Competitive Eating Training

Most of the spactacular growth in competitive eating has been happening in the United States and in Japan. I can understand how it would fit in the United States, but not really in Japan. It is what it is though.

The good news for competitive eating as a profitable market is that there are a lot markets to step into, one of which is Canada. For the most part you have practically the same type of people in Canada, so theoretically you’ll have the same kind of fan base.

It’s also adjacent to the United States, so it’s not like there is very far to travel to have a competition there. Competitors from both countries can easily travel to competitions on both sides of the border and compete quite easily.

I think within the next year you’re going to see a lot of the growth in competitive eating coming from Canadian market, and some of the European countries – rather than the traditional United States and Japan markets.

Well, I was pretty happy to see that a 61 year old man 14th World Pie Eating Contest.  Fred Wyatt was able to finish his pie in only 56.28 seconds knocking off the competition.

Now what interests me here is that a lot of the issues you’ll have with competitive eating will be mental. You’re going to have these mental barriers that are up and ready to crush you. I don’t think people really understand how statements like “you can’t do it”, “you’re too old”, “it’s impossible” are quite powerful. When you have these barriers you just don’t beat them. You don’t understand the profound effect over yourself until someone smashes through the barrier.

I think the most famous example was the 100 meter dash. Experts were saying that a runner getting under 10 seconds was just physically impossible. People believed this and therefore no one would ever get under the 10 second mark. Years went by with this barrier in the way. Than one year a guy broke. Guess how many other people broke the 10 second barrier within a year – well over 50 athletes.

Mental barriers are powerful and I hope this article shows you that it doesn’t matter how old you are, what shape your in, or whatever. Once you’re ready to eat, you can win.

A lot of people don’t know what to eat before an eating competition, so I thought it was important for me to address this with you. So what do you do when you get up in the morning and you know you’re going to be having a competition later in the day.

Well, in the morning your stomach is empty. You might feel the need to not eat because an empty stomach is a good thing – WRONG. You need glycogen reserves in your body for digesting and you don’t want to lose all your energy while you’re trying to chew down all that food.

You should start off with a meal high in carbs and low in everything else – especially fat. This way it is fast digesting, but you also get your glycogen reserves beefed up before you go to the competition.

Also right before the competition it might seem bad to eat something. Well having a little fast digesting carbs can really help. Something like a sports drink can be really beneficial to this process.

I hope this information helps you know how much you should be eating before a competition.

I just saw a man from Pennsylvania that ate a 15lb burger in only 4hrs 39 minutes. Brad Sciullo the only man to ever finish this massive burger. It is actually over 20lbs when you include the buns and other toppings on it.

This wasn’t exactly a competitive eating contest, but it does demonstrate that ordinary people that push themselves could be entering this great sport with some ease. That’s what it’s all about. You could start tomorrow and be the champ. Brad Sciullo maybe looking to get into the profession of competitive eating.

When asked what possessed him to eat a burger that big, Sciullo said: “I wanted to see if I could.”

The burger included a bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, mild banana peppers and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and relish, pub owner Dennis Liegey said.

For completing the challenge in the under-five-hour time limit, Sciullo won $400, three T-shirts, a certificate “and a burger hangover, as I call it,” Liegey said.

Patrick Bertoletti defeated former champ Joey Chestnut in a chicken wing contest. He was able to eat over 4lbs of chicken wings in 8 minutes flat. Think about that – Chicken wings don’t have a lot of meat on them, so that’s one pile of wings to eat.

This is what I like so much about competitive eating, anyone can win. The champions today are going to be beat by newbies next year. It just shows you that ANYONE can get into this sport and be dominant. It’s not like you have to build yourself up, you just get into it and beat the reigning champ.

I wish I could write a longer post, but I’m craving some chicken wings now, so I’m going to go get some.

It’s important to note that we are at the dawn of a new thing. Right now this is still extremely small. A few years ago this was nothing more than a side show at the carnival. Where will it be in a few years now? We can only guess.

The first competition on television was in 2002 on Fox. As well, the Discovery Channel did a documentary on some of the competitors and their eating. This was the first glimpse that people really saw of this.

