Dober Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hello, I'm taking BJJ as you can tell from the topic and was wondering if there is specific exercises I should be doing at home. I have access to a full weight training home gym, I can job, bike, run, whatever. Also looking for some nutritional advice. Thanks.

BonnyBoy Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Eliminate caffeine from your diet, I remember reading this somewhere, I think it's because caffeine slows you down. Not sure. You might want to consider investing in Beyond Brawn, which you can get from https://www.hardgainer.com , I've been told it's the best $25 you'll ever spend, but I can't vouch for it yet. I'm buying the book, and will make a weight training routine for myself, 'cause there is a guy I roll with who's only 73kgs and thanks to lifting weights he has crazy strength which allows him to pull me around like a rag doll in his guard. Swimming seems like it would be really good cardio for your endurance, but nothing will take the place of rolling, it's a different kind of fitness. A strong neck will also serve you well, especially for bridging and getting out of positions. You can do exercises like the neck bridge, but I've heard it's a dangerous exercise to do. There are always two choices, two paths. One choice is easy and its only reward is it's easy.It takes sacrifice to be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
