In Japan I once travelled to Osaka and was training in a very well known gym. The owner of the gym was really friendly because I told him that I follow him on instagram and always left a comment. He was really happy to finally meet and asked how I trained for Judo. So I explained and he told me for my size and age to have the thickness and solid muscle like a bull. As if the muscle is thick and so full I won't be injured and it will be functional. He told he that I'll be less likely to be injured and will be able to absord a lot of the throws. He told me to add volume and thickness. He stressed to look at the skeletal structure as well. Since then I never anymore Judo injuries except for my knees. That's it. Mr Saruyama worked with a lot of Judo athletes but wouldn't say which ones out of respect. He really helped me out.

I can't believe you guys didn't mention the most important part. Its something called ''Invisible Juice-Jitsu''. Invisible in that you don't want anyone to know that you're taking the Juice. Gordon Ryan is a master of Invisible Juice-Jitsu.

Basically: improving strength.
Improving work capacity
Improving power

They’re jacked because they do 3 things….
1. They eat Clen
2. They Tren everyday.
3. Anavar give up.

Rhadi and chadi both have so much knowledge and so articulate. This is judo gold

for recreational lifters, i think its interesting to use all of the tatics in your daily training. For example you are a calisthenics guy: day 1 can be hypertrophy day 5 sets of push ups, pull ups, squats, and abd work until failure. Other day you can do power work, like four sets of speed rows, speed dips, jump squat. And the last day you can put all exercices into a circuit and bang them until you have nothing left.

I love this man! He started from the way way in the beginning.

[Bigborian]

I really enjoyed his timeline methodology. Strength/hypertrophy phase > Power phase > power conversion phase. Spending a good amount of time in each of the phases and then peaking sounds like a good cyclical approach. Although most people aren't shooting to go to the Olympics but for the average locally competitive person these timelines can be shortened to maybe 8-12 weeks per phase depending on when they have their competition.

This was truly amazing. Now that I'm becoming an old man I can pick a weight for my body that feels good and do whatever exercises satisfy my vanity, but that doesn't mean I have to stop learning

[amwaj]

Not the answer I think you initially asked for but it was the answer we needed to hear...
New sub and hope to find more content from your guests.

I’ve always wondered if the muscle structure differed based on the grappling style. It seems like wrestlers are more jacked, Judoka are more solid, and Jiu-Jitsu folks are lean. is this due to specific style needs or traditional training methods

[ianj]

Probably the best video on the subject I've seen. Dr Ferguson is 100% the real deal! How he structures time management and how to prepare your body is absolute science!

[thefightphysician]

I honestly would have been more interested in the answer to how does a 31 year old amateur judoka best train in the weight room. I hope they discuss this at a later stage.

Rhadi the morote gari Fergi. Loved his aggressive style of judo. A true representative to counter IJF. Loved this interview

[mrblaque]

Amazing video 👏 thank you for the upload brother Chadi 🙏 and thank you Dr. Ferguson 🙏 it’s strength training knowledge like this that I need to help me recover right now 💯

[jamtmann]

Dr. Ferguson's scholarship is of the first order...and he is a complete badass 👍

[funknotik]

For Periodization related to training applied to combat sports, Firas Zahabi of tri star gym in montreal has to be one of the best. He trains the athletes where it's maximum training/conditioning but minimal wear and tear on the joints. When I trained bjj that was my go to guy for proper training. I'm impressed to hear from Dr Ferguson that kind of periodization for olympic Judo athletes, it seems extremely difficult, but that is the olympics he is talking about. Probably like 1% of elite guys are able to go to that level.

Muscle density > muscle mass. Happy Mardi Gras!

[vids]

Most of us are not jacked (lots of muscles mass) many are ripped (lean). Those who are jacked are genetically gifted that way, or on steroids. Steroids are rampant in competitive bjj.
