I DO know what you're saying BUT I dont think caio terra has much problem getting smashed.
JJ is the apex activity for increasing jiu jitsu skill, for sure. But I'm looking to add anything that will aid me in my training.
sissy and regular squats for a tight lock down.
Cocaine and hookers? Seems to be the go-to response...
Learn to move your body better. I used to get super smashed. We have a ton of guys around 190. Lots of good people in the gym..killers. You will still get smashed for a while, but it's worth the time. Focus on moving, making space, recovering guard, basically transitioning from position to position. I still have some trouble sometimes, but not as much anymore.Quote:

I'm 140 pounds and regularly roll against guys who have 50, 80, sometimes even a hundred pound weight difference and I can handle myself. I lift no weights, just train BJJ. If your technique improves, you won't have to be super strong to be effective. Being small, you need to develop a game that's effective against larger opponents. Even if you're strong, you're still going to be way weaker against a guy who's 50 pounds bigger and in shape. Marcelotines, deep half guard, butterfly guard, rncs, triangles, etc. Find techniques that work with your body and can be effective against guys no matter how big they are.
Watch Marcelo Garcia
What cycle of steroids are you currently using?
If the answer is none, there's your problem. Gainz bruh. Gainz
I weigh 155, regularly roll with people 200+. I completely understand the "I need to get better at jiu jitsu" idea. I'm just a white belt. I also completely abandoned weight lifting when I made the switch from football to jiu jitsu. I fucking HATE lifting weights. But even Eddie says that he's been lifting weights the past few years and that he'll never stop (said that on the podcast, can't remember which one).Quote:

So if there's anything I can do to help increase the raw material for my body to perform the jiu jitsu I'm learning, I'm going to do it.
I just need to know if there's any specific exercises you all do for our 10P specifics ;)
Strength mainly counts when you get up to a high level. Like Andre Galvao. Super high level jj..crossfit beast... Anything to increase your flexibility is awesome. And hip strength is huge to me in my personal game. But you can get that from shrimping and hardcore reps on sweeps and transitions etc.
Ross, you only have so much time. What are your jj goals so we can better assist you in the best route?
