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.

Do you train Judo? How's your Double leg take down? Which ever style of stand up grappling you prefer, one of these has more carry over than the other. If you are looking to become a really well rounded grappler and want to do some extra training where should you spend your time? Judo is great for making some of the hardest and strongest grapplers around and wrestlers are some of the most athletic movers in sport. JT & Joey weigh up the pros and cons to give you the answer.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the worst advice you can give to a strong athlete. We discuss training with people who are very strong and how it can lead to frustration, what your response should be to someone who uses excessive strength in training, advice you should give to strong athletes, how too much focus on strength can hinder your progress, how Chewy advises a white belt to use strength in a controlled way, and what to do if you are one of the weaker athletes in the gym.

In his first podcast interview ever, Bird explains the importance of skill tiers in training rooms, overcoming overthinking, commitment when attacking and managing your internal monologue. He also convinces Ryan that telekinesis is the best superpower!

Do you take a rest round? Do you sit to the side when others are rolling? There is actually a disagreement between the Bulletproof Boys. JT is pushing you to not take a rest round to improve your standard. Joey believes it's better for you to take a rest round if you feel like it. Which choice do you make?

To celebrate the launch of the new BJJ for Old F***s instructional (available at grapplearts.com/oldguard) here are some of the most important takeaways for the older grappler. In this episode Rob Biernacki (age 46) and I (age 52) discuss... - The two things that change most about your training as you get older - How to improve as fast as possible by *limiting*your training - Why base, posture and structure are even more important for older grapplers - How to select for techniques that are high percentage at the high level but still work on young whippersnappers - How to stay safe on the mat and not get injured - Reducing unnecessary movement so you don't get tired - How gripfighting and range management will dramatically improve your abilities on the mat - And much more. Honestly, if you're beginning to creep up on the wrong side of 40 then this is a must-listen.

On this episode we discuss qualities 9-20 of a smart Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. This episode comes from an e-mail that Chewy had on his e-mail list. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list and are the next 10 qualities that Chewy came up with. Here is #11-20: 11. Can roll at various speeds depending on the situation. 12. Is able to undulate between their "A game" and new techniques that will push them to improve. 13. Isn't side tracked by a loss of short-term motivation but instead focuses on the long-term goals. 14. Does their best to be a good follower and in turn will make a good leader someday. 15. Is willing to invest in their skills through coaches, seminars, courses and other resources. 16. Understands that it's not just what you do, but how you do it that really matters. 17. Realizes that their biggest, most challenging opponent, is themself. 18. Understands that they will fail or be incompetent with most things in the beginning, thus they aren't discouraged when things don't go well early on because they already accept it would happen. 19. Never goes on a trip without some gear to train in. . . Just in case. 20. Has both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for training. Thanks to the podcast sponsors: Charlotte's Web CBD.
