In this video I discuss an important concept in improving performance and reducing injury risk known as “Load Management.”

What is load management you ask? Well its pretty much the “burden” or stress you put on your body.

There are 2 types of load that you can put on your body: External (how long you train…minutes and days) and the internal load (the physiological effects, or how your body feels).

Too much load can lead to injuries and too little load won’t stimulate the body enough to promote strength changes and won’t improve performance.

In this video, I answer a question from Instagram about some ideas to think about when getting back to training after a knee injury.

Just to note, these are guidelines and can be quite variable between individuals based on severity of injury, whether you had surgery, age, health, etc. so take these tips as guidelines and general ideas to follow.

Hip Mobility Drill For Jiu-Jitsu: Part 2

90-90 Leg Lifts

Begin in the 90-90 Position.
Move into your end-range by moving your chest towards the leg you are focused on, and then slightly move away to allow for some available movement of the hips.

Keep a braced and stiff upper torso and focus on actively lifting the front leg 5-10 reps of 5 seconds. Then perform actively lifting the back leg 5-10 reps for 5 second holds.

This will help close the gap between passive hip motion (the ability to move your leg without using your muscles) and active hip motion (using your muscles to move the hip through or to a specific motion).

The more active control you have over your hips, the better function and capability, and ultimately control you will have over your joint.
