    Tangent Master Ramsey As a relatively smaller, older guy I decided to stop strength training with heavy weights because heavy lifting and training BJJ both is just not sustainable for me, but have found body weight exercises that are beneficial for strength, especially if you are able to work in various types of pull-ups, dips, and push-ups. Developing the ability to do simple hand stand push ups was an important milestone for me.

    Bodybuilders often don't get credit for their well rounded strength profile. While the direct strength sports focus on mostly max strength on some few exercises many bodybuilders usually do quite well on all of them while also probably having the best strength endurance from all the "pumping". A useful kind of strength especially in grappling. Of course while being on stage and looking the best they can barely do some pullups anymore - ironically.

    Perfect timing, was wondering these things myself lately. I moved from boxing to MMA a few months ago and I still struggle with grappling, I can escape it and keep a fight being striking, but I can't make anyone tap out myself. Also I look weak to some I guess, I look like scarecrow, I'm tall and really thin, but I'm wrestling and sparring with people much buffer and heavier than me and I'm doing fine, a lot of them didn't believe me when I told them how much I weight. There aren't many light guys like me so it's not like I have a choice, either way I like training with anyone.

I remember in spring 2020, i saw a video showing the loco-plata(choke with the foot). Months later in fall, im rolling with a guy, a little less experienced, and i noticed my foot on his face. And though it had been months, i remembered that choke, just wasn't totally sure of the exact details. But i was able to figure it out and get a tap. And ive done similar things with striking. I love those mind-blowing 🧠🌋moments.

Both the warm ups and the practice made my body feel like it was on fire the whole time because of all the crouching and grabbing, but it also felt very cool, and also, somewhat intuitive! I really enjoyed it, and I've decided to keep going to classes to train!

Video the move. Passive, visual. Write something about the move. Active, visual plus connected hand movements. Consider also drawing or developing spider diagrams or 'mind maps'. Activating your visual/spacial processing and memory. Getting overall time in (100 hours). That's 100 purposeful hours. Don't count junk time. Get a willing body for extra practice and drilling. Vast possibilities for purposeful learning. Ramsey delivered the gold again.

    Hey! I'm glad you mentioned Strength and Conditioning in this video. What's your experience and opinion on gynmastic rings? I got myself some and they have been an eye-opener. They are putting stress on stabilizing muscles in ways that traditional calisthenic exercises or barbell compound lifts have mercy on. I think there's a lot of sports-specific benefits to be gained on working those often-ignored stabilizing muscles in striking or pushing. My reasoning is that a punch with a rigid structure that can withstand all the force of impact that it's delivering is "stronger" than a punch with a lot of force generated behind it but delivered by a wet noodle in comparison.

    A large part of strength is neurological. when you start exerting close to your max, your brain will perceive that there’s a risk of injury and basically stop you. There’s also the component of tendon/ connective tissue stiffness. If your tendons are stretchy they actually absorb some of the force created by the muscles. There’s also cellular differences on athletes that train in different ways (higher concentrations of mitochondria and stuff) you can’t see any of that. All that makes it not just possible, but common that a person would look not very strong and be able to use there body to produce an incredible amount of force.

    Separate post for the guy asking about strength - This is what I used to do and it worked - short version: Day 1 - Bench Press, Pull-Ups, Overhead Press, Rows (I prefer standing with one arm row at a time for core strength and balance as a bonus). Day 2 - no lifting. Day 3 - Romanian Deadlifts, Squats (less weight, full range - butt to the floor if you can), Deadlifts, Paloff Presses, Cable Wood Chops (watch your form - don't boink your back), and Calves. Day 4 - no lifting. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps each exercise. 2 minutes rest between sets. The last rep should be very difficult, but not "your max". Remember that you are also training martial arts so you don't want to over train. Also, you should definitely do your martial/sports skills training BEFORE you lift. If you lift first, you will be fatigued, you will be more injury prone, and you will be sloppy. Sloppy skills training gets embedded in the nervous system. It's not like some people think - that if you're fresh you'll somehow have sharp skills even though you don't train fresh. I used to do my martial training in the morning, weights at 5pm. On days where I had martial classes at night, I did not lift. Some weeks I only lifted twice. Other weeks I got all four sessions in. Your lifting is not etched in stone - if you miss some lift days because you have your martial training, then miss them. As long as you consistently strength train 2 - 4 times a week, you'll make gains. Best of luck.

