Hi, if you recommend 2-4 accessory exercises at the end of sessions 1&2, using the repetition/hypertrophy method, could you do upper on one and lower on the other? Also, if they’re the repetition method, could you just add them to day 3? Lastly, is day 3 a full body hypertrophy session? My guess would be isolation exercises as the accessory movements and compound movements for day 3? Thanks

Hey man, with the ME work do you bother keeping track of the top set at all or literally just yolo whatever top set you have in the tank on that given day? Do you bother tracking progress or is it something you might check in on every once in a while to see if PRs are constantly being set or not? Love the idea of free a flowing weight training plan in addition to BJJ but having some paralysis by analysis and keep bouncing between possible programs lol.

I track everything! Every ME session is logged on a spreadsheet so I’m always aware of what my PR’s are. If I’m feeling really good, I’ll go back and check what my all time best is and go for a 5-10lb PR. If I’m too fatigued to hit a PR, I’ll attempt to match a previous PR.

I have an odd schedule as a nurse, I work 3-12s and can’t not train these days because after a 12 hour work day I give my kids the rest of my time, then have about 20-30 mins to do cardio and core stuff home before back to sleep to get to work. These days are usually stacked, so I work 3 in a row, then have 4 days off where I train BJJ at 6am and 11am one day, then the other 3 days hit BJJ at 6am and then go lift. How would you place these 3 days in that schedule? I am trying to break my work days up a bit more, but it’s tough sometimes. I am a former competing power lifter so huge workouts and recovery aren’t as big an issue as maybe a beginner maybe, but still trying to make sure I do t get hurt ge side I am almost 40 years old now and only 4 months into BJJ.

I really think this should be done in blocks to be honest. Building familiarity to barbells with less weight more reps, moving to heavy compounds and then speed work and Olympic lifts for power. Usually gearing up for comps as you get closer that youd end with the speed work and power and then taper off a week before comps. Even if not competing, to get the most gains across all areas 2 or 3 x a week dedicated to each area-endurance, strength and then power would be better imo

@joshuasettlage

Ай бұрын

some aspects of block training could absolutely be included. One of the downsides to block training is that the adaptations created in block 1 don't always last and carry over into block 3. Having a more concurrent or conjugate approach with some elements of block training allow for different aspects of athleticism to be emphasized at different points in the training camp, while still making sure adaptations carry over and are present through the entire camp.
