Master Your Weight: The Key to Competition Success

As a BJJ competitor who's been through the ups and downs of weight management, I can tell you firsthand: mastering your weight is crucial for competition success. In the Beginner BJJ Blueprint program, I'll guide you through the intricacies of weight management, ensuring you're at your best when it matters most.

The Importance of Weight Management in BJJ

In BJJ, competing in the right weight class can give you a significant advantage. It's not just about being the lightest or the heaviest - it's about finding your optimal competitive weight where you're strong, agile, and confident.

My Personal Weight Cutting Experience

I've pushed the limits of weight cutting in my own career. For the ADCC trials, I undertook an extreme cut from 172lbs to 145.5lbs over two months. This journey was even featured on Flow Grappling. While I didn't win the competition (my opponent was incredibly skilled, and I put up a decent fight), this experience taught me invaluable lessons about weight management.

However, I want to be clear: this level of weight cutting is extreme and not something I recommend for most competitors. It was a unique situation where other weight classes were sold out. But it allowed me to test various weight cutting strategies in a real-world scenario, giving me insights into food types, timing, water/salt intake, energy management, and peaking for competition.
