                But at the end of the day if you can’t snatch your body weight, do you really even lift, bro?

                          I’m just starting to lift. I did BJJ three times a week combined with a modified Keto w/ a 7Pm-noon fast and dropped from 298 to 208 in a year.

                          I’m now adding in some carbs and doing a more balanced diet while lifting to see if I can continue to burn fat stores while increasing strength/muscle. Did my first session with a strength/conditioning coach on Friday.

                              There’s a couple of guys at my Jiu jitsu gym I’m working with, Pedro Lima, who trains at World’s Gym, is who I worked out with Friday. Jason Cook,  owns CrossFit PH, and is trying to get me in his gym. I’m thinking a six week strength cycle with Pedro, followed by a 6 week strength/cond with Jason.

                                @joesaintjohn I see that you're half two-thirds the man you used to be! 😃

                                Congratulations on the weight loss. That's a big drop, and you're looking good. Shame you're now going to have to spend a fortune on replacing your Iron Heart gear to fit your new, svelte frame. 😞

                                  Congrats @joesaintjohn ! If you're already doing BJJ, you might not need the conditioning on top of it. BJJ is already a near perfect HIIT workout and conditioning is brutal. I would do a couple slow paced 40mn endurance sessions a week.

                                    @JDelage that’s what I’m thinking. My BJJ gym has a brutal warm up and class pace. I’ve been doing some jogging/stairs at a stadium down from my house once a week. Really, I think strength is where I need focus. I competed last weekend, and recognized it was a weakness of mine, no pun intended.

                                      What do you do for 2-3 hours in the gym every day?! I do 5/3/1 and I am at most there for 1hr 15mins 2-3 times a week!

                                        I was wondering the same.  Seems a bit overkill.  I'm in there about 60-90 minutes each session, 3 times per week.

                                            So who is going to be the first to man up and do a Smolov Squat cycle in 2018?
