One of the biggest benefits I have found utilising #gymnastic #strength exercises and how it translates to #BJJ is straight arm work. This is one example on the rings. Forcing the thumbs out and elbows forward, develops strength in the muscles and tissues m that cross the elbow joint. Straight arm strength is something lacking in most strength programs. Yet, for Bjj, our elbow joints take such a beating, so straight arm work should be a must. Not to mention the benefits to the wrist and shoulder joints from holding them in a stable loaded position. Doing this on the rings can be tough, you can start of on a set of dip bars or far more basic variations on the floor in a press-up position
