Hi, awesome stuff here. Thanks alot!
Now for my question: What kind of strength training would you recommend after SSLP and “the bridge” for a brasilian jiu jitsu practitioner aiming to compete and get better in a non-professional environment.
Lets say you do 2 heavy sparring drill practices that are really taxing per week for bjj. There might be another 1-2 more technique-days for bjj also (not taxing).
Matches are typically 5 or 6 minutes at my level but you readily do quite short resting periods between them. Typically 3-5 matches in a tournament.
Explosiveness, speed, grip strength and gas tank size are typical things that I think of that really matter. Hip strength and explosiveness is really important. Weight class is a factor. I´m 6 3 and 32 years old, 206 pounds looking to compete at this weight (207,5). The next weight class is 221 pounds (thats including typically 4-5 pounds of gi) but I rather stay around in the 207,5 one. The weigh in is right before the match so I dont think cutting too much before the match is possible.
Any thoughts?
Goals: mainly general jackedness , but would be nice to also have good capabilities in bjj. A big bench never hurts when hanging out with the bros either.
