An idea for a review or just for your own enjoyment: a Japanese judoka called Takeshi Sasaki. Supposedly he practices a lot of bjj alongside judo. He's been a monster for years, an example of a well-rounded grappler who is more than happy to engage on the ground unlike many competitive judokas. Even against other newaza specialists who practice bjj. And strong as a bull, does well in all japan tournaments (free weight) and just manhandles people. And there's also some gym training footage of him, maybe a bit unusual since he was pulling cars like a strongman and doing pushups into backflips. He's just a very unusual person standing out from the crowd in what he is able to pull off. Somewhat unrelated but since I mentioned judokas who do bjj, a Brazilian olympic medalist Flavio Canto is somewhat legendary on that as well. His rolling is beautiful, so smooth and he used to be a delight to watch on tatami as well in judo matches (matches against him were the reason why US medalist Travis Stevens decided to learn and try to master newaza, ground techniques). People know him by Canto choke among other things. In case you weren't aware of him, you might get a kick out of his grappling being bjj practicioners yourself. He used to practice with bjj players all the time during his competitive judo career, but he didn't want to compete because he disliked the gym rivalry thing, he didn't want to represent any single gym if I remember correctly. He then founded a place for kids to learn judo where you could leave your past and poor origins behind and become a respectable member of society and a good athlete. It was his dream to give back and help people who didn't have the same opportunities. Just a wonderful person altogether.
How to improve tight hip flexors? I seriously think that’s a problem for me. Side note: when I started watching Sika years ago I couldn’t squat 140. Now I can nearly front squat 140 😎
That's prob the way to go, lowbar once per week to use heavier loads and stay familiar with the competition form and high bar 1-2 other days/week to still work your legs while saving your wrists/shoulders/elbows from getting torn up by doing lowbar too much
what are some good accesories for a highbar powerlifting squat? Ive done front squats before, but didnt feel much benefit from it. Should I lowbar squat as an accesory?

If an ego lift you pushing the boundaries pretty awesome keep it awesome
Bulgarian split squats combined with front squats and heavy clean and jerks are sooo good for sprinters!!
Good morning’s and a barbell back extension with a back rack help me feel the right tightness in that spine position
Good video!
Can you please do a video on elbow issues and how to solve them,
specifically the inside of the elbow.

Couch stretch, 2 mins each side
@@MrSpicabooo thanks!
Is it bad to squat 6 days a week?
Bad for the bar
Yeah why aren’t you squatting all 7 🤨🤨🤨
@@felix_is_small what did god do on the 7th day when he made earth ? 🤔
Heavy it probably is. If your recovering fine ,every other day until you start to get stronger and fatigue is better
@@jay17737 he squated 300kg to full depth, it’s in genesis im sure
What if i highbarsquat and lowbar squat ?
That's prob the way to go, lowbar once per week to use heavier loads and stay familiar with the competition form and high bar 1-2 other days/week to still work your legs while saving your wrists/shoulders/elbows from getting torn up by doing lowbar too much
@geoffkaminski that was kinda the plan but only gighbar 1x

Try leg press and hack squat. I also high bar squat for powerlifting.
@@fazzolarijames A man of culture I see
Heel elevated squat, highbar good morninga. If u add 25lbs to your front squat i guarantee it'll transfer. Hi a lot of abs too
@@alexwilliams5587 thanks!
