Easy fix is just do the 1arm variation when you're fresh then do the barbell version after for strength. Love the reasoning though! Great stuff

Hell, I'd prefer to skate on by the registration computer at Academy just to get more experience without having to be thrown up to the next level. lol

He listed my entire workout. Sunday trap bar, floor bench press, squats and calves. Weds weighted pull ups, one arm bench press, squat, Friday z squats, overhead press, arms and triceps

Do u ever use a thumbless grip for pull ups?

Day 4 is done. I don't do jujutsu, I just want to become more flexible and this is great

Hi Kieran is the Beyond Juijitsu podcast canceled?😢 it used to be my favorite thing to listen to on the way to work

I remember

I just rennet everyone is nervous on that whole entire mat

Just got my first stripe, approx 6 months and 70ish classes in

Can’t avoid it takes one guy that is a asshole for one and many people squeeze on subs they shouldn’t and hurt people every top guy tore they knees we not rich our jobs not gonna be likw oh great you were doing bjj nd tore your knees take all the time we gonna pay your bills while you heal😂

What do you think of the kettlebell swing?

i’ve done over 60 BJJ classes in 5 months and still haven’t gotten a strip

I'd go dips or bench for chest, chinups+pendlay rows for back, zercher squat+RDL or trap bar DL for legs, upright row or Dumbell Z-press for shoulders.

I will try both approaches: I just had a blue belt in an arm bar and I ended up tapping to a calf cramp 😅

you didn't quite explain why they're great for grappling and why they carry over.. only the muscle development aspects of it..

Two months here. I think it was out of pity. The second came at aix months, the third at 16 months

What do you mean by "owned by that instructor" once given a blue belt? Does that mean if i move away or change gyms I'd have to start over or prove my belt?

✅

Pleased to say I do these exercises. Could you recommend a good rep range? I do ohp twice a week 1-4 reps 5 sets heavy one day and then 6-10 reps lighter for 3 sets on the other day. Is it better to go just heavy? Many thanks

What do you think of isometric every day like iso hold pull up every day 2 sets 20 sec

Great vid. Can I ask why you prefer the overhand pull-up over the chin up?

Can you do a bodyweight/calisthenics version?

Who give her brown belt? We need to check at this moment- islam mackhachev

I got mine the other day. 3 weeks in, 6 days a week sometimes 8

It depends on your instructor. My coach made me work my backside off for my first stripe. But, he knew I could hack it. Some people need that extra reassurance earlier, even if they may haven’t progressed as much as they could have or should have.

My coach said I was the second fastest to get a stripe!

I don't see anything wrong with being generous with that first White Belt stripe. If the person has showed up for a few months, become part of the academy, and is showing genuine interest.. it's one stripe. Out of what, twenty steps of progression before black? We talk so much about the mental game and dedication to training and the culture of BJJ... somebody who demonstrates up front that they are about the life and eager to learn and train and assimilates into the culture has, in my mind, earned that stripe as an acknowledgement that they are now really part of the family, no longer a newb outsider.

Instead of wrist curls, would a wrist roller be a decent alternative?

It’s working for me so far. But you have to have your diet right.

Im Training over 1 year, i also drill the techniques from the classes. I destroy also with my 70kg the 100kg+ guys and almost won gold in my first Nogi tournament but still dont get my first stripe from my coach… and others in the comments get there first stripe after 2 Months…. I dont get it

Hey Kieren, love your content. Could you tell me how old you are, and how long you’ve been doing bjj for? I’m 28 this year, started training 3 months ago. I know it’s too early to say this, but I feel like I want to get really good at it and start a gym for myself. I’m a fit guy, but sometimes I feel like I’m in the sport a bit late to later transition into making this a career. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks man.

Got my fist strip after 11 months, I didnt feel ready but i want to show my professor respect by working harder.

So with 3 times a week I will be fine?

I have the worst cardio in the world and it starts to frustrate me while rolling because I ebd up tapping due to gassing out. I will try this program but hard to squeeze with my 2/3 bjj class and 2 weights/strenght sessions 😤

I have a Scramble grip trainer that I have attached to a band off of my pull up bar that can be adjusted to just a tad higher than shoulder height. I do rotational "chops" with various grips like pistol, spider sleeve and collar. I swear my mid section after incorporating this into my existing program is getting carved af and strong. The best thing about this exercise is the farther I'm away from the bar, the more resistance. So I can essentially work on grip strength, rotationals and endurance with this little peice of kit. I love it so much I bought a couple more to give away as gifts. Cheers!🍻🤙

Listening, but you didn't even give any reasons to back your claims.

I will say it changed my trajectory with an illness where I could not physically regulate my sleep, appetite or energy for over 3 years. It corrected these things in 4 days of black belt application. I have 3 people in my life who have had the same results rapidly. One was diabetic, one had cancer so they wanted an alkaline diet and the other had IBS. All 3 are having success. With this motivation, I find this diet is easy to apply once conditioned and knowledgeable of the combinations. Timing comes rapidly as well. It wasn't my purpose, however I consistently lost 2 pounds weekly as well.

Awesome! Thank you!

It all boils down to what you want to focus on in jiu jitsu and how much time you're willing to put into it. Nothing is a waste of time.

For the algorithm brither hope your well

tldr - the sport is progressing at a fast enough rate where training twice a week is not enough to keep up. You can still improve at BJJ by training twice a week, but you likely won't be able to get into the high percentiles in terms of skill by doing so. To do this, you will have to increase the frequency. This makes a lot of sense, as the best people are training once a day, sometimes even twice. They are able to get in so many more reps this way.

I get around all this by just using multiple steroids.

Who is alex, what is his full name, or instagram account? I wanna know more about this guy

Feel like the main key thing to add to my workout schedule here would be a lot of zone 2 right? I feel like 4x4x4 and muscular endurance work is very similar to doing actual rolling. Gonna start getting in a few hours a week of 130bpm slow jogging or something
