What, When & How Much Do I Eat Before Competing??? 🍉 🍲 🍗

[@alexshevtsov3496]

Quick tip to add: if you do a pretty big weight cut (10lbs day of or week of weigh ins) take some digestive enzymes before your first meal after weigh ins. Your body natural enzymes die out after not having food or water for a long time so taking the supplement will allow your body to process the foods better, put on good weight, and take in the nutrients from the food better as well

Best advice ever

[@LukeHartMMA]

Pineapple / mangos

[@tk7330]

If your accepting requests then I'd love to see a vid on clinch work

[@lupus4687]

Hell yeah

[@ryvaleska]

That's a great idea bro

[@ethentrevanion]

he’s a kickboxer

[@lupus4687]

@@ethentrevanion kickboxing also has clinches. You can punch and kick(below waist). And the champ went to Thailand once specifically to work clinch.

What's your favourite foods to eat competition day? Please don't say junk food 🙄 (I've seen that before)

[@GabboTheGreat]

Weetbix with strawberries and a banana

Good luck man. Make us proud.

Good luck brother!

[@thejmc4074]

How did it go ?

[@jamesloo4549]

Definitely botched this one on my fight last month. Thank you so much for this information. Hope this helps me get my first win in Jan!

[@godsofwar1186]

You asked "Why you should not eat bananas before a fight? " The answer: Fructose gets digested in the liver and glucose is available right now. So by eating fruit just before the fight you ensure that you'll put more strain on your liver.

[@ACarpenter89]

do you have any videos on shoulder injury prevention and recovery

[@ryvaleska]

Such a unique idea, great content :)

[@bardrasmussen9550]

If there is one thing I always have on fightday (and also after weigh-ins then it is bananas! Lots of other foods as well, but always bananas 😉👊

[@jasonadams6655]

Thank you so much Champ ❤

[@thehighcommunity247]

Thank-you for this excellent video!! These videos help me out a lot. I know that these will make a difference come my first fight.

[@dylanchumley9841]

Wtf man literally reading my mind. I have my first comp this Friday and have no idea what to do diet wise thanks man

[@ChristheCEO1]

Good luck bro, you're gonna be nervous as hell but it'll be alright!

[@viktorracz7399]

I’ve cut weight once lol after weigh in I ate a baguette with chicken, butter and paprika. Drank a half liter eis tee with sugar and about two liters of water. I felt like Superman. Lmao

[@alim555abdul]

I think you are

[@Fergon231]

This was super necessary 🔥🔥

[@scumbagjay6251]

This is great advice, will definitely take this into consideration when i begin my fighting. Thanks for making this kind of video. Looking forward to the next one 💪

[@محمدالكناني-ق6ب]

Thank you very much. Your channel is considered one of the best channels, in addition to your distinctive style of showing martial arts stars,and styles especially fullcontact. I wish you all success and prosperity. I hope 🙏more videos about combat sambo and full contact karate styles

[@pierrotcristian]

Thank you for this video! Could you do a similar video where you talk about how you manage your meals and your training sessions during the day? Today something happened to me: I trained two and a half hours after lunch, and it all went alright when I was doing weights and body conditioning: but then I went out for a run and it felt terrible, I felt like throwing up!

[@honestlee9921]

I've ALWAYS wondered this. I wanna be fully optimized

[@yazanarafat5997]

thank you so much for this golden advice, have a fight on friday and feeling good. my last performance wasn’t the best so i will need to make up

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Best of luck. I hope some info in this episode helps you.

[@yazanarafat5997]

Topics I’d love: more reviews of training/fighting equipment Reviews or thought on gloves hand wraps How you mold mouth guards Favorite gloves/bags/targets

[@randomanonymoushuman]

Get a mouthguard made at the dentist, changed my life, i used to hate having moulded mouthguards and i grew up playing rugby, i dont even notice my dentist mouthguard is in after a minute, it fits so well.

[@hate2476]

Thank you for advice!!!

