Chewy and Eugene discuss how to return to BJJ after the quarantine or just a long layoff.
Chewy shares a cautionary story about getting back to BJJ improperly after a long layoff and getting injured, the importance of the right mindset for getting back to training, how injuries can be cumulative, listening to your body, having the right environment/intensity, adjusting your expectations, why you should expect future layoffs, how your BJJ style changes after a layoff, building new habits and conditioning yourself, dealing with setbacks, and the importance of diet and sleep.
