stage 1 help
I'm sure this has been covered at some point but I couldn't clearly see the answers in this group. I don't understand what workout 1,2 workout 3,4 workout 5,6 workout 7,8 is all about. I can understand doing the sets in order 2 X15 then doing it again, is this 1,2? But it doesn't fit in with the programme duration to go…

Jujutsu is not Brazilian
Does this bug anyone else? Watching UFC in Rio they kept banging on about the pride of Jujutsu being Brazilian. It's not, much of the ground game even grew out of Japanese technique. The commentators even use the Japanese terms! Bjj is Brazilian and the Gracie's have made it their own and for sure let's give credit where…

Warm Up!
Just wondering what you all do for a warm up?? Ours is pretty tough going and I like it because then when we have a technique focused session I know I worked hard in the beginning so it's balanced. Over all I think it makes us fitter too as we do a 60 second a piece training circuit for about 15 mins. Right now we train in…

Casein vs Whey
Been told to take Casein before bed by my PT (meaning after dinner at some point) because it keeps your body digesting through the night, not giving your metabolism a chance to slow down or stop, then it's raring to go in the morning. Thoughts? Experiences? I think my diary is open if you wanted to be nosy and tell me it…

Wheyhey ice cream
Who's had it? It's not too high in cal and it's fairly low in carb so compares to an over the counter protein shake. Looks yummy I need a local stockist.

What belt are you?
I noticed people saying lots of things that quite frankly I don't understand. I am 'fourth notch rainbow belt' etc etc and in all martial arts the grading systems are different so it's hard to understand and sometimes congratulate. Tell us a bit about where you are in what you train in. Your martial art? Jujitsu Your belt?…

HELP!! About to start 30day shred, who's been there
I am getting a copy of this from a friend next week. I know it's a 30 day plan but does it provide rest days? I train twice a week in sessions that I can't miss and I don't get home till very late so I am wondering about fitting this in. My thinking is fit in 30 lessons alongside my schedule making it a 38 day shred! So I…

Martial Arts Burn
I am wondering how you all calculate the calories you burn at training? Tips and advice about eating back exercise cals in this instance etc would also be good. For me, I know how hard I work in a session and if I deserve the cals or not so I won't always eat back the cals. When I do 20 mins of EA sports active with a…

Motivation, self belief
Just a thought that this is the one thing you can't buy and the one thing you won't find a recipe or solution to here. You only find it in yourself. So doesn't it suck when you lose yours?! It can't just be me can it?

Midlands UK
Anyone from anywhere in the Midlands and want new friends? It would be good to have local MFP's with similar interests and the possibility of meeting up to train (if you jog or anything), or just motivating each other, also diary sharing with people who shop in the same places as you. I'm looking to join a gym in Derby and…

Gaga Bulimia
A recent news story said Lady Gaga admitted to fighting bulimia from a young age. She spoke out to children to love themselves and not change. That is here above when she was young and that is here below. I love Gaga I think she is so pretty and when you take out the photoshopped images she's quite natural.

If you are hungry, eat
It may seem obvious I know. But I have had a day out of my normal routine and I was peckish between meals. In hindsight I think I needed carbs I am drained from a big day yesterday. But I had a yoghurt, another , then snacked. I'm a few hundred cals over today now. I am learning from my mistakes and hope you do too.
