First ever attempt at a straddle back lever and given I haven’t been specifically training for it, I was quite pleased with this attempt.

“You are as old as your spine” – Chinese proverb. Using this as a stepping stone to get into back bends from the feet.
•
In fact, I find this works for more than the spine and is also fantastic for strengthening & lengthening the quads and hip flexors. May be coincidence, although it also seems to have helped some mild patella tendinitis I had in the left knee. Most likely because it isolated and addressed a slight weakness I had in the left quads, resulting in over working the tendon.

How to put an Americana on yourself!! ??? All joking side, this an incredible exercise for building external rotation in the shoulder and maintaining healthy joints and range of motion.

Great for grips, shoulders and the muscles involved in good upper body pulling mechanics. I love to use this as a warmup prior to pulling strength workouts. Make sure to ‘suck in’ the shoulder and minimise swing when you switch from two hands to one. Forces you to stabilise the shoulder. It’s an active rather than passive hang

In this video Joe and I do a workout together and answer questions from Instagram.

We also tough on some ideas for weight training for BJJ during our own lifting.

You can check out Joe here:

Here are some of the questions from video:

Which is better for BJJ crosstraining? Yoga or weight training?

Best way to lose weight and gain muscle?

Does jiu-jitsu give you muscle?

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Discipline or Motivation ?

How to cut weight and lose minimal amounts of muscle?

Should I keep more muscle or slim down?

What supplements I take?

My workout that day was pretty light. I kept to some bench press, pendlay rows and some auxiliary work and Joe is working on some olympic lifting.

I hope you guys enjoyed the video and if you have any questions. Put them down below.

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

This exercise doesn’t look like much. But when you keep constant tension on the arm as you twist, it’s amazing for mobilising the spine and the tissue down the side of the torso. Try to find your end range of motion and twist under constant tension.

Variation on the static wrist top holds I’ve shown in the past. They are AMAZING exercises for developing both strength and mobility in the wrists. Key for BJJ.
•
Play with shifting your hands (both palm down & up) into as many positions as possible.
•
Shifting potions places a much greater load on one arm. @coachdaviscombatstrength

This lunge and rotation mobility sequence is a great technique to warm-up some of the problem areas that develop with jiu-jitsu. Adding some active and dynamic movement patterns will help warm-up the muscles, prime the tissue, and help in preventing injury. This is great as a 2 minute flow for a warm-up and cool-down.
