Deep dives
Weed and Sleep/Recovery
Smoking weed can affect REM sleep, which is important for overall recovery. It has been suggested that smoking weed within 12 hours of sleep can block REM sleep, negatively impacting recovery. Additionally, long-term smokers may experience cannabinoid hyperemesis, where smoking weed becomes necessary before eating, potentially leading to unhealthy patterns of dependence.
Effects of Smoking Weed on Appetite
While some people experience increased appetite when smoking weed, others may find that it actually reduces their appetite. There is a phenomenon known as cannabinoid hyperemesis, where long-term smokers may develop nausea and decreased appetite if they do not smoke before eating. However, individual experiences may vary.
Weed and Cavity Prevention
There is conflicting information regarding the effects of weed on cavity prevention. Some dentists claim that cavities cannot be healed on their own and require professional intervention, while others suggest that maintaining a healthy diet and allowing saliva to naturally repair teeth can prevent and even reverse cavities. It is important to consult with a dentist and maintain good oral hygiene practices.
The Importance of Training Intensity
The podcast hosts discuss the importance of training intensity in jiu-jitsu. They emphasize the need to push yourself to the limit during training sessions in order to improve cardio and develop resilience. Redlining and going all out during practice is seen as a way to build stamina and mental toughness, allowing for better performance in competitions. While some suggest balancing intensity with technical training, others argue that high-intensity training alone is sufficient to improve cardio and overall performance.
The Role of Strength and Conditioning
The hosts briefly touch upon strength and conditioning workouts for jiu-jitsu. They highlight the benefits of having a strong base, which can be achieved through powerlifting or bodybuilding exercises. Building strength through exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses is seen as essential for jiu-jitsu practitioners. However, they note the importance of also maintaining cardiovascular endurance through additional workouts, such as rovers or skiing machines. The discussion concludes by emphasizing that strength and conditioning training should complement technical and high-intensity jiu-jitsu practice for optimal performance.
