Another big thing for me was sleep. I used to get horrible sleep but I always felt lazy for not going to jiu jitsu in the morning and after a while I got tired of feeling like that and went to a sleep doctor and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Have a CPAP machine now and I feel like I have unlimited stamina.

I have been boxing for years, but you have inspired me to start taking classes. I will be starting with team chitwood to begin my MMA journey this week!

[@ryanliu6694]

The week of my competition this weekend, I trained 8 times in five days. I rolled every round. I think diet is super important, especially if you're inexperienced like me (I only have three months of jiu jitsu). I ate super clean and ended up winning all my fights by submission in less than a minute! It felt great too. I wasn't tired at all nor did I have any burnout.

[@TheSantos173]

That’s impressive 3 months of BJJ. How many times a week you trained?

[@ryanliu6694]

@@TheSantos173 5 usually, but the week of the tournament I trained 8 times in 5 days and for a week I regrettably trained 10 because I'm young and dumb lol

[@dereksather5921]

Changing up my diet and lifting for endurance helped me significantly with energy in general. Adding more protein with carbs in the morning was the first step. Sometimes I switch it up to keep it interesting, but if I stick to my key nutrition plan I feel like I roll and lift better.

Man I feel this big time. There are days where I have gone to three classes in a single day and feel tired but can compete by the end. There are also days where I miss two days and rest and show up and feel like it's my first day at BJJ and I'm almost puking.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Ossss - dead on - this is the toughest type of discipline for me!!

[@paisano316]

Great advice. This video is actually inspiring me to get my diet back on track. Thanks Chewy!!

[@etherealessence]

Starting bjj tomorrow night, i'm not sure i could go that far as to sticking to a strict diet, but for the last year I've been making an effort to eat healthier. Started by slowly cutting sugar out of my coffee, then giving up one of my favorite vices, candy, I keep slowly marching on to a healthier life style. With every change I've made, I feel MUCH better. Can't wait to see where this path is gonna take me!

[@wtfimcrying]

[@lvcoffman]

I have learned, a bowl of oatmeal about 1.5-2 hours before a hard class is a great way to make sure I have enough in the gas tank.

[@oceangrown8617]

Works for me too. My favorite : 2 cups whole oats, 2 Tbs chia seeds, 2Tbs shredded coconut, 20 chopped almonds and honey to taste. Roll fuel! Coconut water or Watermelon juice right after. Oss!

[@lvcoffman]

@@oceangrown8617 coconut water mixed 50/50 with pomegranate juice is my go to after class! A bit sweet, a bit tart, very refreshing! Oss!

[@dadthelad]

Yup, it's not just what you eat, it's when you eat. Complex carbs 2 hours before action. Nothing after that except water or simple carbs like fruit.

[@botbadger]

If you look further into why this is a great meal you will find it is due to the amount of carbs and what GI rating it is

[@michaels9388]

Nice, that's easy to do I need to try this.

[@yogsothoth-tz2bu]

I'd say if diet doesn't do the trick, maybe have a look at your sleep. Small changes in my sleep quality have huge impacts the next day. Lots of smart watches and rings these days will tell you more details about your sleep cycles and if you're getting quality sleep or not.

@chewjitsu Great video, did you hire a dietician or other professional? Were they dedicated to sports nutrition?

[@tjsho417]

Mr. Chewey and Mr. Dewey should definitely do a collaboration video together!!

[@futbol1972]

Thank u for the video. Iam a fit 50 year old that started doing bjj 2 weeks ago, 3x a week M, Wand F at 6am. Since I started doing BJJ I have not done weight lifting which I love to do but I been very sore 😞. My endurance is very bad too☹️ the most i have rolled is two 5 min rounds plus live drills. Anyways, should I lift the same days I do BJJ? I do BJJ at 6am M,W and F and thinking about weight lifting the same days but later on like around 7pm..OR should I lift on the none BJJ days better like T TH and S?? Also I was just lifting to keep muscle and to stay lean. Sometimes I would lift heavy. Iam a 50 year old 5'8 about 180lbs. Do I need to modify my lifting now that iam doing BJJ??. In my home gym I have a lat pull down machine, a rack, a functional trainer, sled, airdyne bike, kettle bells, dumbells , medicine balls, battle ropes, macebells, sled, punching bags etc...I also like to do 30 min hitt workouts like once a week.
