What do you Bench? This question is not helpful for BJJ athletes and may even be harmful. Even though Barbell Bench Press is a very popular movement in modern day lifting, spending time lying on your back and pushing heavy weight off your chest isn't the best way to strengthen your upper body. If you really want a stronger upper body JT & Joey explore the alternatives to get you there and how you can avoid injury by changing up how you lift.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
