    Front squats and power clean will change your game. Also bentover rows are a great add to these suggestions. All athletic, dynamic movements on your feet (except bench)

    Intensity and volume of training always depends on individuals - gender, age, are you a beginner or experienced athlete also are you experienced in the weight room, your injury history too! BJJ training should be sport specific, you should go through pahse of training which means to improve a specific quality above all! This should be done by energy systems: energy system specific conditioning. which in BJJ you: aerobic - phase 1: alactic power:how fast,how strong,how far so explise max output: olympic lifts, jumps, throws, max speed - 55%-80% of 1 rep max for 4-8 reps (including squats, UB Push, UB pull, Olympic lifts ) with max recovery time which means It takes approximately 30secs to repay 50% of your CP stores with 98% getting repaid after 3minutes..For example in like 50 to 100meter sprint you need to rest 30 seconds for each 10 meter sprints that means 2.5 minutes in 50m and 5minutes in 100m . tHIS MAX OUTPUT ALACTIC power training should be combined with general strength and hypertrophy for 12-20 reps (to increase muscle mass - hypertrophy maintain healthy muscles, prevent injuries and maintain muscle endurance) could vary of experience for sets of 2-4 sets 12-20 reps and rest anywhere from 30sec to 90seconds - primary movement and considering your experience level. could go for undulating periodization for advanced athletes or Linear if you are completely beginner. You want to assess your current movements and than go through from basics and build up! :)way to start! Hope this helps! I run a Strength and conditioning program for a BJJ team here locally, but as you see my site I do injury prevention and sport psychology for CEOs to prevent, treat or resolve pain and optimize movement! So just you know ive been in this industry with athletes and individuals for 8 years now. This video is very handly well explained but not detailed an specific.

    Hi 🙃 how much sets and repetitions would you recommend? Would it make sense to periodize the range of repetitions as you do in classical weight training (for instance 8 weeks 15-20 reps, then 8 to 12 weeks 8-10 reps, 8 to 12 weeks something between 1 and 8 reps)? And my last question is, how deep do you go down while doing squats? As we can see here in the first demonstration you go pretty low which could cause damage to the knee joints if you use a lot of weight. How would you handle that? Thank you very much for your answer 🙂

  • @LeWafelaar

    Squatting low with good mechanics is not bad for your knees. In fact, regularly squatting while never reaching parallel can cause knee pain by causing an imbalance between your quads and hamstrings. You don't need to go as deep as this guy, but always try to hit parallel (top of hip at top of knee)

  • @ElectrumPerformance

    @ElectrumPerformance

    There are plenty of viable rep ranges while training for BJJ. Higher reps/pauses can be used for more local muscular endurance, while lower rep ranges will contribute to maximal strength. Both are important for BJJ! There is absolutely no evidence that squatting low causes damage to the knees. In fact, due to the deep knee flexion found in many BJJ positions, we would recommend squatting to the deepest depth you can safely brace through and hit consistently so that you are prepared for the demands of the sport.

    Wouldn't a full power clean be beneficial too? It basically combines the power clean pull and front squat. What is the benefit of separating the movements, besides to maybe do higher weights on your front squats? Edit: alright, if I would have watched 10 seconds longer, i would have noticed that you answered my question. Just risk concerns, I understand.

    @@ElectrumPerformance Good video all over. Not sure if somebody would use straps in the way you did, if their shoulder is compromised because of a kimura overrotation, seems uncomfortable. Rather use straps to work on wrist and upper body mobility, to force you in correct position. Compromised mobility because of acute shoulder injury doesn´t mix well with front or back squats long term. Why do you only use pull up negatives? Grip strenght and endurance can be trained performing pull ups positive and negative, while using a more specific grip. More explanation on why use a specific exercise would be nice.
