00:01.532 --> 00:04.115
(upbeat music)

00:06.530 --> 00:09.090
- So at West point we have a
couple courses that we take,

00:09.090 --> 00:10.350
there's one we take our sophomore year

00:10.350 --> 00:13.266
and one we take our senior
year and within those courses

00:13.266 --> 00:16.980
they go through the breakdown
of how much fats, carbs

00:16.980 --> 00:19.550
and protein you should have
in your diet percentage-wise

00:19.550 --> 00:22.310
based on the level of activity
that you're participating in

00:22.310 --> 00:24.260
and give them that
groundwork of knowledge.

00:24.260 --> 00:26.200
And then also what I
learned from manipulating

00:26.200 --> 00:27.550
my way as a wrestler.

00:27.550 --> 00:30.560
I'm able to pretty well adjust on the fly,

00:30.560 --> 00:34.300
how much of each macro
nutrient I need to consume

00:34.300 --> 00:36.943
based off on where I'm at in
a particular training cycle.

00:37.948 --> 00:41.530
So for team competitions,
since I'm not a big athlete

00:41.530 --> 00:43.980
for crossfit team [mumbles] competition,

00:43.980 --> 00:45.481
about normal size for individual,

00:45.481 --> 00:47.460
but maybe a little
small for the team side.

00:47.460 --> 00:49.160
I normally find myself
dropping a few pounds,

00:49.160 --> 00:50.670
so that way I can be a little bit better

00:50.670 --> 00:52.190
in the gymnastics realms.

00:52.190 --> 00:53.830
Because I'm normally the
smallest guy on my team

00:53.830 --> 00:57.197
I'm expected to complete the
biggest sets of gymnastics

00:57.197 --> 00:59.500
pieces that we're faced with.

00:59.500 --> 01:02.200
But for individual competitions I will try

01:02.200 --> 01:05.110
and drop weight during the
summers where I need to work

01:05.110 --> 01:08.590
a little bit more on
maintaining the ability to move

01:08.590 --> 01:10.030
during times of high heat

01:10.030 --> 01:12.140
and there's a certain weight
I like to be at during

01:12.140 --> 01:14.480
the winters that I feel like
I operate a little better at.

01:14.480 --> 01:17.080
So I say it changes by the
season and then based on

01:17.080 --> 01:19.080
the type of event that I'm competing in.
