Fight Week
Fight Week!
Here we are at last. Fight week.
As we get closer to Saturday taper your training and increase your carbs slightly from Wednesday.
On grading day have a high protein high fat, moderate carb breakfast. This will ensure a steady energy balance on the day. Rest well, avoid anything risky so we avoid the possibility of injury. I was told many many years ago just as we are ready to succeed, we are also ready to fail. I’ve seen athletes sabotage themselves in the last few days before a comp. It seems crazy but it’s true. So stay on point.
I have much to say which I’ll save for the day.
Last big hit out tonight, boxing tomorrow and technical Wednesday, then rest and recover ‘til Saturday.
See you on the mat.
