Quick Workouts????

Hey everyone.I'm going back to grappling now, but i realized how weak i am compared to everyone in class. I am 16 and the majority of the people i roll with are much older/stronger than me. So i want to get stronger than i am right now. Unfortunately, i cant always go to the gym because my parents are always at work and also schoolwork/clubs/extracurriculars take up alot of my time. I can train 3 times a week but if you guys have videos or advice of what i can do in 30-45 mins everyday that will help develop my squeeze, build leg muscles,flexibility stretches (which isnt really strength), and anything else to help me get stronger i would really appreciate it

P90X!!!... Just kidding, go to Crossfit.com and look at their workouts of the day. Most of their workouts include a lot of olympic lifts and stuff, but since you most likely don't have access to that kind of equipment, just try to take away some of their body weight workouts. Pretty good stuff.

that wolf brigade website is awesome. if i were you i'd get a pair of dumb bells, and use reverse pyramid training, it works great.

I've found the RKC system of Kettlebells to be an extremly effective total body workout you can easily do at home. When you learn moves like the Snatch with a decent weight Kettlebell it can develop seriously sick wrist strength for BJJ.

Build yourself a 25 lb bulgarian bag from a truck inner tube, sand, zip ties, and Duck tape. Rep that thing for a half hour and you will be set. Search youtube for the videos it is what the US Greco team trains with.

Greg uses the bulgarian bags as well,I'm telling you guys he is a virutally untapped resource.

zo, i would strongly suggest getting yourself a TRX (www.fitnessanywhere.com)

i've lifted for a long while but stopped since i started grappling, the workouts i do are kind of middle the road in terms of pure strength, muscle endurance and cardio. they're extremely portable and i find most of the workouts don't tear you up so much that you aren't able to roll soon after. that said, its not the be all end all, if you could mix together every type of strength training together that would be optimal (but sounds like you don't have the time and resources).

Check out Mike Mentzer and HIT training, you should never need to lift weights for longer than 40mins if you are training in the way mike mentzer preaches. Its all about high intensity and pre exhaustion of the muscles before you do your compound lifts. If you put it in youtube theres some great workout videos of him with this huge German dude
