Sticking to Strict High-Altitude Diets with Jessie Vargas

Ойын-сауық

In this episode of FUEL, we follow undefeated professional boxer Jessie Vargas as he prepares for a career-defining fight against Timothy Bradley, Jr.
The goal? Not a pound over 147. We traveled to beautiful Mount Charleston, Nevada to join Jessie’s high-altitude boot camp in preparation for his interim WBO welterweight title fight. Guided by boxing legend Érik Morales and nutritionist Cicilio Flores, Jessie endures long runs, calorie-counting, and closed-door sparring rounds in his pursuit of boxing history.

And as a journalist, telling them to speak their native tongue because they struggle with English is just rude. I've interviewed all sorts, trust. Having said that, subtitles for his English would have been nice, because I understood like every third word he said.

Vargas lost, but I thought he won. He even knocked the other guy down, and the ref called it off only to let it continue for some bizarre reason. I felt horrible for Jessie, he deserved to win that fight.

    Jessie needs updated training advice. The science is in regarding altitude training as it's not as beneficial as training at sea level. At altitude, you can't push yourself as hard so an element of detraining is introduced to your body. What does help is sleeping at altitude to get the physiological benefits, while still training at sea level.

    There are many research that showed that bulking up and then cutting down is far better than maintaining a consistent weight. The premise is that when you bulk up and you gain strength, you end up retaining much of your strength as well as when gain back the weight. If you maintain a consistent weight, you don't gain that max strength. Research on cheating and several athlete admitted a loop-hoop... they take steroids, bulk and pump up... after a year with no drugs, they retain much of their strength, and when tested for drugs they are clean. The various types of muscles have been enhanced to its fullest potential and no drugs are present. Whether thy take drugs, plenty of research points that it is still best to bulk up and then cut down to maximize performance. I've never seen Vargas bulked up.... if you see several of hall of fame boxers during training, their pretty bulked up and then will lose their weight... during fight night the fighter looks puny, but deceptively very strong. Just like rock climbers, looks very skinny, but when measured the pressure force and strength of each muscle group are deceptively powerful. I've seen guys benching 100kg looking like a stick.

    Blitz Kaiser Have you any in depth research into his policies? Or are you making a judgement based how the stuff in the media makes you feel about him?

    +Your Mum The media makes so much shit up about Trump. And people just believes it instead of doing their own research. Trump is the only candidate that's funding his own campaign. That means no special interest groups telling him what to do if he becomes president. Just remember that if you vote for any other candidate check who they get their money from. Because that's who their going to listen to if they become president.
