As a 38yo who can’t stand back squats anymore, I’ve found that a Deficit Trap bar deadlift in a “squatty” pattern works for what I need it for. Standb on bumpers and use the low handles to get yourself in essentially a deep squat/clean position, then just explode straight up. Now I’d imagine for grappling this bottoms up motion has more carryover since you’re exploding from the floor, as well as having the ability to adjust your knee, torso, and hip angles before each rep.
Keep in mind I’m still doing independent posterior chain work via RDL’s, goodmornings, etc.
I stopped doing weighted backsquats entirely almost a year ago and switched to doing loaded pistol squats instead - and I've NEVER looked back!!! My knees are so much healthier, I can access crazy angles during rolling, and I can BLAST my legs with minimal CNS fatigure. My current PR is 5 reps per leg with 90 lbs, but the gains keep coming! I'm very curious to see when i start to plateau.
Ps - i havent back squatted in a long time, so I dont know if i've lost that strength, but I recenetly tested my front squat just for fun, and I PR'd my one rep max by 15 lbs, despite not training for about a year. Pistol Squats are GOATed imo
I like this comment.
Stop back squat and start to romanian deadlift and Bulgarian split squat
Weights for strength and growth no weights at all for flexibility. I love squats
Oh boy, that stash on the hydration product plug is next level!
Hamstring tightness and adductor tightness has been the biggest issue for me with squatting ass-to-grass
Hey guys! I completely agree, though it can be hard when you are recovering from lower back pain and sciatica. Any great alternatives??
I think one thing y'all should talk about is non specific sport training like trying to reap the benefits of what you don't get when doing bjj or isnt as developed low rep strength training since you get the BJJ required attributes like if you wanna get better then the rest you need to build something they don't have
pistol squats is the sheez , love em !
What do you guys think of the resistance training routine and how that fits into jiu jitsu routine. For example, if you trained Thursday and Sunday jiu jitsu, what days would you do resistance training?
Coming up to my brown belt and have been training weights just twice a week around my jiu jitsu, but im curious if it’s counterproductive if you train jiu jitsu with doms….
Box squats work great for those who experience knee pain!
Lighten the weight, keep the bar in plane, super slow eccentric, ass to heels.
My knees hate squats any reccomemdations?
Side plank clamshell
Box squat
Spanish squat
Reverse lunges
Leg press
Unilateral harm curl high reps
Trap bar deadlift
Check your squat technique.
I was having some knee issues but then I had a strength coach look at my form.
I wasn’t “sitting back” far enough which resulted in misloading my knee.
When I “sat back” more, I felt the weight shift to my glutes and hamstrings and was able to add way more wight to my squat. I also gained flexibility in my hips.
One thing to look out for with “sitting back” is to make sure you keep your back tight so you don’t flex your spine during the squat.
The clean is way more valuable than the squat as a singular exercise, but granted many don't have the technique to complete it safely/effectively.
Also wanna say I like this video at first I thought you guys were anti big 3 I think it should be big 7 deadlift, squat, lunges/Bulgarian split squat, bench, ohp, pull up, bent over row,
Add Dips and I think that’s the entire selection needed
