Ipamorelin is a Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide That Can Help Slow Down The Aging Process and increase lean muscle mass development, increase fat burning, improve recovery time and help repair damaged tissue from injuries suffered when training and competing in martial arts.

GH Peptide Therapy in Jupiter, Florida at NovaGenix Offers Peptide Therapy Programs That Are Prescribed and Monitored By An Experienced and Trained Physician. Peptides are legally prescribed and extremely well tolerated by patients.

Ipamorelin is one of the newer and best peptides in the growth factor family. It has been deemed one of the safest GHRPs and is a selective growth hormone secretagogue and Ghrelin receptor agonist in the human body. It is a third generation GHRP, or Growth hormone releasing peptide as its often called and has shown to be one of the safest alternatives to growth hormones on the market. 

HGH is extremely expensive and often has increased risks so peptides like BCP-157, sermorelin and ipamorelin are gaining popularity due to their effectiveness, affordability and educed risks of negative side effects.

 IPA/CJC 1295 is is not just one of the cleanest of the GHRP’s, it’s extremely effective (even more so than other peptides) due to its specificity. One of the benefits is that the peptide ipamorelin provides for athletes and martial artists is that it can create similar increases in the secretion of growth hormone however does so without the stimulation of appetite and increased levels of cortisol, aldosterone, prolactin and acetylcholine as is the case with some other peptides in the same classification, making it a superior alternative medication. 

It’s extremely well tolerated and its strength is comparable to GHRP-6 and GHRp-2. Both of these GHRP's are now highly regulated and restricted so the best option for competitors in sports like jiu-jitsu, wrestling, mma and other combat sports can focus on the benefits of Ipamorelin and CJC 1295, which is actually a better medication, especially when takin in to consideration the need for maintaining weight. GHRP's often increase hunger, which is not the friend of an athlete needing to cut or make weight before a fight.

 Ipamorelin stimulates the pituitary gland and has a number of benefits for patients who choose to capitalize on its anti-aging properties. 

Some of the benefits of Ipamorelin/CJC 1295 include:

• Increases in the production of collagen for healthy skin.
• Decreased body fat composition helping to cut weight.
• Increases in lean muscle mass and increased strength.
• Significant improvements in sleep, thus helping support energy, immunity and recovery.
• Increases in IGF-1 production.
• Increased regeneration of tissue and cellular repair helping post workout and injury recovery.
• Increases in bone mineral production, content and density and strength.
• Counteraction of Glucocorticoid catabolic effects alleviating inflammation. 
• Decreased appetite stimulation as compared to GHRP-6, leading to less hunger pangs.
• Decreased releasing of cortisol, aldosterone and prolactin improving hormonal balance.

How many Calories do we burn in BJJ?

How many Calories do we burn in BJJ?

Also...If you do BJJ, I'm sure you've had your fair share of bumps and bruises... Look into PRP therapy... It will help you heal without needing surgery. 

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an endurance sport when it comes to training, much like the marathon runner or a cyclist. A BJJ tournament will tax an athlete as they will need to have the ability to fight several times and each individual match will have periods of high intensity sprinting. So fighters need to train their body to handle both areas of energy output and thus need to consume calories to fuel such activity. A serious BJJ fighter will train as much as any runner. A two hour long class can burn a tremendous amount of calories. The fact is that an athlete who is putting in long sessions at the gym may burn several thousand kcals a day. Look at U.S. Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and his training diet as an example. To meet the potential needs of an athlete will require huge amounts of nutritional planning to meet their dietary goals. This may not always fit into an athletes schedule, but will be necessary to ensure adequate stores of energy for the next day’s training. Sometimes eating can be one of the more difficult aspects of an athletes trainng regime and certainly one of the more confusing undertakings. The key to fitting in calories on a tight schedule is to have many small nutrient dense snacks that are high in calories spaced throughout the day. To determine the best amount of calories to consume, you need to get an idea of how many calories you burn. Below is a table with estimates on calories burned per hour per pound of body weight for various activities common in BJJ training. Considering the importance that Jiu Jitsu fighters place on maintaining weight for competition this is an area that fighters need to research heavily.  Keep in mind that each individual is unique and burns varying amounts based on age, metabolism, goals, time of day training, weight, training partners etc...etc... This is simply a guide to give you a general idea. 

