Creatine monohydrate 5 g/day Year-round, any time Repeat-effort capacity (rounds, pad work, clinch), recovery between sessions. Drop only in the final 7–10 days before a weigh-in.

BCAAs 5–10 g Intra-session, especially double-session days Useful around long or back-to-back training.

Foundations

  1. Hydration is non-negotiable. Drinking only water in this heat flushes sodium. Electrolytes are your insurance.
  2. Eat carbs around training. Glycogen drives round performance.
  3. Sleep over everything. Most overtraining is undersleeping. 8 hours minimum on heavy days.
  4. Deload every 6–8 weeks.
