So, the topic of the ‘Craig Jones drug stack’ came up the other day. You hear these things bouncing around, especially in grappling circles, right? People get curious, I get it. I’m always tinkering, trying to see what gives an edge, or at least what folks think gives an edge.
Naturally, I did a bit of digging myself. Not like, scientific research, you understand. More like poking around forums, listening to the chatter online and at the gym. It’s a real rabbit hole. You see lists, you see speculation, you see guys arguing back and forth. Honestly, most of it sounds like guesswork mixed with wishful thinking.
It’s wild what people will latch onto. Everyone’s looking for that magic bullet, that secret sauce. You see it everywhere, not just in BJJ. Remember those crazy diets? Or those ‘brain boosting’ pills everyone was talking about a few years back?
My Own Takeaway from Similar Buzz
It kinda reminds me of when I was trying to build my first decent computer rig back in the day. I spent weeks on forums. Everyone had an opinion:
- “You absolutely NEED this specific graphics card!”
- “Don’t waste money on that processor, get this cheaper one and overclock it!”
- “Your power supply is gonna explode if you don’t get the 1000-watt platinum!”
It was overwhelming. So much noise. Everyone claiming their ‘stack’ of components was the ultimate setup. I ended up just getting decent, solid parts based on common sense and what I could actually afford. And you know what? It worked great. Ran everything I needed it to.
My point is, there’s always gonna be talk about shortcuts and secret formulas. Whether it’s building a PC, getting strong, or rolling better. I found that just showing up consistently, putting in the work, eating reasonably well, and getting enough sleep… that’s the real ‘stack’. It ain’t glamorous, it ain’t secret, but damn if it doesn’t work over the long haul.
All that other stuff? Mostly noise, far as I can tell from my own time trying things and watching others. Focus on the basics. That’s been my practical experience, anyway.
