0:34 thank you. If everything is equal, strength will win.

[@tairapeace]

Just started lifting for grappling and martial arts. Great information. Thank you🙏🏽

[@gavinthorman2905]

Really helpful, great video 💪🥋

Doing just about any type of weight lifting is going to be good for you (as long as you are not over doing it) in jiu-jitsu. Maybe not in terms of improving performance but definitely in terms of injury prevention.

Here is a program for those hobbyist that do jiujitsu 3-4 times per week (regular gi Class type) Day 1 Squat Push Pull * Posterior Core movement Day 2 Hamstrings Push Pull * Anterior Core movement Day 3 (optional) Cardio (sled dragging, Bike, Run, Walk 30-60minutes) * add grip tools (Sleeve grips, Rope, ball type handles etc.) ** consider adding neck work after jiujistu practice. No added weight just the weight of your head.

How about calisthenic training instead?

I always appreciate those of us who lift and drill bjj. I do body weight lifts....10 sets of 10.....6 stations....Push/pull....with 5-10 pull-ups after each round. I.e on chest day....I do barbell press at 205lb, Super set 80lb dumbbell press, Super set lat pull, Super set incline press, Super set Flys, end with pull-ups....I end up doing 50-100 pull-ups a day. 7 days a week

Let's say you want to aim realistically and be in the top 5% of strength in BJJ, where would it out those lift numbers?

[@mattreitman]

go for 1/2/3/4 plates respectively for OHP/bench/squat/DL

[@DeerfieldDiscGolf]

I would say muscle endurance is more important than actual strength. You need to be able to deal with crazy lactic acid buildup in your forearms, legs, and biceps.

[@Mike-hn4uu]

I totally agree. But as a white belt I can say I had tapped blue belts on occasion based on my strength and overwhelming position - and I can't imagine this happening If I didn't obtain the kind of strength to overpower their game. It wasn't due to skill, that's for damn sure. The mats tell the truth.

[@itheuserfirst3186]

@@Mike-hn4uu Definitely white belt style thinking.

[@OdinMMA]

No offence but weightlifting numbers are not comparable with actual non-linear movement/athletic movement strength. We all know people who are skinny, never lift weights but are insanely athletically strong and as much as weightlifters might be upset these kinda ppl would absolutely rag doll someone who is stiff and weak in tons of planes of movement that don’t involve a barbell.

[@theinfjgoyim5508]

Wrong question: Non lifters don't get it which is interesting, but anyway this how you should think about lifting/powerlifting... It is about focus, form, and tempo. You are perfecting a technique. It is not about doing as many reps as you can with weight that you consider heavy. Lower reps with optimized control and form. You want the motion to feel clean and smooth and it to feel somewhat effortless as compared to bodybuilding, which is fine and cool as well, but is focused around maximizing volume in a period of time with reps and constant motion which essentially chains it all together. The lattet will require muscles to grow to handle capacity rather than developing strength via the CNS. Almost all good lifters are fairly intelligent and at least intentional. The question how heavy doesn't really make any sense imo. How much you lift is more of a result of time and practice rather than a selection and starting point. Last never used weightlifting to develop cardio, it will make you weak less powerful and definitely less explosive. Your body is learning from you. Teach it the perfect punch. Not some slop fest.

[@tarasshevchenko322]

very. very heavy.

[@B1bLioPhil3]

Kinstretch all day. Way more transfer to jiu-jitsu. Also, these videos are like 2 years old and all can be found on the JTS channel.

[@bryanhovich]

You forgot steroid everywhere in bjj
