EP1: Lesson's Learned From Making Lightweight With Lucas Ballingall
Episode 1
Tuesday, 12 April, 2022
Professional super lightweight boxer & good friend, Lucas Ballingall kicks off season 2 of The Ringside Nutrition Podcast. This is an episode I have wanted to record for a while because of some of the insights I knew Lucas would happily share when it comes to making weight & coming back from set backs for professional boxers. Me & Lucas talk all about how he struggled to make weight for his English title fight at lightweight last year & how he learnt from his mistakes during the weight cutting process. Lucas also talks about the importance of nutrition, having a nutritionist in his corner & how he likes to adopt a flexible approach to dieting during training camps to keep his diet interesting & fun so he doesn't go insane! We also discuss mental health & how difficult it can be for a professional fighter to come back from defeats & stay motivated. This is a really insightful & raw listen & I would encourage any younger fighters to take note & listen to Lucas's reflections.
