Brandon, here is one point I never hear about lifting that helps on the mat, it increases you anaerobic capacity. Twice a week I do heavy lifting and assault bike work for my explosive cardio and I wear a heart rate monitor to keep track of what I'm doing and how hard I'm pushing and I have noticed that heavy compound lifts like squatting and deadlifts push my heart rate just as much as the wind sprits on the assault bike. Knowing that, I try longer sets of intensive loads to increase the heart work.
Love your content man! Which of your instructions would you recommend for a beginner who's terrible at wrestling and has no clue what they're doing but wants to improve for no gi BJJ (Other than the solo drills one)
I usually train Monday-Saturday once a day. I lift 2-3x a week! I’m with you. Too much BJJ becomes boring and starts feeling like a job (which I guess it is mine, but still)
I started training Jiu Jitsu in 2009. I've personally noticed that I feel better when I don't lift. Just makes me more bulky. Also noticed it makes me more injury-prone. That's just me personally. I just do dips and pulls now outside of rolling
@enrapturedgoose5317 if you maintain mobility and flexibility it should make you less injury prone but stiffer joints from being more bulky could be a factor I'd imagine

do you think bodybuilding, olympic lifting, or a mixture of both for cycles is the best approach?
Not sure. I guess it depends on you. I’m not an expert - I hired one 😂

Thanks man! I’d recommend my hand fighting course! It’s very basic

How many days a week you train grappling? I find myself training 4x a week because then for me it just gets boring if I train everyday.

How can you be more injury prone by having a stronger and more resilient body??
You get injured when youre more fatigued if its not managed properly@enrapturedgoose5317
@enrapturedgoose5317 if you maintain mobility and flexibility it should make you less injury prone but stiffer joints from being more bulky could be a factor I'd imagine
@@enrapturedgoose5317 By being slower and less reactive/athletic I guess
You were lifting incorrectly. Lift with Jiu Jitsu in mind and your life in mind. Don’t just lift like a bro while doing martial arts.