[@FatMikeAdventures]

Gabriel, My dad says every single time game roosters fight they take a 💩 first.

[@HeroClassed]

Gabriel could you do a video on basic drills for children for boxing and kickboxing. With many countries affected the covid 19 kids are stuck at home and parents including myself is finding it difficult to keep them busy. Awesome videos keep up the great work

[@christianbelzer]

Risotto - thats that italian foods name. It is basically rice with cheese in a slimy form. Very tasty

[@honestlee9921]

GSP said once he used to always have chicken Alfredo pasta before his fights lol. In his accent.

[@baseheadfitness6062]

I have an issue rn for energy, im training 3 hours daily 6 days a week. Working daily blah blah blah. What are foods or supplements for training you recommend please?

[@guy6044]

I think an EPO would be ur best bet lmao, it sounds like you could be overtraining your body. Im no pro tho.

[@farmanshekh6696]

Don't train much 🤔

[@mitchellwarner1526]

carbs and sugar will give you energy i take a vitamin water with me to practice and will drink it about half way through just to give myself energy. can also try cliffbars or gatorade

[@danielsales4902]

Mexican supplements

[@leonbozzini6551]

Risotto... The "cheesy rice dish" you were blanking on is called risotto. Much love from Italy champ

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

THANK YOU. I've eaten so much of it over there. Crazy I blanked 😋

[@aleksbanev7456]

Hi Gabriel. I am new to your chanel and really like your content. In one of your videos you gave us tips on how to still train even when you haven't slept a lot. Can you also share how you prioritise sleep over everything else. Thank you

[@djconyers7860]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE A VIDEO ON CARDIO i just started mma 5 months ago and i really need the INFO PLEASE 🙏

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Cardio...one of my favourite topics. I'll get it done.

[@honestlee9921]

Bananas r great, but one thing Ive heard is that they make you hungrier quicker after eating them . And more intensely

[@Torpedoman316]

I always like to be just a little bit hungry right before the fight. Also who is the person who hated on bananas and said u shouldn't have when training. Bananas are the one thing that never hurts my stomach if I eat it close to practice time, so I'm glad u called that out Gabe!

[@alexroes6157]

Yes plz do clinch work

Hi Gabriel, what recipe did u use for spinach, im asking because I want to cut some weight and I've got no idea what is spinach good with so please help me out

[@walterortizdk]

I weigh in the same day i fight with roughly 3 hrs until show starts and then its just waiting until its my turn. What can i eat to not come in too heavy before the weigh in? And what should i eat afterwards knowing I've got a time window (roughly 3hrs) until show starts to feel energy-efficient and not bloated/ tired?

[@bigdaddygucciabg836]

What’s your calorie intake Non fighting days?

[@lame6509]

Banana makes my stomach cramp if I use it as pre

[@frederickdoyon]

I would love so much to know what is your "meal routine" overall. I'm the same height and weight as you but with less muscles and higher body fat percentage. Would love to be as lean as you.

[@shashank_bose]

Great video. I have a question when I punch my punching bag and connect it really feels weak to me idk what it is and I checked my technique and it was good. Would love it if you could give your insight on this. Thanks

[@The_Void_Staring_Back]

Do you ever use protein supplements/powders while in fight camp or otherwise? Sorry if you've already addressed this. Thanks.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I haven't really talked about it yet. I will soon. But yes. There are a few things a take.

[@mickycloete3750]

Howzit Gabriel i just wanto know ive been dieting my whole fighting career like this i dont eat after 5pm at night in camp time but i do train until 7pm somedays until 8pm then i ussualy go sleep hungry is it bad or should i eat before bedtime my next fight now 2nd of march so im busy diet still need to cut 11pounds

[@Nazirite_SouL]

what if the fight is 1pm? how many hours prior should you eat?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I would eat a full breakfast 8-9 and then have small snacks if I'm hungry at any times. I would stop eating about 30 minutes before the warmup.
