The weight youve lost is weight that you probably want to lose. If its a concern, add lifting in to your schedule. There are also certain weight-lifting exersises that are better for fighting than others (ask your coach or one of us can probably link you to some youtube videos)
We'll have you ready for Holloway in no time.
Have you tried adding calories, protein, & creatine? A quality diet is most important but these should help you add weight. They are good starts. Do you have a nutritionist?
I eat very healthy, lots of healthy fats, protein, veggies, fruits and I even drink fish oil and green tea
If you are losing weight from heavy exercise creatine may be a good counter. It shouldn't hurt to buy one of the giant tubs and give it a try.I eat very healthy, lots of healthy fats, protein, veggies, fruits and I even drink fish oil and green tea
I'm not even hungry during the day I always eat whenever I feel like it but I keep losing weight
and no I don't have a nutritionist, that would probably cost and I'm broke af so I do my own research on diets and foods and stuff
I don't starve myself I eat good I just don't eat enough calories to keep the weight and I really don't feel like forcing myself to eat more, I hate being full lmao
maybe creatine would be good but is it worth it to buy that stuff??
Dont worry about the nutritionist haha, of youre healthy and dont have major concerns no reasson to spend the moneyI eat very healthy, lots of healthy fats, protein, veggies, fruits and I even drink fish oil and green tea

You don't need to make excuses for getting beaten. You sparred you took a beating it happens to everyone it's nothing new. That's the problem when you see sparring as something competitive you've now taken it as if you've lost something instead of thinking you've gained something which you have done you've seen your weaknesses and you can choose to act on them or not. It's your first time sparring you were never to beat everyone in the gym. Also I guarantee no one else is even thinking about the fact you got beat right now. Frankly people don't spend their Time thinking about how other guys did at sparring there's far more important things in life to worry about. I guarantee next class no ones even going to think twice about it including the sparring partner
We all think we're the centre of other people's thoughts. I'm guilty of it worrying about stuff like that other people are annoyed or upset over something you did when in fact they've not given it q single thought. At the end of the sparring is just sparring it's not a big deal it's just a training tool. No different to pad work. People like to big up sparring like its some super big thing that's so important....it's not sparring is there to learn skills, work your cardio and ring craft. It's not a fight it's not a match or a competition there are no winners or losers. The coach doesn't care who wins you don't get anything like a belt or grade etc for beating someone. You don't need to take sparring so seriously I never have I've never gone hard in sparring because it's pointless I've taken it easy in sparring sometimes not because of fear or anything but simply because I don't need to wreck someone and go 100% power just to make myself feel good for my own ego.

thanks brotherBro... WELL DONE. Seriously, that's awesome you had your first go at sparring. And yeah, it was your very FIRST time, I'm sure you did absolutely fine.
And yeah exactly what the other guys said, treat it just as a tool. I know you have a bit of competitiveness and that's fine, but I'd suggest trying to view sparring from a different viewpoint and simply as a tool to learn. The fact that the second guy 'beat' you didn't really mean he beat you, but he showed you just how good you can be down the track, and gave you an opportunity to see what you can learn and how to develop your sparring. Ain't about winning and losing
You aren't a loser, OR a b!tch. Sparring will bring up all sorts of thoughts and evaluating/judging yourself, but it's just coming from you. I'm sure you did much better than you give yourself credit for!
And as for that first fight, that deeeefinitely happens hehe, don't feel bad. In one of our fight nights awhile ago I accidentally kicked one of our instructors there two or three times in the one round, I felt so darn bad, especially cos it happened more than once!! It just happens and I'm much more careful and controlled now [emoji1787].
Well done, be proud of your efforts [emoji106]
