since i will probably be competing again in a week or so i figure ied post what last minute things im doing to give you guys some ideas should you need em.:
the 100's
100 push ups
100 squats
100 sit ups
100 leg lifts
100 shots
100 sprawls
100 bridges (i do forward and backward bridges, 50 each)
100 elevators and stand ups BUT i dont do those because they are more mma relevant then grappling
I STOP WEIGHTS, a week or two before and start doing bodyweight conditioning such as the one above
, because you cant make any serious gains in strength in a week or two, so instead use the time to do bodyweight exercises and "reacquaint" your body, cause if you cant control your own body good you have no business grappling.
IM NOT CUTTING WEIGHT THIS COMP. so instead of any sort of weight cutting whatever, im simply eating healthy that means
very limited to no snacks, no fast food, nothing overly oil or fat, just nice balanced mealst throughout the week before you compete, along with maby some multivitamins and supplements like such to keep me healthy through the tourny.
when you drill, and drill ALLOT, drill your A-game moves, your goto moves, the national American grappling association worlds, is not the place to be trying out new variations of the crucifix.
DAY OF AND BEFORE COMP:
ushally i pack up the night before so im not looking for last minute things, i usually take:
a bottle or two of water, lunch, somethings to restore my energy between matchs, and if i was cutting weight, after i weigh in this can include:
grape juice, or Gatorade or a homemade sports drink to restore your sugars and carbs,, and a banana to restore your stores of potassium. perhaps a small granola bar EMPHASIS ON SMALL.
when i get there ill ushally SIP water throughout the day, the nervousness of competition will dry your mouth, thats not a proper indicator of dehydration, sip water to stay hydrated and focused but small sips because you want to avoid filling you stomach, save lunch for that after your done competing.
before my first match ill often stretch out thoroughly to loosen up, just some breathing exercises to myself to remove all pre-match clutter in my head and just go in there nice and clear. although not something i ushally have a chance to do its a good idea to have a light roll for position and drill some techniques just like you would in class with your instructor or another person, so your mind and body is all warmed up to grapple, if no ones available then just drill some stuff lightly yourself.
then go and do your best, try to initiate the take down and thats all there is to it.
