The story of my trip around the world to train, teach and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other grappling arts.


Weight gain mission failed :-/

So my plan was to gain some weight before the trip, but with all the training I have been doing (up until I hurt my knee at least), it has been almost impossible for me to put on weight. In the summer, I was up at around 83-84, which I wanted to get back to before the trip, but I am still at 78, so not much has happened. I guess I should have eaten even more food :) I feel kind of comfortable around this weight though, the only problem is that I know I will lose weight when I travel (I always do), and I wanna keep a bit padding for all that hard training.

It is not long ago when I was up at 90, but my body somehow just rejects muscle mass if I don’t eat and train like crazy ALL the time, so it was too much work to stay there.

Side effect of this is, that I can’t really fit much of my clothes anymore. In fact, I didn’t own a single pair of pants that fitted me around the waist. So I had to get a new pair of jeans for the trip and found some the other day. Gone down from size 36 to size 33 it looks like.
