Jiu Jitsu Training

Can someone give a good explanation of what they mean by “dynamic training”?

Are you getting slower?

I practice brazilian jiu jitsu and have also been using the westside for skinny bastads program and have got my bench to 470 and deadlift to 605

However at present I am finding that that the new found strength is not translating so well to the mat.

Im just after any advice that other Bjj’ ers or wrestlers may have to aid my progress cause I want to be as strong as I can and still be functional. Thanks [/quote]

Good technique magnifies whatever strength you have due to leverage by several hundred percent in most cases. That is why technique rules, a 150 lb bench presser can do a move with as much force as the 600 lb bencher if he applies proper leverage. Stronger plus good technique equals one badass mofo. I think overall best movement for grappling is the deadlift if you naturally are fast, power clean if you need to improve speed. For upper body chins and rows all the way.

A great thing for practice is to pretend your a week ass. I sometimes get the habit of trying to muscle moves but then I remember to think like a week ass and have to use technique. That way when you go all out it feels easy and takes less from your conditioning.

Also, the strongest wrestler on my team is also the worst wrestler. He benches around twice his bodyweight at 225, but gets abused on the mat cause he tries to muscle everything.

Depends on how you train amigo - I lift and Im a fanatic in BJJ (blue belt, but roll at high purple level - at 147 I could put a beating on pretty much any big guy around that aint in JJ) I have found that upper body plymometrics have definitely turned over to increased mat strength. They are done with a medicine ball. It would be impossible for me to explain them, best for you to pick up a book.

Power cleans

Pullups - major increase in mat strength

Deadlifts

Rows rows rows ROWS!!!- My arm and grip strength inside the guard, to hold people in, is insane. I owe all this to rows.

Wow!! And very humble guy, Velet revolver.

Ian King said it best: “If you find your strength not transferring then train like a strongman”. Simple but powerful advices take heed my friend!

Sorry! I try to be humble, but BJJ brings out a passionate side of me that sends my testosterone into overdrive!

It has been, even more so than T-Nation, the single biggest life changing thing I have ever done/came across.
