The Most Beneficial Part Of BJJ Training People Avoid (Episode 361)

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss the importance of rest days and why many BJJ practitioners avoid rest days and taking time off.

We start off the podcast by answering a question from "Bob," who is a 47 y/o BJJ practitioner who tries to train daily and even some days twice per day. "Bob" says that by mid week he has a hard time with focused and technical training and feels that he needs to be on the mats as much as possible to learn.

We give some advice to "Bob" on how to get the most out of training and the importance of the implementation of "rest days."

We also discuss the physical and mental signs of overtraining and how you can identify these signs and what to do about them.

We also discuss why your ability to improve is related to your rate of recovery, how scrolling on social media can negatively impact concentration and learning information, and how to avoid falling behind in BJJ.
