I&#8217;m guessing around the 4,500 mark.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to get more calories is by adding some smoothies to your diet. Try this recipe:<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 tin of 50% coconut milk* (avoid cartons, they&#8217;re about 3% coconut milk, 97% water)<br \/>\n&#8211; Half an avocado<br \/>\n&#8211; 30g Hemp Seeds<br \/>\n&#8211; 5ml fish oil<br \/>\n&#8211; 10g Peanut Butter<br \/>\n&#8211; 1\/2 banana<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re blender and stomach can handle it &#8211; you&#8217;re looking at about 1200 calories per shake.<\/p>\n<p>GSP would have dropped his calories and his carbs and fluid intake leading into the fight &#8211; to ensure he could make weight. If you want mass &amp; definition though, you first should build mass with a tailored exercise programme and lots of food!<\/p>\n<h2>PowerLifting<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to build mass, you will need to focus on &#8216;compound movements&#8217; such as squats and deadlifts.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid isolation exercises such as tricep push downs.<\/p>\n<p>Compound movements are also better for MMA as they are more functional and create a &#8216;better&#8217; kinetic chain.<\/p>\n<p>Using the triceps in isolation, trains your nervous system to use the triceps in isolation &#8211; which is terrible for MMA. When you extend your arm, and use your triceps, you want your whole body to coordinate and help generate additional power &#8211; as with a punch.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Using the triceps in isolation, trains your nervous system to use the triceps in isolation &#8211; which is terrible for MMA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Compound movements like deadlifts represent a lifting movement, which will transfer to MMA and wrestling a lot more fluently.<\/p>\n<p>A word of warning about squats and deadlifts &#8211; they are amazing for building strength and mass, but they are also great for obtaining injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Get someone to check your technique and start off with reps a bit higher (5 or 6 reps for deadlifts, 10-12 for squats). If you can&#8217;t get someone to check your technique for you, film it and either ask a friend, a coach or assess your technique yourself by comparing it to a video of the correct technique.<\/p>\n<h3>The Deadlift<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-4qRntuXBSc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Squat<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dy28eq2PjcM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=9&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can take or leave bench press.
