jamesnicholnutrition.com/preview enjoy! 😊
Do you watch muay Thai fights to prepare?
Sorry to bother you but what was the graft you took for your acl surgery and did it had any side effects on you
Nice work mate
Don't listen to this guy's advice. No processed foods or garbage marketing drinks. Eat healthy organic foods, good hydration and educate yourself about minerals, vitamins and macronutrients. Cold shower or bath for better recovery and i recommend eat fruit in the morning and then on evening do meat, eggs or whatever food rich in protein and fats you choose to avoid insulin spikes and sleep better. All you need.
Horrible advice
Love it James
Except if you have to cut 20+lbs
Don't forget protein intake
Thankyou for giving the name of your PT
I am able to do 2 session a day when I started
how do you get carbs during training??
I think that he's talking about consuming carbs between sessions
@@fernando64395 he said during though
Bullshit
I would use neolyte at 7-11 and mix it with one of those B- complex drinks. And eat Spicy liver salad, because liver has a lot of nutrients.
Hi there! So 20-30% carbs I understand, but what about sodium in this immediate re-hydration drink? Could you add sodium to coconut water to make it more effective as well?
Same day weigh ins are the way to go. 1. Health risks, they assume the risk of the sport. That’s it. If your weight cut led to injury or death, that is your fault. 2. Missed weight, you lose. That’s it. Adapt to the same day weigh in and come in slightly under by just being in shape. Or, if your opponent wants it, you go ahead with the match but it’s an exhibition and won’t count against your opponent if you win. However, your loss will count.
Mfs will put on a whole video instead of saying same day weigh ins smh
No weight limit, height classes.
Just do it weekly on random days 🤷
While not directly related to weight cutting, another way to manage (at least of earlier, amateur athletes) is to fight at a weight class where your bodyfat is relatively low/abs are at least visible. This ensures your weight at that weight class is likely to be competitive/arent carrying around much excess body fat. The other two main variables are carb and water manipulation. Generally carb manipulation can allow you to cut 2-5kg, and water around the same. However I personally feel while the carb reduction fight week is safe, I've not done well when water cut was excessive.
U in Thailand?
Good vid. Correct take.
Nice one mate
They could definitely just do the weigh in 5 minutes the fight. Its the fighters responsibility to make weight. Not the promotion. Nobody cares how much you spent on fight camp or preparation. Its also the promotions responsibility to make arrangements in case of things like this happening.
I want to try this sooo bad but I have zero martial arts experience so I’m not sure if I can hack it.
u don’t need experience, just start. at least with the mindset of exercising. or u can run and do calisthenics
@@voidofmisery4810If you never start, you’ll never have experience.
As a diabetic 8 out of 10 of your top foods would send my glucose through the roof!!! If the point is to look good in my coffin I would follow your advice.
Big muscles, thick bones= carbohydrate, not protein. The body is made up of water, not protein. Remember moderation is everything, listen according to what your body feels.
What are your thoughts on creatine during fight week when attempting to cut 8-10% body weight?
The daytime nap between sessions makes a huge difference if you can get it. Atleast 2-3 hours More than any meal
Yeah bro i ket feeling like a zombie. Sleeping a bit during the day does help. But Hydration and sleep is probably the two most important things to keep in mind.
@@stephen-jamesfowler3063 Yep cant just chug water in the middle of training gotta hydrate throughout the day and also like 9 hours atleast of sleep
Bro I need a nap watching this
@@ajmenadue2925 Exercise the brain a bit.
All sounds like common sense, except I would have neglected to do any of it at all. The 3rd tip is something I'd never have thought. Great vid.
Great video I am going to try weightlifting and a mouy thai session one in the morning and one in the night every other day, and in the days between them, i really want to do HIIT Sprint and polymetrics Is it a good idea ? I could really use some guidance 🙏
You should be fine. Just eat right. If you want to nap but lifting actually helps as it produces testosterone and they both balance each other actually.
From what? What have done before as sports? From nothing to this would not be great. Also do not get why you want to do hiit sprints when Muay Thai is already an high intensity sport. You will use to much energy and not recover. In my opinion do some running on low hearth rate instead of Hiit to recover and build base cardio. But do whatever you want.
@@jblizzard962 originally, I did 4 days of weightlifting and 2 days of HIIT sprint. Thanks for replying. I keep your advice in mind
@@beast02cortez85 Thank you for replying 🙏
Good Luck my shoulder dislocated in wrestling practice…. But I don’t give up and rebuild

Here's an update on what's happened since the surgery: ua-cam.com/video/UBWCbpTLX5w/v-deo.html
How much weight do you typically cut? (I just had this video come up in suggested videos) Back in the day when I was 17-20yrs at 5'6 tall I would cut 15lbs or less, to make weight at what is referred to as "superflyweight" in boxing, I could have probably easily made regular flyweight (112lb), but never had a offer at flyweight.
Thank you
This video for free? Crazy
Really appreciate the content🙏
Thank you so much
Does this apply to amateur boxing?
For amateur boxing or other formats with less than 6 hours to recover between weighing in and fighting, I recommend walking around more like 6-11% above
Not sure you're using the word counter intuitive right
Wow…. Makes sense…. However, you have to sweat out more weight than is safe!!!
Wrong, your losing fat and muscle not water.
@@TheMexicanU.S.Marine and water you cant lose a pound of fat or muscle in a day water is much easier to lose
So how about putting milk, ice, creatine powder, and bananas into a blender, maybe some protein powder and you got the ultimate Muay Thai milkshake. Helps with recovery and bone health/strength, plus it would help with building muscle and energy as well. Ngl I’m gonna try it while I’m training to see how it holds up, I can fit it into my diet whether I’m bulking or whether I’m cutting weight, because all I gotta do is change portion sizes to account for calories.
Tyson Fury has a 40% bmi and is the Goat
This doesn't apply to heavyweights
Heavy weights have so much muscle they need the fat to fuel the kinetic force they produce.
@@DARTHLungren99 I'd suspect their primary fuel during fight (for punching) is glycogen. It's abled to produce more energy than fat in a time frame given.
More Muscle means you are super slow and you build up more lactic acid.
Not if you practice proper recovery
Same case with more fat
Not that you're super slow. More that you gas out faster from having to spend more energy to move more mass. Big muscular guys are very explosive and fast until their gas tank empties. Only then do they become slow
story of wrestling. Although now that I am older, I rather of not cut weight and get proper nutrition. At 152 my performance was amazing, at 145 my legs felt heavy and weak.
