    I don't understand your question.... Magnesium has a massive list of benefits, everybody needs it and it's said to help with muscle relaxation as well.

    But Wlad should overthink it, Kidney stones are the result of too much animal protein.

    I cook for them from the start of camp through fight night for both brothers. I am also the training camp manager for both. Its about 30 weeks a year of travel and away from home (5 fights 6 weeks a fight). Thats the hardest part. Being away from my wife and kids is hard.....plus its 6 weeks (42 days) straight with no days off, so Im exhausted by the end of camp.

    luck for me, I work with 2 of the coolest and nicest guys you could ever hope to work for. Plus the rest of the team... we are like a family especially Emanuel steward. He is amazing.

    Ive been working for wlad almost 7 years now (1st fight was Peter 1) and been working for Vitali since his comeback and they are like family also.

    Its a very cool job I must admit :deal

    Wlad should not overthink you, but the animal protein, especially grilled meat, which Wlad like.

    sorry but no.
    Stones are lack of water (hydrating) build up of uric acid in the kidneys, and family history
    High animal protein is more a cause of gout not kidney stones

    on top of that.. wlad is only getting the higher protein 18 weeks out of the year(3 training camps a year)

    18 weeks out of 52 weeks a year isnt the problem

    Sorry but this are some reason, enougher are grilled meat and too much animal protein.

    Wlad will find it out, i believe he will ask his doctor in Düsseldorf, you can find it out what kind of stone it was and than you have the cause of it.

    And if you had problem with kidney stones you have to stange your food.

    Too much animal protein is the mane reaso to get kidney stones!!!

    well they are athletes and their food is not the same as what normal people needs. we only need a lower percenatge of protein in our diet but snce they need to repair their muscles from that much stress in training, protein percentage shoots up.

    normal people can eat a well-balance diet while athletes are required to eat diets that would force the body's organs like liver and kidneys to work overtime.

    Only someone who knows nothing about the state of sports physiology would ask this.

    There are all sorts of factors that can be manipulated (legally) to give an athlete an edge. Advanced nutrition, carbo-loading, plyometric training, etc etc etc. It takes a lot of study (at least an MS degree) to have a handle on this.

    Chef, I am curious (fascinated, actually) Are you also a nutritionist? That is, do you work out the overall intake of various nutrients, or is that given to you by someone else?

    Do the K's even worry about such stuff, or do they simply "eat healthfully?" Do they ever analyze their urine, etc, and adjust intake accordingly?

    Do they carbo-load the week of a fight, or is that not considered important for 36 minutes of exertion?
    You wrote, "during fight week the carbs go up, fat & protein comes down so we can carb load for the fight" - but that's NOT how you carbo-load.

    The process is basically: You eat mainly protein (and lots of water to protect the kidneys) for about a week, so the body is "starving" for carb reserves. Then 1-2 days before the event, you eat nothing BUT carbs. This causes an extra-high amount of glycogen to be stored in the liver & muscles. I was a national-level cyclist years ago, and all the teams did this all the time.

    -but boxing is of course different. (I was a boxer before I was a cyclist, but back then no one talked about such things.) Too much carbo loading might actually slow down fast-twitch muscle groups. I'd be very interested to know more about how elite boxers approach such issues.

    That´s true but you can not overlook Wlad´s problem. But i believe he is an intelligent man and will work it out with his doctor Professor Peter Albers. He is a specialist.

    Wlad can not overlook this problem.