Type of Activity	Calories burned per hour per pound of body weight
Aerobics	2.95
Basketball (shooting around)	2.75
Boxing (Bag Work)	2.72
Boxing  (Sparring)	4.07
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (light)	3.25
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Intense)	4.87
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (competition)	Close to 300-500 calories/hr in 5 mins Pace cannot be maintained for an entire hour
Calisthenics (push ups, sit ups etc)	2.43
Circuit training	3.63
Cycling ( med pace)	3.60
Jump rope (medium)	4.54
Jump rope (fast)	5.44
Kick Boxing	4.54
Rowing machine (light)	3.17
Running (fast mile)	8.17
Running (Jog)	4.54
Running Stairs	6.80
Stairmaster machine	4.08
Stretching (Yoga) light	1.81
Swimming (med pace)	3.90
Weight lifting (light)	1.36
Weight lifting (intense)	2.72
Wrestling (light practice)	3.98
Wrestling (competition)	Close to 300-500/hr calories in 5 mins Pace cannot be maintained for an entire hour

To determine your approximate calories burned, you need to multiply the number of calories burned per hour by your body weight. If you go to a typical BJJ class, you may undergo a training routine similar to this.

5 minutes of stretching 

10 minutes of calisthenics

15 minutes of techniques

30 minutes of rolling

At 175 pounds the following equations would work for me.

Take the Calories burned per hour per pound of body weight value. Multiply that by your body weight in pounds. Divide that by 60 minutes and you are left with how many calories you burn each minute at your given weight. Multiply that by the number of minutes you engage in that activity. That will give you your calories burned.

Stretching                         (1.81 x 175lbs) ÷ 60 mins x 5 mins = 26 calories for 5 minutes

Calisthenics                      (2.43 x 175lbs) ÷ 60 mins x 10 mins= 79 calories for 10 minutes

BJJ technique                  (3.25 x 175lbs) ÷ 60 mins x 15 mins= 142 calories for 15 minutes

Rolling                              (4.87 x 175lbs) ÷ 60 mins x 30 mins= 426 calories for 30 minutes

                                 

26 + 79 + 142 + 426 = 706 total calories

Add another ½ hour for training/sparring and that number is up to 1132 calories.

How much extra work done in a day varies based on lifestyle. But when you adjust this formula to meet the individual needs and goals of Jiu Jitsu students, there is a great variation among all levels of athlete concerning their diets and required caloric intake. You will obviously not burn as many calories if you are not working very hard and simply watching a class. Perhaps you are going really hard the entire time, doing lots of take downs and drills and will burn more calories. It is up to the coach and athlete to stay motivated and maintain a good workout effort and pace designed to meet the training goals for the best results in their practices to make progress in BJJ.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...It's all about the hips and grips...



            When coaching new BJJ practitioners, it's important for me as an instructor to make sure that at the start of their instruction, I convey some very important details about what will help them be successful in the short term as well as the long term training they undertake in the sport. Besides building a strong technical foundation of the fundamental positions in Jiu Jitsu, I stress the importance of the theory of hips and grips. When as a white belt, you find yourself in a bad position, you can survive against a more experienced opponent with the best grips and proper placement of your hips preventing them from advancing further against you and finishing the fight. When you become more advanced as a practitioner, you will be able to use your hips and grips to set up more complex techniques, sweeps and submissions against strong opponents who get tied up or put in a disadvantageous position due to leverage created from the placement of your hips.

             Some of the best fighters I have trained with have either, A.)remarkable hip movement…OR…B.)incredible grips (in terms of positioning or strength) or both. Being advanced in both areas of hips and grips is an advantage that you will have over almost every other jiu jitsu fighter you could face. If you want to improve your game tremendously in a very short period of time, all you need to do is work on those two areas.

     Experiment in the gym with trying different grips on the gi and see how it will stifle your opponent’s movement and frustrate them by preventing them from moving. It will also set up all types of sweeps, passes and submissions. With explosive, fluid hips, you will confuse your opponents and prevent them from being able to settle down into a comfortable position to try and advance or control you.  Below is a link to an article I wrote for BJJWEEKLY.COM on the Importance of Hips in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Hopefully it will help add some insight to help improve your game!

Goal setting in BJJ part 3.

Goal setting in BJJ part 3.

Attainable goals.

