I love the "gi check" cue for the bench press! Never thought of it this way

[weneedtogoback]

Front squats and power clean will change your game. Also bentover rows are a great add to these suggestions. All athletic, dynamic movements on your feet (except bench)

Edward Snowden meets football player Hulk! Great video!

Damn galvao is built like a NFL running back ! That would be interesting to see how he would adapt to a training camp.

[FlexWheeler]

Galvao´s 1st exercise in the morning is a Test prop injection superseted with Acai!

I'm not a huge fan of his style of BJJ, but nobody can deny his accomplishments and btw he's an example of an amazing human being

Great vid! Never knew about the lifting straps !

[shooto]

Very good video, really good explainations!

[bryanjordan]

Wouldn't a full power clean be beneficial too? It basically combines the power clean pull and front squat. What is the benefit of separating the movements, besides to maybe do higher weights on your front squats?

Edit: alright, if I would have watched 10 seconds longer, i would have noticed that you answered my question. Just risk concerns, I understand.

Love these workouts! Could you share what sort of Rep x Set schemes we should be going for?

[TheRadivoje]

Old chicken, rice and broccoli plus some acai and allgood to go.

[albertocunha]

Very cool! Appreciate the detailed explanations

[aristolochene]

I believe coach Alex meant "eccentric" phase at 7:03

[robertchang]

snatch/clean pulls are great esp with straps.

[adriansrfr]

What's the benefit of front squat over regular squat in regards to bjj?
