REPOST from @ryhurst of @gmbfitness that I think also has huge application to BJJ……and our ever older bodies. Big fan of @ryhurst ‘s work and he is a fellow BJJ’er so he knows the struggle is real!

@stevebechtel of @climb.strong is one of the leading authorities on strength & conditioning for rock climbing, with almost 30 years in the game and currently training some of the best rock climbers in the world. When it comes to grip strength for BJJ, there is no better sport to learn from than rock climbing. Although much more than that, there are many synergies between rock climbing and BJJ when it comes to balance an intense sports practice with strength & conditioning. I hope you enjoy this interview with Steve, and how it relates to BJJ, as much as I did.

Working a planche variation recommended by @jk_simmonds . If you’re not doing multiple variations of straight arm strength work, you’re missing out on developing excellent strength & stability in the shoulders, elbows and wrists. Very important in BJJ with all the straight arm posting we need to do.

@stevebechtel of @climb.strong introduced me to a study that shows how the vertical jump can correlate to the bodies readiness to train. I’m about to publish an interview with @stevebechtel that’s a must listen for a whole host of reasons.
.
.
Using an app like Jump Power allows you to measure your vertical jump on a daily basis. Then, if you fall 10% or so below your average, it can be a sign of fatigue and an indication to take it easier that day.
.
.
Yes…….I need to do some work on my vertical ?

One day I’ll get it, one day! Even in attempting to get anywhere near a planche, I’m still a huge of using straight work such as this to build isometric pushing strength and shoulder stability that is hugely beneficial for all the posting we do in BJJ. @moovstrong @jack_jitsu .

Two reasons you want to learn Olympic style kettlebell snatches on top of your traditional snatches.
.
.
1) Olympic style snatches involve ankle extension (heel off the floor) as opposed to a traditional style with a heel on the floor. Nearly all athletic movements involve extension of the ankle, knee and hip. So, it’s important to train movements with triple extension.
.
.
2) lifting the kettlebell without a big backward swing, requires a much quicker and greater recruitment of muscle fibres, ie a greater CNS response, thus resulting in better power development.
.
.
One suggested set of progressions to get to Olympic style KB snatches:
– good single arm swing
– good single arm clean & high pull
– good traditional snatch
– good traditional snatch with ankle extension
– finally get into Olympic style KB snatches

When it comes to developing maximal grip strength using static holds, research suggests you should focus on loads that you can hold for between 5-15s.
.
.
If you want to read the all the details Google ‘BJJ science of grip strength’ to see my full article. In summary…
.
.
Once you go beyond 15s, the load is no longer high enough and you’re getting grip strength endurance (which is also a valid attribute to train). But for maximal strength, use higher intensity loads not just for strength but….
.
.
Tendon strength and development. Our connective tissue plays a huge role in performance, injury prevention and longevity. So, ensure you have enough high intensity loads in your grip strength training. Particularly on the fingers, crimp holds and hub holds are two of my favourites. .
