Strength training for BJJ is something I get lots of questions about.
I have a hunch this is because my meathead-ness is expressed often in BJJ.
One exercise that is excellent but at the same time can be a bit of a bugger for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner is the Squat.
The Squat is such a strong exercise for the whole body with endless variations.
One reason the Squat is so problematic for people who do BJJ is their hip tightness. This is caused by the constant flexion on the mat and the inconsistency with stretching to loosen and exercises to strengthen extension.
In this video I share a great piece of equipment the Belt Squat machine. This is the type of squat I like to do and it’s easy on the lower back.
There are a number of different ways details and benefits I share in the video. But if you’re a BJJ athlete or practitioner who wants to build stronger legs but avoids the traditional back squat because of pain in the lower back.
I’d simply invite you to try this exercise if you can. I’ve found with a number of our members in my gym that they’ve been able to use it with no issues whatsoever and have received an overall strength benefit.
This allows them to get stronger and still be ready for their BJJ training.
Hope this video was helpful!

What do you do if you want to train BJJ but there are no Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gyms in your area? Are you just out of luck?
I get questions regularly from people who live in remote locations or smaller cities and are unable to find a gym to start their Brazilian Jiujitsu training.
So if you find yourself in one of these situations where there is no gym but you want to train. . . what do you do?
In this video I go off of a recent 1 on 1 coaching session I did via Skype where I worked with someone who was in the same situation.

He found the information helpful and so I share it in this video.
It basically involves a few parts.
1. Setup a dedicated space for your training. (I explain why this is so crucial)
2. Recruit some friends to train with.
3. Find a gym within a drivable distance to begin training session when you can make the trip to them. (Again I’ll explain why this is useful)
4. Lastly I touch on the idea of using video courses and instructional series that you can find.
If you’re in a situation where there is no BJJ gym near you. Then I hope this video is useful for you!

Yesterday I received a question from our friend who says he lacks the motivation to train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu some nights.
He says that a lot of times after a long day of work he struggles to get the energy together to workout and he’s wondering what I do to keep myself motivated.
In the video I share that I’ve never really needed motivation to workout. Whether it’s Brazilian Jiujitsu or lifting. I’ve never required motivation to train.
And this is because it makes me feel so good, and I don’t need to be motivated to feel good.
We do all sorts of things in our life that make us feel good. Eat, sleep, take pills, etc. And it requires little motivation most of the time to do them.
With exercise it’s no different. It makes me feel amazing after I’m done.
Even if I have a terrible training session or feel weaker than normal. I always feel good after the training is over.
I also share some details about a cool book I’m reading right now that explains all the chemicals that release in the brain and the physiological responses associated with exercise.
I mention the book in the video and you can check it out here.

If you’re struggling with motivation. Discipline is helpful. But enjoying what you’re doing and knowing that it’s going to make you feel better is always helpful.
Talk to you next time.
