Do you like Spicy Foods? Do hard questions make you sweat? JT & Joey are putting themselves to the test, visiting Belles Hot Chicken and eating their way through the highest levels of spice. They also answer very personal questions that open up on secret info never before revealed as they banter their way through: - What is Happiness?- What Has Changed the way you train?- Advice to Your White belt Self- Do you believe in Aliens or Spirits- Favourite Part of the other Man's Body From "Traveler" (mild) all the way up to "Sex Panther" (Atomic heat) designed to mess you up. The boys open up, suffer, sweat and eat as they bare all in this very personal chat and answer your questions.

Eli Knight joins the show to talk about navigating Jiu-Jitsu politics, managing gym drama and why he doesn't use stripes on belts anymore. He also talks about the criteria used to promote people in BJJ and the "Ham Sandwich" technique he uses often.

On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by strength, nutrition, and lifestyle coach Eli Coffey and introduce Eli and Chewy's new strength and hypertrophy training program for Jiu-Jitsu athletes called "Swole & Roll." Eli is a WBFF Pro Muscle Model, holds state and national bench press records, and is a black belt in Japanese Jujitsu. On this episode, Eli discusses his start in martial arts and how an injury during martial arts competition led him to strength training and body building. Eli discusses how severe arthritis in his shoulders forced him to adjust his weight-lifting, how to get the most out of training when you are injured, how to adjust your diet for weight loss, why strength training is the basis for fat loss, how much protein you should consume for your body, Eli's first bodybuilding show, the importance of having a coach, what to eat before and after training, and the introduction of Eli and Chewy's new "Swoll & Roll" strength training program for BJJ. The live Q&A Starts at 1:06:00 and includes: Impact of resistance training for injury prevention. How to maintain flexibility for rolling and still maintain strength. How can you train "isometric tension" for BJJ? Are there specific exercises for "Guard Players" on the "Swole & Roll" program? Is working out two days per week still beneficial? Will the "Swoll & Roll" program create more muscle balance throughout the body? Does the "Swole & Roll" program have videos? What equipment do you need for the "Swoll & Roll" program? Is there benefit to removing coffee from your diet? Does it matter when you eat after exercise? You can follow Eli on instagram @elicoffey_ and reach out for additional information at elicoffeycoaching@gmail.com You can pick up the "Swole & Roll" program at the special launch discount price (until March 31st, 2023) and also be entered for a chance to fly out and train with Eli and Chewy.

Do you struggle with your weight? What is a BMI? Plenty of us have experienced weight gain at different stages of life. This shouldn't be a reason not to train BJJ. Even though being over weight can make many things hard, if you know how to use what you got, this can be an advantage on the mats. JT & Joey discuss many of the related pros, cons and alternatives to help manage what might usually hold you back and turn it into something to drive you forward.

2022 ADCC Champion Giancarlo Bodoni joins the show to talk about how to become the best version of yourself on and off the mats! Topics include self confidence, discipline, mindset and technical development. He also gives insight on leg lock escapes!