  • @aaronkahn-bork1120
    @aaronkahn-bork11209 ай бұрын

    The simplest answer to the strength question is that muscle mass is only one factor contributing to strength - neurological adaptation is a huge part of it too. Some kinds of programming (in terms of sets, reps and overall volume) contribute to hypertrophy, some contribute substantially to strength but not hypertrophy. Even down to a specific exercise, for instance the bicep curl - someone who trains low reps with a high weight might look weaker but outperform someone who does lower weight and high reps. Huberman Labs has some great episodes on this.

    I think the answer to the last question about punches is connected to the thing you said about positions and variables: it’s partly guessing, partly reacting, and you try to create situations and positions where you have to deal with less and less variables in your head, so that you can react fast to most probable 3 things, rather than juggle 15 in your head. But it’s just how I think about it, I don’t really know shit, i just love fighting games and martial arts. 😅

    Coach I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. In my town we only have one person who teaches martial arts, and i have gone to all his classes for about a year and a half. He teaches karate and kickboxing, although in a very particular way. He always makes us drill techniques but never lets us spar. Very rarely, and i say like once every 2 months he does let us spar, but he does not make sure we have proper gear on, and he does not really watch us as much, so my opponents tend to go off out of control and i either get hurt or i have to just run around the room (my opponents are usually 20-30 kilograms heavier than me, so if i get hit its not gonna be good for my brain). He also teaches us that his way is the only way. We can never try a new stance or a new move, or anything new. When i asked about trying the philly shell, he went off on a tangent about how you can't block high kicks with a philly shell. He basically never lets us do anything that he does not like. Should i continue going or should i probably look at other cities for better coaches. Whenever i look at those "how to spot a bad coach/gym" youtube videos, he almost always fits all the categories listed. Its almost like hes running a mcdojo with his karate classes too, since everyone, and I mean everyone, gets a belt when they pay a fee of 20 euros. Even the people who dont know what theyre doing, they still get a new belt, and he doesnt teach anything meaningful.

    Okay, I know three posts in one video is nuts, but this video was a good one that just so happened to hit a lot of things I know something about. To the BJJ guy who learns a technique and then it is never taught again: I highly recommend you watch the Joe Rogan Podcast with Firaz Zihabi (I'm spelling it wrong). I believe he was George St. Pierre's trainer. He and Joe discussed that in most wrestling programs, the wrestlers will drill a move set over and over and over, then come back to the same move set next week, until it is cemented in their heads. BUT ... both of them commented that a lot of BJJ schools spend 10 minutes on one technique, then free roll for the next hour, and that this is bad. Rogan commented that at 10th Planet they don't do that - they trained like wrestlers. Sooooo ... maybe you need to find a new BJJ School. As a wrestler I saw this myself in several martial arts gyms. I was lucky that I never ended up in one that didn't drill and drill and drill, but that's probably because if I saw the school was lacking, I moved on.

    Sport specificity: HUGE. Story Time: When I got my first college degree in Exercise Physiology, going in I thought cardio was cardio and strength was cardio and strength - that simple. I'll never forget the day my professor told us, "So, when looking at cardiac output, generally it measures the same across activities. BUT ... have you ever noticed if you put an athletic runner on a bike they gas out faster? That's because they have the same cardio, but they have not developed economy of motion. To a runner looking to become a triathlete, bicycling is more fatiguing and swimming may as well be the moon." I laughed so hard at the analogy, but I also realized in that moment why I could wrestle for an hour but a 3 mile run made me want to jump off a bridge.

