Yea I also think it is a good decision. Ive been rolling with the bigger more skilled buy 200lbs+ to get myself mentally ready.
again for entertainment purposes, I wanted to put some pics of when I was my heaviest, pre cycle and mid cycle.
In this pic I was about 190-195. I didn't really realize how big and chubby I was, as I did not have any other pics to compare against. I also wasnt really training as hard in my jiu jitsu. All I know my shorts/pants/clothes was really tight, lol.
This picture is about 6-8 weeks ago. I was about 165lbs and felt pretty good. Alls I was doing was eating clean, cardio, surfing and grappling. I wasnt really into lifting weights during this period, instead, I was doing alot of body weight excercises. This picture was actually taken right after a work out, so I appear to be bigger than I was at the time. gotta get the pump in before a picture session right? hahaha. Bodyfat wise, Im not sure as I didn't really have any accurate ways to measure. I would assume 15-17% bf?
This is a current pic as of this morning. Im about 175-177lbs. I feel really good. Strength is good, cardio and endurance is good, and Im not starving myself. Hard to tell in the lighting, but I am noticeable leaner, just the pics doesn't capture it. Difference beteween now and 6 weeks ago, is that I can see striations in my shoulders and chest. To me, that is a decent sign of fat loss. It also seems I was able to keep or build a lil bit of muscle also. I was able to come to this conclusion by prior measurements taken of my arms, legs, waist and chest.
For the nest couple of weeks my diet is going to be getting cleaner and cleaner and weight lifting will be less. This is to help with loosening up and bringing the weight down. It will also give me more mat and sparring time to drill and keep the timing sharp with my technique. I don't feel like Im bloated or carrying alot of water at this point.....what do you guys think? Also picture is upon waking up, no lifting in the past 2 days. Usually the next morning after a lift day I look alot more full.

Thanks brother Zed. I started to cut down from this past monday. I was walking at around 180-182lbs and I need to make 169 by next week friday. The diet has been cleaned up drastically. The only problem now, is that I have less energy and practices are grueling. Luckily this is the last week of hell practice. Next week is all about drilling and going light so that the body can recover and be as close to 100% come tournament time. This saturday/sunday will also be my last lifts in the gym. Gonna do a full body, light weight lots of reps.
Right now Im at about 176ish and starting to lean out decently or maybe its the water weight dropping even though Im drinking about 2 gallons of fluid a day. Dont mind me for posting another pic, but I figure why not. A couple of my friends and I was arguing about how much body fat I am at now. We don't really have an accurate way of testing, but by looks, I would assume around 12%