Over the last few years there has been much more media attention. Both with Spike and ESPN – big networks with big audiences. From this point competitive eating will be reaching more and more households.

Another area for this competition to grow is in other countries. Right now the United States and Japan are the only countries that seem to be giving this attention, but this will soon change. Europe will eventually open up and this sport will grow to a monster size by then.

If you’re thinking about getting into this – now is the time. Growth will only make it harder for people to make their name in this sport. The good news is that growth will bring bigger prices and more money to the competitors.

I often get this question because if you look at the competitors you’ll notice a very strong contrast between people. You’ll look at one person and think they could eat anyone under the table and you’ll see another person that looks like they haven’t been getting enough to eat.

What has really surprised the competitive eating world is that skinny Asian contestants are very competitive and are winning. It’s surprising because you’d expect a big massive guy that eats all the time to do well.

The reality is that it comes down to physics…

You’re going to assume a big guy is a good competitive eater because they had to eat a lot to get to their state, but this isn’t a long term eating contest – it’s a short 10 minutes. This is where being skinny can play a huge role. When you have a lot of fat around your stomach area, it makes it hard for your stomach lining to expand. There’s just too much fat in the way and it’s not going to happen.

When you have this skinnier frame there isn’t anything block the expansion of the stomach and it just makes the whole process that much easier. It’s a simple thing, but the average person wouldn’t assume a skinny person could rule the competitive eating world.

I wanted to take the time to share with you a few tips for training for competitive eating. This is a new sport at its infancy. All the techniques that we are learning today might not be around tomorrow because we are just starting to learn how to be good at this sport. All the other sports out there have something in the past that was sort of similar, but this is the unique one. This is the one where no bodies enter the contests and blow away the competition. These tips for training for competitive eating are going to blow you away.

Breath

With all the eating that is going on, you might forget to breath. Believe me, it happens. You get so focused on what you’re doing that you just don’t breath and that causes problems. The problem isn’t that you’ll pass out because your brain will have you take in breaths automatically, but there is some more important reasons.

When you start lacking oxygen, you don’t think straight and you sort of panic. The cool and calm is what is going to help you win a competition and if you’re getting into a panic and not thinking straight, you’re more likely to screw up and lose. Always remember to breath.

Can You Meditate

This may seem like an odd point to bring up, but concentration is key to winning. You literally have to go into your own little world during the contest. Meditation is like a type of training that helps you focus on just one thing.

You’re going to be elbow to elbow with other contestants, a cheering crowd and whatever other distractions that may arise. Your focus has to be razor sharp on what you’re doing and if you can’t produce that focus – you will lose. This is why I always recommend that people learn meditation because it will teach you to focus and block out all the distractions.

Competitive food eating is quite a new sport and it is amazing to watch it. The reason I’m so interested in it is due to the fact that there is so little known about it. All the other sports out there have a million different training methods and strategies that have existed for along time, yet this is something new. All the training that is being followed has never been done before. And for this reason there isn’t any resources out there to help people.

Consistency, Consistency, Consistency

When you are in a competition, you need to pace yourself. This is something that you can take from long distance runners. What long distance runners do is set a pace they can maintain for the entire length of the race. You’ll notice that the racers that jump out to an early lead will often fade latter in the race and the reason is that they can’t remain consistent with the pace.

When you’re eating, during the contest, you need to keep consistent. You need to follow a pace that you can follow until the end. If you go super fast at first, you’re more likely to fade later and the consistent competitor will pace past you.

Practice Makes Perfect

You have to practice to learn how to do it right. Most of us know how to eat a hot dog, but most of us don’t know how to eat a hot dog is the fastest and most efficient manner. There isn’t a textbook out there to teach you how to eat a hot dog efficiently. You just have to cook up a bunch of hot dogs, put them in your mouth and see what happens. Practice, Practice and Practice some more.

These are some of my competitive food eating tips that you might find useful. I hope to have some more in the future for you, that might help you out.

I wanted to share with you some of the competitive eating records out there. I think this can really act as a motivational tool to help push you past your limits. It may also act as a wakeup call, so you’ll start to really improve on your training. These numbers are real and they should be motivating you to succeed!
