Mega Nutritional Supplements

Hey everyone!

I’m switching from playing college football, I was a defensive end, to doing mma fighting. I wresled in hs and have a tae kwon do black belt and a brown belt in judo and would love to learn mui tai, kempo and more wrestling skills, but i weight way too much for the sport and I CAN’T SEEM TO LOOSE A POUND! so…

I wanted to get some smart opinions on what my nutritional intake should be while I’m on a fairly intense workout regimen that I’m currently doing. So my over all goal of my diet/work out is to loose excess fat, while increasing muscle (at least maintaining I would like to keep what I’ve worked damn hard to make).

ME:

Height – 6′3"
Weight – 285 (I was a defensive linemen, think Julius Peppers not pudgy fat kid)
BMI – 35.6 (BMI is bull **** but thought I’d put it in)

Workout:

Mon – Wed – Fri
-Rowing machine, bike and elliptical trainer (I do 5 mins of each for 30 min rotating)
-Shoulder, Back and Leg weight training
-20 mins in the sauna (feels great and supposed to help loose water weight)

Tue – Thur – Sat
-Sprints (4-200 yards 4 100 yards and 4 50 yards)
-Chest, Triceps, Biceps and ab weight training
-20 mins on the heavy bag and jump rope
-10 mins in sauna

Sun – OFF!

Right now I’m taking tons of supplements. One 60 gram of protein shake a day, one sustained release protein shake before bed, 2 30 gram of protein bars a day, nano vapor, cell tech, intravol, L-Glutatmine tabs, hydroxycut hardcore (got it free, not sold on it) and a amino 3000mg pill. Thinking of doing a beginner cutting stack, but doubt I will.

My goal weight would be around 235-240 by October, maybe September.
So let me know the last piece, the nutrition. Total daily calorie fat protein and carb intake! Right now I’m in the 260-290 range for protein. Thanks!!

Wow, i dont ever think ive had this problem to answer you have great cardio and muscle strength, but your right to fight at Heavy weight you need to lose 20 LB(but you can cut 10 if you have min of 8% body fat) and a man with as much muscle mass as you is going to have a hard time with this but i have a few ideas. ok first of all no more heavy lifting this is only going to give you high muscle mass keep it to light loads and high reps medium sets. next im sure with your experience you have a good diet so im sure you have high protein and min carb with low simple carbs this is the best for now but make sure your getting Inositol,Choline,C and all of your B vitamins they help with weight reduction. next and the biggest Long cardio not short sprints, for MMA we need lots of cardio and it is the cardio you’ve been doing (short but many sprints) but the longer you can go at 60-70%(and this number is important) for min of 45 min will reduce your weight and im sure you will hate it at first but its the only way to healthy lose weight look at long distance runners they all are lean and skinny and sprinters are lean and built (wide receivers vs defensive Ends) so if you do all this and have min of 8% body fat after that the day before your fight you can cut max of 10 lb and still be a monster after your body gets use to this weight you can go back to the heavy lifting.(im sure with your experience as a wrestler you can cut weight higher than 10 but in MMA its the best if you dont cut to much let you body be your guide). And for Muay thai or kempo i recommend Muay thai or boxing they will work better with judo and wrestling. enjoy
