Strength and fuel for the mat.
Andrew Youck, MS, RD10th Planet purple belt, 7 yearsRegistered dietitianPerformance coach at Lift STL, Brentwood
Get stronger for the mat, make weight without wrecking yourself, and keep the job and the life you have outside the gym.
Your lifting and your eating are built around your mat schedule by one coach: a registered dietitian who grapples too.

Sound like your training?
You gas out late in rounds.
Have gas left when it matters. Your fuel gets timed around work and class, so you're not rolling on whatever you grabbed on the way in.
You lift without a plan.
Get stronger without living in the gym, and show up fresh for open mat instead of sore from random workouts that don't add up.
Your joints are beat up.
Press and squat again without guessing. Your program works around what the mat has done to your shoulders and knees.
You make weight the hard way.
Make weight with a plan that starts weeks out, and compete with something in the tank instead of flat from a week-of crash.
What your training looks like.
Strong, not fancy. No imitation grappling in the weight room: simple lifts you can load heavier every month, two sessions a week, and one or two short conditioning days that you feel in your rounds. When adding weight stalls, you add a rep, so the gains don't grind you down for class. Your coach lifts twice a week around his own grappling. Seven years on the mats wrecked his shoulders for pressing; eight months of patient work got it back, and your program is built the same way.
“Trust me you will be hard to handle if you can squat heavy, hinge heavy, press heavy, and pull heavy.”

What your plate looks like.
Your protein stays the same every day. Your carbs move with the work: more on hard training days, less on easy ones, so you're fueled when it counts and not overeating when it doesn't. It's the US Olympic Committee's Athlete's Plate, as Andrew teaches it, and your coaching sets your exact plate. One thing he watches for: training hard on too little food, which has a name, RED-S. Tired most of the time, slow recovery with no strength progress, getting sick often.
How it works.
Start with a free 15-minute call about your sport, your schedule and your next competition. Then a 90-minute consultation, where you walk out knowing what to eat, how much, and why, with a couple of goals to start this week. Coaching after that is two sessions a month, InBody check-ins between them, and your plan adjusted as your training and your competition calendar change.

Questions?
Can he help me make weight?
Yes, with time. Give your weight class and your next tournament date on the call, and the plan works back from there.
Will lifting make me tired for class?
No. Simple heavy lifts, progress you can recover from, and nothing that leaves you sore for class.
Do you take insurance?
No. Coaching at Lift is self-pay, and the prices above are what you pay. HSA and FSA cards work. Insurance can get you a dietitian by video for less; it won't get you one on the floor where you train.
