Some good ones are a multivitamin,fishoil, flaxseed, and of course a protein and dont forget a good nights rest 7+ hours. You'll be amazed at how good your body feels from day to day.<BR/>Currently i do 5 bjj classes a week, 3 judo, and 5 days of gym workouts. so wednesday (active rest) and sunday is completely off for me. seems like alot but i gotta do it while im young.<BR/>Happy training boys, hope to hear more of you guys stories.radamezwww.myspace.com/jd0t336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456765418480247631.post-52207395544764375342008-07-25T11:48:00.000-07:002008-07-25T11:48:00.000-07:003 group classes with group rolling is definitely the "sweet spot." More than that and I start getting worn down instead of built up.<BR/><BR/>But private lessons are a good way to supplement the chaos of "anything goes" training at group classes. I do 3 group classes and 2-3 private lessons a week. Plus an open mat, which is kinder, gentler than aggro class rolling.<BR/><BR/>Right now for my gi private lessons, I have a superb instructor who pushes me to my limits, has my heart pounding, but never spazzes and hurts me, never ends up in "death grip clinch fights", those isometric battles that tear down our joints and muscles.<BR/><BR/>Find the right groove and you can train more. Just think outside the "group class" box.<BR/><BR/>And remember you get those 300-500 baht two hour Thai massages ($10-$15 for US readers) on a regular basis. We'd be in the poor house if we tried that in the States. Plus Thai massage is very therapeutic - I think it was invented to get farmers back in the fields and fighters back on their feet (office workers don't NEED massage, imho). A friend called it "yoga for lazy people" since they stretch you a lot too.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work Luke. Quaff a beer for me at Soi Cowboy and remember "life is good."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
