BJ Penn Discusses Training and Diet
BJ talked about his routine and dietin Black Belt Magazine. I skimmed through it at Walgreens, here's what he said:
-For training he says he's done it all, he's done 6 hours a day (which is what burned him out for GSP supposedly), he's also done 100% for one hour a day every other day. Now he trains in the gym at 6am for like 3 hours and then sleeps all day and returns for the gym at night for one hour.
-For conditioning he talks about keeping your heart rate above 75% by doing this like running up hills, biking, ect... Lots of emphasis on running sprints. He mentioned plyometrics and nothing else really for strenght.
-He says he stretches for 30-minutes before going to bed. Doesn't stretch before he trains, just warms up and sometimes stretches after training if he's not too tired.
-He eats only organic foods, no processed. He drinks a shake in the morning, works out and then eats an orange to bring his insuline back up. Another meal would be brown rice with egg whites or chicken breasts with vegtables.
-When it comes to losing weight and cutting for a fight he said everyone knows if you cut carbs and fat "you'll be looking good in no time". Also stop eating sodium because it makes your body store water. He drinks a lot of water.
