ive already posted this in the diet forum but im really looking for some help here.
im currently weighing in at 90kg. i have a no gi competition on october 1st.
the 2 weight categories i could enter are either 91kg or 85kg.
the last time the same competition was held there was an 88kg weight category so i thought i would be ok but theyve changed it.
should i stick to the weight im at try to get down to 85kg in 4 weeks?
im up at 5am for work so dont really have an option of training in the morning. im home at 5pm at night. i get in, shower, eat and go to training
the routine i have planned for the next 4 weeks is as follows

monday
7pm 40 minutes weights
squats, deadlift rack pulls, high pulls
20 minutes cardio high intensity
8pm 2 hours bjj

tuesday
7pm 50 minutes weights
shrugs, clean and press, incline press,dips, dumbell snatch, sprawl drills
40 min cardio low intensity
1.5 hours bjj drills

wednesday.
no practice on this night. any suggestions on what i can do?
what style of cardio?

thursday
7pm 40 minutes weights
deadlifts, prison squats, high pulls
20 minutes cardio high intensity
8pm 2 hours bjj

friday is the same as wednesday, no practice.
any suggestions?

saturday
midday
2 hours bjj

5pm
2 hours wrestling

sunday
was considering swimming?

my diet is ok
im up and out of my house by 6am. im at work at 7am and have 3 scrambled egg on wheat toast with a bottle of water.
10 am is my first break. i normally have some chicken with pasta and onions. or maybe a jacket potato with beans and cheese if im feeling really hungry (maybe once a week).
1pm is my next break
i normally have some ready made tuna and some wheat toast. i find if i have a large carb meal in the midday i feel drowsy.
i finish work at 4pm and am normally home by 5pm. could i try eating on my journey home? any suggestions?
before training i will have some form of protein, either chicken or tuna and some wholegrain rice.
training finishes at 10pm and it takes me an hour to drive home. i normally have vegetables and whatever meat my mum has cooked when i get in. should i try some protein shakes after training?
was even considering an mr shake when i get up but was concerned about then weight gain.

any help you could offer would be really aprreciated.

cheers

Are you carrying much fat?

I wouldn't bother if I was you, just concentrate on conditioning and staying healthy.
 
im carrying a bit og weight round the middle
the majority of my muscle weight is in my thighs, lower back and traps.
i guess my conditioned weight would be much lower.
i have what you would call a rugby players build (well thats what the birds say anyway)

I once lost 14 lbs in 8 hours at 138 lbs.:D

How important is the comp to you? If it isn't a career ender then just fight at what weight you train at. Over time of training hard you will get closer to the weight you want to fight.

wablam, if its important tourney, cut that weight... 5kg is like 10 pounds right?

youre too fat.


and change your sig.
 
o, wasnt looking too much into the fat to muscle ratio mathingy, but, how long have you been on your regime? if your fat like rollhawk said then shouldnt you lose a couple kgs in 4 weeks?

o shnap look at that sig, you actually think that its funny?
 
actually the sig was from a joke i read by a jewish comedian
its supposed to be ironic.
ive seen jokes about rape and shit on here but i guess thats ok.
 
the tournament isn t that important to me but i thought it would be a nice experiment at trying to drop some weight in a short period of time.
thats why i was just looking form some advice from people who have dropped weight and some tips on my schedule.
 
ok you decided to cut weight...

for something so important ask your instructor and what not

hey, your very dumb individual and a pile of poop!! and your mom smells bad
jk, gosh its a freaking joke, eh eh

are you allowed to drop f bombs on here?
 
ive already discussed it with my instrucotrs but came on here for more opinions on my routine and what i can add to it.
 
yes
my instructor just advised cut out all sugar and try to eat more natural foods.
i came on here for an overview of my training regime.
 
ok, day before get a plastic suit and go into a sauna, do a little warm up in there and check your weight, i guess you can float like 1-2 pounds badaboom! next morning, weigh in and before tourney starts get yourself a light breakfast

thats how i did it in hs, lets wait for other guys to comment
