Could you guys maybe do some videos on strength markers for different sports? For example, as a distance runner I am curious how far I should take my squat, or my single leg squat. Thanks in advance!

[adamrutherford]

Thanks gents, doing a dissertation on S&C for BJJ and this is awesome

[danedavidson]

I'm half asleep and I went to the abstract and read the bodyweight as 85.7 ± 10.6 kg and the bench press as (113.2 ± 20.4 kg) and I thought yeah that's reasonable then I realised that was the squat...

[zachariahtaylor]

Has there been a paper review of active Judo competitors? Really curious on the differences between to similar cloth cut sports to have different approaches to success.

[MisterHui]

Non-ranked, perhaps no-gi/submission wrestling?

I do kickboxing, at 77kg bw I squat around 120kg for a 3x3 below parallel and deadlift 160kg for a 3x3. I know its individualized but can you talk about general standards for different bw and sports?

[xaverdamien]

You said doing 4 sets of each major exercise is enoug.
Does that mean doing literally only 4 sets in a week with a frequency of 1x per week per movement pattern or 2x week 2 sets or 2x week 4 sets.
I would say that doing 4 sets in a week even if they are very hard sets would be very little especially if that's means doing it only 1x per week.

[idk]

Should i start doing speed work like speed squats if i havent built a strong squat yet i only have 1.5x bw squat atm what do you think

[deanpaulson]

I have seen a world super heavy weight(140 kg ) Judo medalist unable to jog 400 m for a cooper fit test mile Vo2 test ! Literally unable to keep jogging, also could only do 3 pull ups ! It's not uncommon in grappling plus 200 lbs athletes to have mediocre base strength levels !

It's ok, BJJ was made for nerds like me =)

Genuinely not trying to comment bomb on your videos with negativity but as someone who’s been grappling for nearly 15 years these videos while correct in some ways are way off and quite annoying in other ways.

So while “numbers” for BJJ guys may not be that far off people walking in off the street. The actual reality of a person walking in off the street and a purple belt is a million miles apart in term of cardio and strength for BJJ, the static strength alone would be a world apart and the cardio for BJJ, well, we all know how quickly new guys has out.

Also, you guys are traditional S+C coaches who are trying to add the same metrics to BJJ as sports that have extremely linear progress. You don’t add numbers to BJJ you don’t take seconds off, it’s closer to skateboarding than sprinting.
It’s a creative process, the sport doesn’t progress via Squatting it progresses via problem solving and creativity.
Do a lot of BJJ guys juice, yes, do a lot of club level BJJ guys who don’t juice still do well in competition. Yes they do.

I don’t want to sound condescending but if you’re going to continue with BJJ as practitioners then you’ll progress faster by studying technique, concepts of movement and problem solving than just thinking if you’re stronger you’ll get that blue belt a month sooner.

Much like, bouldering, skateboarding, breakdancing, boxing and many other sports they do, even if you disagree live outside of the normal realms of linear progress and traditional athletic metrics and that’s why it’s not always the most athletic practitioners that get the best results.

It’s a martial art, and the art is just as important as the martial.
