all the above...plus buy Eddie's books and study like a motha fudga and you will get better.
Thanks guys, the Medicine ball trick is a good one. Im getting to the point now where i can double bag with ease.
Core and stability routines, some yoga, plyometrics, kettle bells, medicine ball and DEEP stretching.
All of the above. Repetition repetition repetition
Use the big inflateable exercise ball ..leg curl and squeeze on that thing for a long as you can. It will build your squeezing endurance for RG pretty quick. I used to do at least 4 rounds at 1 min. per round. Hope it helps
the exercise ball is a great exercise thanks john
Lockdown, and stomp leads to rubber guard..! I had an epiphany.. I had trouble breaking people down, then I realised that if my lockdown and stomp is good, I can transition directly to rubber guard. Then it's a matter of flexibility, squeeze, and knowing what to do when, and running trough the steps fast. That's my approach! :)
stretch man....if ur straining to get ur leg up itll make ur rg weaker...so once the position is solid, then the squeeze drills
partner drills are the best, IMO. Alder taught us to go to New York and have your partner lift you off the ground. you gotta keep New York locked in as tight as possible for 30 seconds. switch and repeat the drill. do this over and over and over. every practice if you can.
remember, it takes 10,000 hours to reach the expert level in any activity. start putting in your numbers now!
Some good tips here. We definitely see the benefits from going to mission control or NY and having our partner gradually posture with higher and higher resistance. Makes everything much tighter than drilling it without resistance.
As for triangles, if you are used to using you adductor muscles then this makes the triangle choke less efficient. So dont train squeezing your knees together to finish the triangle; work your angle and you wanna be using a leg press motion counterpointed by a leg curl on the other leg. This equals infinitely more power, and therefore less effort, than simply squeezing using adductor muscles.
