Mat strength is not the same static strength used while lifting.
_________________________
That’s why often times someone that has experienced lifting weights expects their strength to transfer easily to the mats, and they are wrong.
__________________________
In my opinion lifting weights for BJJ and MMA is best to do for injury prevention, true man to man strength comes from years of moving bodies and controlling your own body.

I’m 39 years old, 225-230 lbs, and can move like a man half my weight. That’s because Jiu-Jitsu my friends.

@pitbullusa

Stop neglecting the body:)

Plant your feet, turn your hips, and try to break whatever it is you’re throwing at.

Also, anytime I throw lighter @1969franksavannah
yells at me. He’s a gluten for punishment.

5×5 min pad rounds.

Lots of you ask about my debut with @onechampionship. Fact is my body is pretty destroyed. Last year when I started my camp I immediately tore my bicep. My body lately cannot seem to stay well for an extended period of time, there is a lot of wear and tear on me. I been competing for close to 20 years. To fight I must stay healthy, and at the moment that seems to be hard.

My injuries are below.

1. Torn acl meniscus and lcl right leg.
2. Meniscus left leg.
3. Torn left bicep
4. Torn rotator cuff left shoulder
5. Torn labrum right shoulder
6. Broken left hand
7. Broken left foot with torn ligaments.
8. 3 broken noses
9. 4 concussions
10. Torn hamstring
11. Pin surgically inserted in toe due to severe break.
12. Slipped disk lower back

Throwback to my 4th MMA fight. Half guard to Toe Hold finish. I’ll still say to this day, I’m more comfortable throwing hands than I am on the ground. The next fight I won the @ringofcombat title by knockout.

Take a look at Cams beautiful guard retention. He’s 130 lbs and his opponent in the absolute is a heavyweight. I think everyone knows I prided myself on having an impassible guard, so when I see my students doing the same I feel so much happiness. Watch some beautiful Jiu-Jitsu here. HIS OPPONENT PLACED IN HEAVYWEIGHT.

@vellore_caballero

Wow, when I thought people couldn’t stoop any lower they proved me wrong. Now they make fun of my dead Father. I did laugh at this. 😂😂 but my God, so terrible people are. The more people know your name the more invisible haters you get.

Reposted from @bjjgarbage2 I don’t condone this.

Throwback to @adcc_northamerica trials 2014. This is my qaurter final match hitting an x guard sweep. Notice how my opponent forced me to stand up and finish it, that’s often the case at higher levels. One key note, I keep my hand above the knee so he can’t pull his leg out. I went on to win 3 more matches and the trials. Thank you to @theallenwrench for finding this. To those competing in the trials this November, it’s imperative you learn the rules and play the rules.

@cameronmellott doing some balance magic.

My boxing coach @1969franksavannah is a madman. EVERY SINGLE training session when he has me go to the body I throw light, then he gets annoyed and asks me what my problem is. My problem is I don’t want to crush his insides. 🤣🤣

Everyone should try to compete against them now when they are still inexperienced kids, because soon all of their opponents are f-ed. Also, they are not going 100% at all.

Lately more than ever, I’m getting so many messages from people that are feeling incredibly sad and depressed. This life is tough, but I promise you better days await. Hang in there my friends and get the help you deserve.

Sam competes at 135 lbs, I currently am 235 lbs. I have 100 lbs on him yet we were able to have a great controlled roll where we both benefited. And yes, half guard I love. 🤣🤣

@pitbullsports
