1 of 3 gymball games to improve movement for #bjj next video tomorrow.

This game will help improve your balance and ability to adjust your weight quickly when someone is trying to move underneath you in Bjj. The more we train the micro adjustments needed for balance, the better our body will intuitively handle small adjustments on the mat to maintain control of your opponent.
Complete 10 reps without falling off, if you fall off, start again from 0. A fun way to warmup and improve movement at the same time, or when you can’t make it to class.

Small, consistent results, lead to big changes over time. Play the long game.

We can all, myself included, be guilty of wanting instant results. Rarely anything in life worth having is gained in an instant. Particularly for #strength training or #bjj. I see the planche as the ultimate in upper body pushing and straight arm strength. I’ve been working on progressions consistently for ~18 months. So, while this hold looks small, it’s a big step for me to finally elevate under control without the legs supporting the arms. Much further to go, but celebrate the small wins when you get them. It will help with #motivation ???

Try this 10 reps each leg before your next lower body session, or if you have weaknesss in the glutes. APOLOGIES FOR THE SOUND.

Correct activation of the glutes is essential for good movement and injury prevention in #bjj we spend too much time sitting on our butts and not enough time working them. This will help, particularly if you think you have hip problems, the problem could be weak glutes

Got tight elbows and forearms from #bjj? Try this.

Working with @willandbens_daddy to help him with some tight elbows from an old injury. Sorry, the beard isn’t back…digging out an elbow video that was never posted.

A great stretch to do daily to help maintain healthy elbows, forearms, hands and fingers ??? Check link in bio or link below for FREE breathing for BJJ program that’s been getting great reviews.

There are so many benefits to this exercise, it’s hard to list them all. Aim for 20s-30s in each position on each foot, actively driving up, with very little weight on the stick. START SMALL & SLOW.

If you have foot, ankle, knee, hip or lower back problems this may be a good place to start. Our feet are our foundation, yet they’re so often overlooked as the starting point for good strength and activation through the entire body.
We focus first on other areas, but if you’re weak in the feet (very likely if you do BJJ as they can be underused or work on a soft mat) how can you expect everything else further up the chain to function properly?

This exercise will develop great foot and ankle strength, is great for balance, is great for activation of the lower core and teaching your body to work as one unit. ??? Check link in bio or link below for FREE breathing for BJJ program that’s been getting great reviews.

Variable resistance kettlebell swings inspired @drjaquish Comment with your perspective

During the swing the kettlebell is actually “light” for much of the upward swing, meaning during the strongest part of the hip drive movement, you actually have less resistance. My thought process is by adding a heavy band around the hips (not the kettlebell) you increase resistance as you get to the top, forcing you to generate more force and activate the posterior chain and core at a much greater level than a normal swing. Result? A more effective exercise for building power and muscular activation. At first I was concerned about comprising good mechanics, but I actually think this may force you to have better form.

After hearing a Dr Jaquish interview on the @bengreenfieldfitness podcast I’ve been playing with different ideas on variable resistance training and so far this is my favourite. Check out the interview, some amazing ideas based on his X3 training system. ??? Check link in bio or link below for FREE breathing for BJJ program that’s been getting great reviews.

Do you think over training is a myth?

Let me know in the comments below.

I was recently given an interesting article by @djbrayso that talked about athletes going to hard on light days, and then not pushing themselves as hard as they could on hard days. But, I also know someone people think overtraining is a myth (plenty of research says it’s not). So, I want to know how people feel about this subject. ??

Inspired @jack_jitsu ‘s post earlier, I wanted to share my favourite stick based mobility and body control exercise for the spine. Picked this one up off @portal.ido Mine is a bit rusty, but feels great on the back and hips after a few reps. ???
