Training and Competing As An Older Grappler With BJJ Black Belt Brad Steinborn (Episode 417)
From Chewjitsu
On this episode of the podcast we are joined by BJJ black belt and Master's competitor Brad Steinborn.
Brad discusses the importance of focusing on diet, strength training, and recovery outside the gym. We also discuss "Volume Training" and the type of lifting Brad has done since he has gotten older, how to adjust to training as you get older, how Brad's BJJ game has evolved, thoughts on drilling, the goals Brad had when he started training and why he continues to train, training yourself to be calm in complex situations through Jiu-Jitsu, staying busy outside of Jiu-Jitsu and giving back to his community, the most valuable Jiu-Jitsu lesson he has learned, and how he balances family, a career, and training BJJ.
