'm pretty damn broke and I have to live with family and my left side is consistently going out on me. It's getting harder to get around I think that people fantasize about what they would do if they knew they weren't going to live for a long time but most of the time that they get that kind of death sentence there most likely too ill to take advantage of knowing that they don't have long. It's another one of those catch 22 situations that life is so fond of giving you. I do know that you should not wait for a death sentence to start living. Like I said it's probably too late by the time you get that.
If Davis isn’t lying (he is) then he should retire from fighting and become a professional marathon runner. He’d be the number 1 guy in the sport probably win a gold medal with those numbers and not look like a holocaust survivor doing it unlike every other marathon runner.
does espn know that a low max heartrate is.. a bad thing? that's just something that happens when you age, a low heartrate is good, but a low max is not desirable in any way
That stuff about the yo-yo diet is no joke, in two years of competing I’ve frequently fluctuated 20-30 pounds of pure fat between competing and off times, then mix an injury in there and I’ve put myself in one hell of a spot we’re working out of as I type this
Weight cutting is a unique thing that few people will ever understand. When i would cut 10 to 15 pounds below my natural weight to wrestling in high school i would eat myself (literally) sick and still think about nothing but eating (while being on the verge of throwing up) and this would last days sometimes. I can't even imagine what goes on inside these guys minds during and after those weight cuts. Does weight cutting contribute to eating disorders? yes. 100 percent.
Dieting is hard. 23&me says I should be 178-180 so I made it there. But I looked best at 165-170. Less blubber to carry around and more definition in my body. But I’m close to getting back to where I was.
