Cung Le Interviewed by AskMen.com

Want to kick like Cung? Here’s an interview for a fitness column on AskMen.com.

Do you take an opponents weight into consideration when training for an upcoming fight?

No, when I weight lift and when I do my conditioning, its strictly for muscle conditioning. When I wrestle is when I lift another person the same weight as myself, a little bit heavier or a little bit lighter, depending on my partner, to get that feel of picking up someone who weighs the same as me.

Grappling Nutrition

Looks like the YouSendIt link expired (probably a long-ass time ago) so here it is again by request:

Grapplers Guide to Nutrition

grapplers-guide.pdf (770K PDF)

Link removed per owner request

Again, it’s a pretty solid looking nutrition regimen designed for grapplers. Since reading it, I’ve adjusted my diet to it and I’ve seen some pretty good results! I’ve lost a bit of fat and increased muscle mass considerably. It’s also helped my muscle endurance, and has improved my game a bit.

Grappling Nutrition

Found a really good link posted on Sherdog about the optimal diet and nutrition for grapplers. I figured it was probably just someone from their organization thumping for business, but I took a look at the linked e-book and it turned out to be quite educational. The theories all sound like they hold water, and none of it sounds gimmicky.

It also looks like that the dude on Sherdog who posted this is distributing that PDF illegally, so go download it now before it gets pulled down you cheap bastards!
