Inside Reinier de Ridder's Daily Performance Routine
Rebuilding my edge : After 5 fights in 11 months, my body had enough.
By Reinier de Ridder
Before the UFC rankings, before the world titles in ONE Championship, before fighting in front of millions — Reinier de Ridder was a six-year-old kid in Breda, the Netherlands, who walked into a judo dojo and never left.
He went on to earn black belts in both judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He built a 16-fight winning streak across ONE Championship, became a simultaneous two-division world champion — middleweight and light heavyweight — and earned a reputation as one of the most technically complete fighters in the world. 21 wins, 13 by submission. They call him "The Dutch Knight" for a reason.
But after five fights in eleven months, his body had had enough. The Brendan Allen fight was the breaking point. He knew something was off. He got his blood work done — and the numbers proved him right.
"Five Fights in Eleven Months Nearly Broke Me"
In 2024 and 2025, I did something most fighters wouldn't attempt: five fights in eleven months. Kevin Holland. Gerald Meerschaert. Bo Nickal. Robert Whittaker. Brendan Allen. Back to back to back. No extended breaks. No off-season.
The first four went well. Four straight wins. A Performance of the Night bonus. Moving up the UFC rankings faster than anyone expected. From the outside, everything was on track.
But your body keeps score, even when your mind doesn't.
After the Brendan Allen fight, I knew I couldn't ignore it anymore. Recovery was slower. Energy wasn't holding up. I was doing everything the same — same training, same food, same sleep, but my body wasn't responding like before. Something had shifted.
I got my blood work done. The results were clear: my testosterone levels were low. Not dramatically. Not dangerously. But low enough to explain what I'd been feeling. And for a professional fighter in his mid-30s who had just put his body through five camps in under a year, it made sense.
That was my wake-up call.
After the Brendan Allen fight, I got my blood work done for the first time in a while. Not because I felt terrible — but because things felt... off. My recovery was slower. My energy wasn't what it used to be. I was training the same, eating the same, sleeping the same. But something had shifted.

Most Supplements Are Built for Everyone.
T1 Is Built for Men.
Walk into any supplement store and you’ll see the same pattern: massive ingredient lists, dozens of buzzwords, and formulas designed to “support everything.” Gut health, greens, antioxidants, adaptogens, superfoods, cognitive blends — all combined into one product that promises total wellness.
It sounds impressive. But when a formula tries to do everything for everyone, it often loses focus on what actually drives male performance.
Because male performance isn’t built on 90 scattered ingredients. It’s built on a few core systems: hormonal balance, energy metabolism, muscle function, recovery, and stress resilience. Those systems determine whether your energy holds up throughout the day, whether your training progresses, and whether you recover properly between sessions.
T1 was built around strengthening those foundations. Not trends. Not hype. Not “wellness for everyone.” Just the systems that matter most for men.
That’s the difference.
Certified. Transparent. Built to Perform.
Built for Men who demand real standards, not marketing shortcuts.

What Changed for Me
I'm not going to tell you T1 transformed me overnight. It didn't. And if a supplement promises you that, it's lying.
After the blood work came back, I took a hard look at everything. Training structure, nutrition, sleep, recovery protocols — I tightened up across the board. T1 was part of that picture — not the whole picture. But an important part.
What happened was gradual. And that's exactly what I'd expect from better habits combined with properly dosed vitamins and minerals building up over weeks.
After about two weeks, the afternoon energy crashes stopped. I didn't notice them disappear, I noticed they were gone. By week four, recovery between sessions was noticeably better. Less morning stiffness. More consistency. I was showing up to training feeling ready, not still recovering from the last session.
The drive came back. Not just in the gym, everywhere. With my kids, with my work, with the daily stuff that used to feel like a drain. I felt like myself again. Not a better version. Just the version I was supposed to be.
My blood work confirmed it: the numbers that had been low were moving back in the right direction. Not from TRT. Not from hormones. From training smarter, eating better, and finally giving my body the raw materials it had been missing.
That's the thing people get wrong about supplements. They're not a shortcut. They're not a replacement for the work. They're what fills the gap between a good lifestyle and your body actually having what it needs to perform. And for me — that gap was bigger than I thought.
