Mike has a video on combining lifting and bjj just search for it

This was really helpful chad, thank you. I’ve been weight training for 8 years and started bjj last week. It’s been tough trying to find a balance between the two.

My training phase is more rehab/prehab right now but I've been organizing it like this and it's been working great, so thank you for that!

This is such an amazing video. It’s one which I return to fairly often. So much knowledge dropped, it’s like getting a university lecture/seminar for free. What a legend, CWS

Awesome video Chad! Some days because of work I have to lift literaly the hour before sparing and I class these as my hard days (as I do two back to back training session). The total time only totals about 1 hour 30 /2 hours combined what's the best sort of stuff to be doing in that hour I get before class? Also I'm trying not to be sweaty etc before my rolling class 😅. Cheers, Keep up all the awesome info and videos!

Hi Chad. Thanks for sharing all that free information if all your videos. Very much enjoy it. If I may ask, why the partial range of motion on the Chins? Did you find it transfer better to jujitsu doing partials harder than full range with fewer reps?

Great info on the ice bath! Thanks

I love these BJJ topic videos. I came to this channel with a background in jiu jitsu looking to improve my strength. And now I get the unadulterated topic I came for. Do you guys have any recommendations to replace the trap bar DL. I watched eric bugenhagen do alot of jefferson deadlifts but I'm not sure how safe of energy efficient it is. **Edit: Just watched your pillar 3 selection video and I can figure that conventional DL would do just fine but I would still like to know your opinion on the jefferson deadlift.

Awesome video

Not gonna lie, I'm jealous of a garage gym with a belt squat machine.

You look fantastic dude! The weight loss looks amazing on you.

Great video Chad! Very helpful information there! I have only one thing to ask: is the 10 sets/week enough? I am sure they are enough for you to maintain your strength levels, but is it enough for someone that is looking to improve his strength (~2 years of training age or so)? I am always speaking for neuromuscular adaptations and relative strength, not muscular hypertrophy. Thanks in advance!

Chad vs mike Sub only!!!

Awesome video, thanks Chad. On the low training days you said you do tempo intervals for 45- 60 sec of work followed by secondary work. How long should I do the secondary work for? Also how many sets of each do you do?

All these huge and strong guys getting into BJJ...Damn it all! Us little guys need an advantage! Hopefully this will convince more martial artists to get into strength training. Love it!

holy shit! mate i was with you till the ice bath NFW!!

Squats, bench press and some pull up variation is what helped me tremendously in BJJ. I think every BJJ player should do those exercises on at least two days a week.

Fantastic content. I love the level-headed and relaxed nature of the advice. I'm tired of content that insists on specific exercises, reps, sets, rest periods etc. What is far more important are the broad conceptual underpinnings of the program and, oh yeah, just putting in the work.

Awesome video Chad and great insight into recovery! By the way if you were training for power instead of capacity, would you train it before lifting ? Also what's your take on training capacity and power in the same session ?

What a great insight , thank you . Can I ask do you think S&C work before BJJ would be more beneficial than after ? I’m just thinking are you not fried after the hard AM BJJ? Clearly you’re not , but I’m interested as I’d always try my S&C on same day but am followed by BJJ PM.

Which of your books would be best for expanding on the topic of this video? Shifting from powerlifting to BJJ myself and wanting to write my own strength and conditioning program with better carryover and I'd definitely say you're the best source.

You should be fine with the juggernaut method

You look great Chad! These BJJ related videos are a bomb!

Quick question, for beginner-intermediate level grappling sport practitioners should acquiring as much muscle as possible, like you would recommend a novice-intermediate powerlifter, still be a top training priority? For example a greater quantity of hypertrophy blocks compared to general strength blocks as you would program for a powerlifter?

Oh yes! Finally!

Have you considered mixing in some no-gi or are you planning on sticking with the gi? Slightly different but complementary, in case you wanna round out your game some. Keep it up man 🔥

The side control we all dread is strong with Mr. Chad.

How do you keep the water in your ice bath clean/safe? Are you swapping out the water after every use? Are you adding any chemicals to the water to keep it safe similar to a pool maintenance?

Thanku coach.. How much time in between ur bjj rolling to ur intense workout did u have.. or suggest.

AWESOME garage gym Chad!

I've noticed that your alactic capacity recovery periods are a little bit shorter than when i've seen similar things from say Joel Jamieson and a few other similar sources. Does the exercise selection play into that? (Would your alactic capacity recovery be very different if the exercise was sprinting for example?). Also, while i know you prefer tempo intervals for aerobic development, do you see a place for steady state cardiac output in your training year? I'm kind of assuming it's the one part of GPP that would actually be a novel stimulus for you.

How about some power cleans, turkish get ups, etc something real explosive? That, and bench was the best for my BJJ.,

Makes perfect sense. It’s difficult for me to do because of my 12hr work days but on weekends this is how I train. Bjj in morning, lift at night. I wish my schedule during week would allow this

Are squats necessary for quad growth? would just split squats and drop split squats be good for quad growth? They have good carry over to jiu jitsu with the drop split squat, I find I'm more explosive when taking a single leg takedown.

Phil Daru and JTS 😎👊

Any thoughts on changing the high/low intensity split if your hard bjj session is at night instead of the morning? I currently lift on days I don't do bjj because I fear I'll be too tired by the time I go train bjj if I lift in the morning.

Any intent on releasing the full program? I would like to see the sets/reps/%, and the conditioning work.

in your scientific methods of strength training you don't do any sets over 10 reps. would higher reps like 12-20 be good for BJJ though? my upper body tends to fatigue out when I roll. I was thinking sets of 12-20 would help with strength endurance.

What kind of work do you do for aerobic capacity/endurance? I have, like you, transferred from powerlifting into a sport requiring more "athleticism", in my case cheerleading, and my biggest weakness is endurance (no surprise), so it could be cool to hear what you are doing, as we are relatively similar (big, strong, "slow" and out of shape compared to fellow trainees)
