Important weight training exercises?

Being the smallest dude at my gym, guys pretty much try to smother me. I'm thinking that lifting weights would help with things, such as whip ups. I just don't know if there's any specific exercises I should incorporate.

Just some basics:
Hanging knee raises
Adductor squeeze
Hamstring curls
Rows/Pullups

I do fine. No weight training. Just tons of Jiu jitsu. You've seen how small I am. And dude, you're not that small. Lol.

The big four work for pretty much anyone: bench, squat, overhead press, deadlift

Kettlebell stuff like turkish getups are pretty good. Pullups are always crafty.

Trust me, Tori, I'm a dwarf compared to the guys I train with. They straight up smother me with their weight.

Thanks guys, keep em comin'! And, Chad, those were never a question--football ingrained those in my mind.

I sit a 35lbs kettlebell or two 25 lb dumbbells on my stomach area while I do dumbbell presses (on the floor) or just breath in and out with the weights on there. You have to experiment with getting them to stay on your stomach. Kettle bells and olympic lifts are the shit imo. But you have to get instruction before doing either of those exercise. Lots of jits definitely changes your body at first but like Eddie has said recently, you have to lift the heavy weights to really be strong.

Also dont get smashed, dont be flat.

Bicep curls, shrugs, and calf raises. All you'll ever need.

Oly lifts are great. Used to do a lot of them. I just wonder if there's any other coordinative exercises specific to our 10p games.

As for trying to not be smashed, can't help it sometimes. They're just too strong lol

Just for future reference - when a girl says you're not that small it means that you are
