I train with a former Navy Seal.

He doesn't have some magic powers that make him a bad ass.

He is just as good as the other guys who have been training as long as he has and is in the same...

Oh and I heard that the Eddie Bravo term "New York" (the position after chill dog in the standard rubber guard progression) is named after Shawn Williams or maybe John Danaher (both came up doing BJJ...

Dean Lister actually used the Shawn Williams guard, not rubber guard.

Eddie would call that a London, but he doesn't use that in his system anymore.

Oh and to the guys saying Rubber Guard is not used by elite level grapplers. . .

Ricardo Almedia used it in his last fight. Obviously he trains it and it is a part of his game. And if you say...

Here is my favorite type of guard, the Shawn Williams guard.

Nice log and great deadlifts!

What division and weight class will you be doing at NAGA?

Good luck!!

How much body fat % did you cut down and in how long of a time frame?

What happened to your lifts as you did this? Did you lose a lot of strength?

Also, what about your cardio? Did it get...

lol yeah really!

the philosphy of bjj is to obtain the best possible position from which you can attack your opponent and your opponent cannot attack you

If you are talking about a pure style vs style match up, BJJ is the best.

A guy who has trained in nothing but BJJ will beat a pure wrestler any day. This was proven when MMA started in the US.

I have heard people say "I am 85% type 2 muscle fibers". Or "I primarily have slow twitch muscles"

How can you determine this?

Is there a physical test? Or do I have to get some kind of an MRI?

Dammit so what am I supposed to drink post workout?

I don't take steroids, I lift heavy for about 60 minutes and my goal is to gain lean mass. A little bit of fat is ok, I am bulking.

Right...

I am not. Should I be?

It feels like I should give my legs 6-7 days rest.

My goal is hypertrophy and strength.

I am 6'1 186lbs and have been lifting weights for 7 years now. I always lifted to be better at whatever sports I was playing, but in the last year I started...

You guys are correct, I have been eating too much. I think I am getting closer to 4500 calories a day, than 3500.

Ive been weighin myself every morning and every afternoon at the same times. ...

I would add some high glycemic sugary carbs into your postworkout drink.

Something like Dextrose.

My PWO shake looks like this - 50grams of protein from whey + 80grams of carbs from Dextrose...

To meet it seems like your Meal 1 Breakfast needs more carbs, a single baegle is not going to cut it

How about adding one of the following:

oatmeal
sweet potatoes
brown rice
yams
lots of...

As far as training history I have been lifting weights for 8 years. I also train mixed martial arts so I am quite active. I've never really tried to seriously bulk consistently for a long time.