Just look up Naim Süleymanoğlu during the 1988 olympic games, where he did a 190kg clean and jerk at 60kg bodyweight (perhaps one of the most impressive lifts in history). He looked "reasonably athletic" at best, but he was one of the strongest people who ever lived.

Varga's hell of tank with the dutch guard and has not been KOed once i think, but Leduc's the king of lethwei and delivers powerfull headbutts.

    Big guys look good for people who don't understand strength. I worked with this big bruiser hulk guy with a little bit of fat. He was always having to take breaks to wipe his face take drinks etc. Another type of strength is skeletal. Runners have some of the strongest spines and weights can't replicate it the same.

    To be fair when it comes to Tae Kwon Do or the kicking people in the head sport if you want to call it that it's won via points alot of the times as opposed to actually knocking somebody out however knocking people out and strong kicks to the head can still happen and that might possibly create certain potential problems particularly if somebody is going too hard at too young of an age.

    I went to a Capoeira and Jujitsu gym and I paid for the private lessons and for an entire year all I learned was how to play the game (not how to apply these techniques in a actual confrontation) and my body looked worst than it did when I first I arrived. Should I have left my gym or did my trainer ripped me off? (I don’t know any takedowns or throws, my capoeira skill is amateur at best, and during my private lessons all my trainers wanted to teach me was jujitsu so I’m great at ground work as long if nobody hit me)

    Yeah, maybe they did. Private lessons might be a good complement to your regular training, if you can afford it. But it can't replace rolling and sparring. If your coaches told you so and you didn't listen, then it's on you. But if they let you think that private lessons _instead_ of regular training would be better for you than regular class, then it sounds like they conned you.

    @@matthewjenkins4559 Sorry to hear that. But you're wisened up and free to change gyms now. :-) And silver lining: I'd be surprised if the last year didn't teach anything. Fundamentals and athleticism aren't wasted. Even clubs with heavy focus on rolling all the time include fundamentals and PE. "Playing the game" is a good precursor to light sparring and positional drills. Even the bjj clubs who like to throw their noobs into the deep end of the pool on their first day, then complain about how those noobs don't learn techiques because they're so focused om the all-out physical effort of not getting immediately squashed and strangled. Not learning how to put the parts together is not the same thing as learning nothing. Better luck at the next place!

    When I was a teenager I had smaller guys beat me at arm Wrestling cause I sucked at arm Wrestling. However put us at a job like packing boxes of stuff from a truck to a room,I could work them into the ground. Back then I was better at that then the boys that were bigger and stronger than me. My bench press always sucked for some reason. I used to have a decent leg press. I've never been good at much of anything in a gym. But I used to be good at certain blue collar task. I guess different people are just made different for some reason. I have recently (couple weeks ago) stated back doing some moderate exercise at home. This may sound odd considering what this video is about, but I'm not trying to be an athlete. At age 50 that would be foolish. However maybe these video's will help my motivation to improve. Big thing I've always struggled with is eating habits. But at least I'm starting back with some exercise. After work it sometimes seems like the energy isn't the best.

The reason why lanky people succeed in mma is because it is significantly harder to fill out your frame. An example of a person who has long arm genetics+muscle sergei pavlovich, ciryl many others

    Still don't like the idea of bjj, it feels like the most useless way of self defense. Unless one on one in a ring. I so much rather stay on my feet. Way easier to turn tail and run when I feel situations become too dangerous. Also if you're weak looking but are completely fearless, the strong intimidating looking people tend to become very confused. Because "why is this little guy not afraid of me? What does he have planned or up his sleeve?" I might be too adhd to like bjj because it is so slow paced, and my autism has caused me to rage against having my movements limited. So might just hate grappling sports that try to take my freedom of movement away. It makes a friendly fight feel like a struggle for survival and I want to use my teeth and go for all the wrong spots because fuck sportmanship if you're panicking xD.

When I pointed out the now long history of documented, often video evidence of BJJ being very effective, I just get this blank stare, like if they couldn't mentally conceive how something could be true according to their own limited knowledge or experience it just couldn't be true...
