marksmarkou is a jewel in the rough



A lot of quality info there. I have found that an equal amount of protein and carbs are great for martial artists. To get stronger, quicker, and obtain better stamina we need lots of carbs to supply us with the energy. With all the striking invloved with hitting pads, bags and each other along with crashing on the mat with throws and the constant pushing and pulling through grappling, protein should be up there with carbs as to repair our muscles and make them grow. Also strong bones are needed for martial artists as to withstand all that punishment so lots of milk. some people stay away from fats but they should be added, not to the extent of carbs and protein though as they help you keep flexible.
