The Competition Camp Program

The 8-week fight-camp protocol — the year-round base, the camp-load layer that absorbs double sessions, and the peak-week discipline that gets you to the mats whole.

A competition camp is a controlled demolition: volume goes up, intensity goes up, sleep gets harder, the gym plague circulates, and everything needs to peak on one specific Saturday. This program is the Jiu-Jitsu Athlete Program put on a calendar — same compounds, phased across an 8-week camp so the supply, the loading, and the taper all point at competition day.

One rule before anything: if your division tests, read If You Compete first. Several compounds here are prohibited in tested sport at all times — most hobbyist divisions are never tested, but that's a decision you make with open eyes, not by accident.

Weeks 1–8 — The Base (runs the whole camp)

• BPC-157 + TB-500 (blend) — 500 mcg daily. The repair floor under the entire camp.
• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (blend) — 200 mcg pre-bed, fasted. The overnight rebuild pulse — the compound doing the actual adaptation work between double sessions.
• NAD+ — 100 mg daily. Camp is an energy debt; this is the floor that keeps training quality from cratering in week 5.

Weeks 3–8 — The Camp Load (add as volume peaks)

• MOTS-c — 2.5 mg, 3× weekly. The gas tank for the hardest block: endurance, insulin sensitivity, metabolic flexibility for long rounds when the pace is stupid.
• Thymosin Alpha-1 — 1.6 mg, 2× weekly. The gym plague always peaks two weeks before the tournament. This is the immune insurance layer, started before the risk window, not after the sniffle.
• KPV — 400 mcg daily. The gut leg — training stress, NSAIDs, and the last weeks of weight management are exactly its lane.

All camp — The Sharp Edge

• DSIP — 200 mcg pre-bed. Camp anxiety eats sleep exactly when you need it most; this defends the deep-sleep window every other compound depends on.
• Semax — 300 mcg mornings. Drilling retention, film study, and staying composed when the room gets tense.

Fight week — the discipline part

Nothing new in fight week. No new compounds, no dose changes, nothing you haven't run for weeks — fight week is for what's already proven boring. Taper volume, protect sleep, and if you're managing weight, do it with the Weight-Cut Support Protocol's rules — slow, early, hydrated.

The full program at a glance

Order everything before week 1 — a camp cannot absorb a shipping delay in week 6. The Supply Builder sizes the whole 8-week camp in one order. (It sizes every compound for the full duration, so the weeks-3–8 compounds carry spare capacity — that spare rolls straight into your post-camp recovery block rather than going to waste.)

For the women in the bracket

Everything above runs identically — same doses at Standard tier, same phasing. The one addition: if the camp includes deliberate weight management, the Women & Peptides guide covers the places where women's physiology changes the picture.

Research protocols, not a prescription — talk to a physician before touching anything, and read If You Compete if your division tests.
