I just found this series of videos, it’s got a few interesting things to pick out and use.
PCH2 I hope the move I saw that guy doing was not one you focused on. I see no relevance between that move he was doing and grappling of anykind. If there is please explain to me. I am not trying to be a dick but I completely do not see that helping grapple better. Is it supposed to condition you for a certain position or move?

I been doing BJJ for 2 years and i am really athletic and explosive in all positions, i find that its all about core strength and conditioning on the ground and neck and lower back conditioning.
deadlifting
laying on your back and rolling your head forward till your chin touches you chest and do side to side as well
and then you need to do weighted sit ups. get some one to hold your feet and go fucking NUTS!!! on the weight
i do sit ups with 80-100 pounds on my chest like 8-10 reps just drop set it down untill your not using any weights.
Not even your instructor? I have found that technique will trump strength most of the time.
i can just sit up with even heavy weights on my chest in mount no body can hold me down[/quote]

your question went into the quote section… but yea no if im mounted i can get him off and re guard or get to my knees but hes on me and ussually submits me in other positions but yes i can get him off with a massive explosive bridge and push on his hips its good technique and strength combined is what you should aim for not one or the other
Conditioning for ground fighting… I would go with more actual ground fighting.
technical i know.

I second everyone saying to relax and roll more. Force yourself to stay on the mat even if you’re almost useless, at the worst case you’ll be a great practice dummy for your partner to work their submissions. My cardio was terrible, until I consciously made myself never step off the mat in free-practice. Before I knew it, I was rolling for an hour and a half, and then doing standing judo for another 90 minutes without stopping.
A good drill to make yourself learn to relax and flow more, is to roll with someone and not let yourself grab anything with a closed grip. Use all open hands. That will force you to be more fluid. Try it and see how your cardio level is afterwards compared to normal grappling.

I’ve noticed I get really tired when trying to pull arm-bars. My abs are too tired to blast my hips up to attack the arm, especially if I can’t get the arm-bar first three times, then I’ll really get tired.
So I’ve been working on some solo arm-bar drills and doing some more conditioning for the stomach.

dude, working muscle power is not the way to sink those arm bars. No wonder you’re gassing!
How long have you been doing ground work?
I just re-read your first post and notice that you are doing shrimp-brdige to knees with a weighted vest and think that this is a good idea. This is NOT ideal!
To have a good bridge you need hip power. To create that power add power cleans or other variations of the olympic lifts.
And really above all, you need to get better technically. The proper technique will help you with your energy management.
Alright. Cleans are nice, although I don’t do them a lot. I do 150kg DLs.
I have to admit that I did have a lot of good technique carry-over from doing the weighted bridge-to-turtle drill. It also made it a lot tougher on me. However, I’ll take your advice on doing cleans.
