New to the forum. From Miami. Go Heat. Yadda yadda yadda.I get the impression that CBL is geared towards the powerlifting/bodybuilding crowd, which is cool. But I'm wondering if this sort of eating style/schedule would benefit someone who competes in jiu jitsu? Long story short: Train jiu jitsu 3-4 x a week, along with 3 other separate S&C sessions so 6 out of 7 days of the week is filled with a lot of activity. I've always been about the "jiu jitsu lifestyle" , which is basically take care of your body and never, EVER eat shit. But I'm curious if CBL would have some beneficial possibilities with the amount of carbs being taken in for recovery, muscle sparing, all that jazz.Basically, how does one (yall) think this diet works with individuals who are more concerned with performance rather than appearance? I'll hang up and listen.Edit: Furthermore, I cannot imagine trying to cut weight and being able to eat all those carbs. Brain does not compute.
Damn heat, The Thunder gave that to them…Anyway, welcome to the forum!I'm a little unsure about how it will help martial arts training.You will likely have better recovery, and be able to gain more strength, but outside of that I'm not as sure.Keifer is posting around here more and we are getting a lot more info now so hanging around the forums you might find some good info.Also, check out zewskis log, he does muay thai and goes between CNS and CBL.
I think you will notice improved recovery from CBL and you'll probably get stronger, too. If you need to lose weight for a fight or because you are getting a bit slow/bulky, just switch to CNS or wait a couple days between back-loads. It's quite easy to adapt it to your needs, really. Just decide what your priorities are and don't be one of those guys who half-ass the back-loads, and you'll be mint.

I've never heard this before. If the junk food doesn't negatively affect you, I think you would still be taking care of yourself.

Oh yea because I forgot Powerlifters and Bodybuilders aren't athletes. Haha just kidding I knew what you meant. Anyways, CBL relies on translocation of GLUT4 and GLUT12. According to the current knowledge, the only exercise that does this to the degree required, is strength and hypertrophy training. So unless you are doing these types of workouts, you won't be able to use CBL as written. Kiefer does train martial artists, but he hasn't released a one size fits all protocol yet.
