Manage episode 479011366 series 3635613
This episode is to give the foundations of how to build a well structured Strength Program tailored for BJJ. I dive into different categories of importance and what should be included, as the essential building blocks of any strength training program. I emphasize the importance of integrating both unilateral and bilateral variations to ensure balanced development and to mitigate injury risks on the mats.
Takeaways:
- Working with a knowledgeable coach can significantly improve the effectiveness of your strength training routine by tailoring exercises to individual needs and goals.
- A successful strength training routine for BJJ athletes should emphasize foundational movement patterns such as squats, hinges, presses, pulls, and rotational movements.
- Implementing both bilateral and unilateral exercises is crucial in strength training to address muscle imbalances and enhance overall athletic performance.
- Direct arm and neck work are essential components to enhance grip strength and prevent injuries in grappling sports like Jiu Jitsu.
- Incorporating plyometric and sprint work into strength training enhances explosive power.