One of the harder aspects of the S.M.A.R.T. acronym is A which stands for ATTAINABLE. This is tough because not all fighters are created equal and there are some people that will have a harder time reaching certain goals than others. There may be some people that will not be able to achieve success in tournaments or perhaps will not be able to receive their black belts. This is a truth supported by the fact that most people in BJJ do not go on to receive their black belts or become world champions. If it was easy, every academy would have as many black belts as they do white belts! For whatever the reasons, they come up just short. Not that ONLY receiving a blue belt should be considered a failure; it’s actually a tremendous accomplishment and something to be extremely proud of. But if you start out with a desire to become a black belt, anything less is disappointing and being stuck at the same level for years will only remind you of where you are and where you wanted to be. Competition success can be equally as exasperating.  If you strive to win and you are a competitive individual, even 2^nd place will leave you unfulfilled. Having a realistic outlook on our physical abilities can be difficult for many to be able to do because it’s a form of self analysis that requires people to accept the fact that they may be good but not great. This can be a hard pill for lots of people to swallow. The truth is that we will always be able to improve our jiu jitsu, but we may not be able to achieve the loftiest goals we set when these goals are unrealistic. A good instructor will always be honest and should never tell a student that they can guarantee certain successes in their martial arts career. The only promise that can be made is that if the school is creditable and the instructor competent, that they will improve over time with hard work and dedication to the sport. Never set goals that will eventually result in failure as this may cause an irreversible decline in performance and participation. If someone begins to associate BJJ with failure and they develop a negative attitude, they can lose the passion that drives them. Any goals that are made should indeed be challenging, but something that can actually end up in success. I don’t want people to lose optimism and have lower expectations of themselves and set the bar too low. Quite the opposite. It’s just a fact that there is only ONE Jiu Jitsu world champion crowned in their respective weight divisions every year at each belt level which can lead to a lot of disappointed fighters whose goals may have been to take gold. Being able to medal at a tournament like the world championships is by no means a failure, but sometimes certain individuals will put so much effort to achieve certain success that anything less is a failure to them. This is a good attitude to take for the certain select few apex competitors of the sport, but the rest of us need to be more practical.

Not everybody can receive their black belt in 4 years! Setting a timeline for when you want to get promoted is partially out of your control, as it is the instructor’s decision ultimately and they may not agree with your timeline. Think in terms of realistic skill sets. As a white belt, shoot for blue in 2 and get there first. Take baby steps and surprise yourself when you achieve success sooner than expected. Start low and always adjust from there. If the ultimate goal an individual sets is to become World champion, then great. Begin with a small tournament and win that. Then you can move on to an IBJJF Open event and win that. Start off with realistic goals and only when you have conquered those should you adjust the expectations to meet your abilities. It’s a shame to set one’s self up to fail because you set an unattainable goal. As you set up the steps necessary to accomplish these goals, you will find that your attitude and skill sets will begin to grow and improve and the once seemingly unattainable is now within reach. As you improve, you will see that almost anything is possible with the right steps and people behind you, but most importantly is the drive and discipline required to reach that which you wish to possess.

Goal Setting in BJJ ...Part 1

Setting Goals in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu = The formula for success.

Sports psychology is an underrated and often ignored aspect of martial arts. The fact is that it is often one of the most important areas in determining a person’s potential for advancement and success in their chosen art. Whether you want to compete, train for fun or are serious about personal fitness goals, having a handle on the psychological aspects of learning a martial art can mean the difference between success and failure. The very first step in the process is to sit down and determine what your individual goals are. Goal setting is the process of thinking about what you want to accomplish and establishing realistic expectations of yourself. How well you establish your own personal goals and think about the best way to accomplish these goals will give you the formula for success.

            Creating a list of goals is not as simple as one thinks. There is an acronym used to help develop a list of goals that can be used. It is called the S.M.A.R.T. goal acronym. The first part in S.M.A.R.T. goal setting is SPECIFIC. Setting Specific goals is important because it will help narrow down WHAT a person wants and then helps them determine HOW they can accomplish such goals. Often people will set a goal like “I want to get in shape.” Or “I want to be a UFC fighter.” These goals are not nearly specific enough and will not allow any clear path to accomplish anything. Setting a goal that is more specific will allow the person a chance to actually reach goals in a timely an efficient manner. Rather than setting a general goal, break it into realistic and easily attainable accomplishments. A goal of “Getting better in BJJ” can be simplified into specific goals like I. Go to BJJ class 3x a week. II. Compete 3X this year. III. Attend 2 seminars this year. IV. Watch 2 BJJ instructional DVD’s. V. Get my Blue belt within a year and a half. All of these are specific, non generalized goals that can be accomplished and will eventually lead you to the ultimate goal of getting better in BJJ.
