    im petty sure it all has to do with your glucose stores. glucose is stored in 2 places in your body the liver and the muscles. glucose in the muscles can only be used to fuel muscles while the glucose in the liver maintains blood sugar lvls and can also supply glucose to the muscles. on top of that the amount of glucose is related to water weight with your body storing about 3 grams of water per gram of glucose.

    when you cut back drastically you drop glucose stores this results in a drop of blood sugar, drop in muscle fuel, and a drop in hydration.

    i tend to just not exercise for like a week if im doing a drastic cut back in food then i just eat and exercise while i maintain the same weight and drop BF%

    some thing that might work would be replacing a mile or 2 of your road work with 2 or 3 miles of walking. in the most basic sense your body burns a mix of glucose and fat as fuel (protien and fat if your out of glucose) the higher your heart rate the more glucose your burning and the lower your heart rate the more fat you burning. walking would help you burn less glucose while still allowing you to burn the same calories.

    another thing ive read is that your body is best at converting carbs to glucose in the first hour after exercising. i dont know if it will do anything but maybe you could try eating some carbs after training like maybe some whole wheat pretzles and an apple replenishing stores more quickly inturn providing more time for the body to break down fat into glucose.

    From memory he would have one meal a day, when he was cutting weight he would eat something like a piece of fruit and that was it, I remember he didn't eat fish because he was worried about the sodium content and he didn't want to retain water. Just all sorts of ridiculous things, the guy was clueless.

    His training was all over the place, he would do 2-3 hour sessions doing silly weightlifting exercises with 15-20kg weights along with his boxing work and believed in training to failure.
    Nothing intelligent about his training and he was very stubborn to new ideas, he always believed he knew best despite obviously not being educated on how the body works.
    I remember after Danny Green boiled himself in Perth and almost died Kostya was in the media saying it would be good for him in the long term, just goes to show his mentality - the more pain the better. Mental toughness is great but there is a point when it's just dumb and going to do nothing for you.

    Yes, I'm a qualified olympic lifting coach. I'm pretty sure I've shared that I'm a student before. What do you mean JUST a student? I'm somebody who is always learning, you should try that sometime, learning something.
    I don't remember saying that about boxing to you, but to be fair my little sister who has never boxed or watched boxing has probably forgotten more about boxing than you.

    I remember reading about his weight training routine which involved multiple sets of like 75-100 reps, it was insane.

    yeah you did, then you offered to put up a sparring video.

    ohhhhhh qualified......so your not acutally an olympic lifting coach, and youve probly had what 0 experience actually working as an olympic lifting coach?

    yeah just a student......you know some one who thinks because they spend money to learn something automatically knows more then any one else about it even though just about anything you could ever want to know can be found on the internet if you have to time to look and the inteligence to comprehend......clearly your just another student.

    as far as the bag videos i got them converted and up on youtube yesterday i dont really see a point in creating a thread and i dont really want to put the effort forth of dealing with people who dont know what their talking about critiqueing me.

    if any one wants to see me hitting the bag or shadow boxing shoot me a PM and ill send you the links after you watch it if you want to create a thread mocking me with the video in it your more then welcome to, but id imagine people will watch it see that i do know something and nothing will ever be said about it again.

    unfortunately im at work and cant access youtube so if you do pm me you probly wont get the links for another 4 hours.

    Well I can do a few extra nutrition units and become a qualified nutritionist if I decide to take that path. What do you disagree with?

    You get qualifications by knowing what you're doing, they don't just hand out things like that without you demonstrating the knowledge and being able to show progression of lifts to a complete beginner. It's not my job but I can coach someone with a periodised plan using correct technique. My studies are because I'm going to be a strength and conditioning coach and I thought having that knowledge and qualifications for olympic lifting would be valuable as they are terrific for developing power.
    Yeah correct information can be found on the internet, I don't believe that being a student makes you any more intelligent or knowledgable on something but you do get tested on it and everything comes from up to date credible sources.
    If you got tested on your knowledge you know you wouldn't pass. You've been copying and pasting from the net and you still have no idea about what's going on, you add your own ridiculous theories without understanding basic things. That's why everybody thinks you're a joke. You're one of these tards who can't even understand basic english (your use of your and their).
    I have boxed competitively under a coach who was an olympic team coach so I know a little bit about boxing. Certainly more than a garage master like yourself. I'll get you your sparring video when I go back in the new year okay bud?
    Post your videos here caveman, I want a laugh :good

    You're probably right. What's your point? Top Boxers hire nutritionists for a reason, should Kostya say to the nutritionist
    "sorry but I'm a more accomplished boxer than you, therefore I don't believe in your nutritional advice".
    You're a true moron.

    im certified in a bunch of **** for microsoft but low and behold when i actually started working with computers in my field there was a whole **** load of new stuff i had to learn.

    a qualification is nothing more then somethign you put on your resume so you actually get accepted to come in for an interview.

    just post the vids in here? can do but it wont be till closer to 3.5 hours now.

    Where'd you copy this from? I know you didn't copy it all because there are still the trademark Ylemmy moments of idiocy. I take back what I said to eraser before, you're probably best ignoring everything said on here with ******os like Ylem lurking around pretending to know something.

    no one listens to any one. any intelligent human being questions everything.

    so any one speaking to a nutritionailist is going to doubt things and agree with things then their going to go home and try out what they thought sounded useful.

    hes not going to say "sorry but I'm a more accomplished boxer than you, therefore I don't believe in your nutritional advice" but i garuentee he would not follow all of the nutritionilists advice and he would not change all of his nutrition related ways.

    When it comes to the human body and any profession relating to it if you're not still learning when you're 100 you're not doing it right.
    Your problem is that you don't understand basic things and you're too stubborn to admit you're wrong. Doesn't look good for you with that attitude.

    Maybe you should question yourself?
    That's how you would react to somebody who knows what they're doing and that's why you're a ****ing idiot.
    A nutritionist working with an athlete is going to work with them, if the athlete thinks something doesn't sound right then fine, they'd question the nutritionist. The nutritionist would explain it and then the athlete would understand.
    Only a complete ******** like yourself would only use what they thought sounded useful and ignore the advice of the person they hired to help them.
