Just because lactate will be sky high for Dricus and Khamzat doesn’t mean they’re “anaerobic” and not using the aerobic energy system. Lactate is being shuttled to the brain, heart, and muscles as a preferred fuel source during intense exchanges in the octagon.

Dricus Du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev will be an absolute banger ⤵️ But if you want to fight effectively for 5 rounds, it's not about slogging more miles. One important molecule is lactate (not lactic acid) Cont...

The fighter who has trained to better transport and use lactate as fuel is the one better prepared for dealing with high intensity championship rounds.

This is awesome

Balance is a task specific quality. Meaning standing on a wobbleboard etc won't make you more "balanced" for [insert sport here]

@BowTied_Buck @bowtiedgrappler Where do you train? I'm in Austin too

@bowtiedgrappler What’s your plan? Where are you located? I’m in Austin TX and it’s the Mecca of grapplers. Gyms on every corner. I’d explore custom grappling lessons for women and children in their own private homes. Less overhead for you and a clientele that appreciates at home lessons

If I can turn my grappling business into a full-time income ($48,000/year) I would be the happiest man on the planet— I know it may not seem much but that would just prove sooo many things for me 2024 gearing up to be great
