I would advise on getting as pure protein as possible and doing your own research so you know how to take protein properly and understand how to pair it with exercise effectively. A protein shake alone will not make you stronger. It needs to be consumed alongside a balanced diet and effective exercise.

It can be, however it can also be detrimental. Regular gym, or any exercise is key to developing the body for judo. However, each person must become in-tune with their own body and figure out the correct balance between judo training, gym and rest so they do not become 'over-trained', become exhausted and unable to practice efficiently. Many people forget the importance of rest, rest is one of the key puzzle pieces to any effective training regime as it allows the body to recover, re-build muscle and re-charge itself for the next session. Begin going to the gym 3 times a week to begin with, then move up to 4 and so on. Experiment to figure out what works best for you and your body. Every person has a different genetic makeup and will therefore respond to training loads differently. This is why I tell my students not to spend too long on instagram looking at guys who train 3x a day, 7x a week. Every person will respond to that load differently, and whilst some people will be able to train that frequently, others may not. We also have to take into account our jobs and personal life. Everything is balance. However, always remember, quality always comes over quantity. I would rather somebody did 10 good press ups than 20 bad ones.
