In this episode of The Ringside Nutrition Podcast I am joined by fellow performance nutritionist Danny Lennon to discuss the concept of the 52 week fight camp. Gone are the days of fighters just training & paying attention to their nutrition during an 8 week training camp. Fighters are now benefiting from staying close to their fight weight & maintaining a good level of nutrition outside in-between fights. This is particularly topical now during Covid-19, where fight opportunities are cropping up with short notice periods.

In this episode we discuss: The benefits of following a nutrition plan/structure outside of camp, why putting on large amounts of weight outside of camp can increase the severity of acute weight cuts, why calorie deficits perhaps should be avoided after fights, what tools fighters can use to manage their nutrition outside of camp & how us as nutritionists can make ourselves for readily available for fighters to work with should they need advice on how to structure their nutrition between camps.

If you are a fighter & you want to know what you could be doing with your nutrition outside of camp to stay fight ready & be more prepared than your next opponent, then this episode is for you!
