Really appreciate these videos man! Keep it up :D
Chad, the strength and conditioning wizard, thank you for the knowledge.
Thanks Julian. Hope you're doing well buddy.
This video is gold. Thanks Chad!
Absolutely love the BJJ vids Chad, keep em comin'!
Thank you so much for this premium content 👌🏽
Great info, thanks Chad!
Glad it was helpful
I wonder if there is meaningful difference between a) just doing a pullup and pulling as explosively as possible and b) actually doing the clap/letting go of the bar
Thanks for the vid!
Radio Schizo the actual clap, no, but pulling fast enough for your hands to leave the bar will be significantly more explosive than just pulling fast. There will be some deceleration if you stay connected to the bar, while there is all acceleration to leave the bar (same idea with explosive pushups, jumps, mb throws vs their comparable barbell movements).
Got ya, thanks!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
01:51 🏋️ *Explosive Strength: Clapping pull-ups and single-arm rope rows are effective for developing explosive strength in the back, crucial for quick passes and sweeps in Jiu-Jitsu.*
05:06 🏋️ *Maximal Strength: Bent-over barbell rows and dumbbell rows are foundational exercises for building maximal strength in the upper back, lats, and rhomboids, contributing to Jiu-Jitsu success.*
09:35 🏋️ *Strength Endurance: Higher reps in exercises like pull-ups and rope pulls, emphasizing grip-intensive movements, are essential for building strength endurance in the back, beneficial for sustained effort in Jiu-Jitsu.*
11:01 🔄 *Injury Prevention: Incorporating IYT exercises helps improve scapular mobility and stability, crucial for injury prevention in the shoulders during intense back training and Jiu-Jitsu sessions.*

Otavio seems like a pretty nice guy ! Besides being a great warrior.
Super nice guy. Very mean jiu jitsu style haha
What about lower back training and injury prevention?

Deadlift and be able to touch your toes lol
thank you man :)
What is your opinion about mixing isometric and strength exercises in same training session for example: doing some pull ups with weights and deadlift - 3 reps (strength), and after that holding gi or doing some other isometric exercise. Please answer
Hey Chad/ JTS , you guys need to check out the Kimono Grip. It perfectly mimics pulling a Gi as it's made from actual Gi material with a clip on it so you can attach it to any cable machine in the gym. It's a fantastic piece of equipment for jiujitsu players
It's not useful. You don't want your strength development to be limited by your ability to grip a strip of fabric.
@@Delta3angle this makes no sense... its 1 part of your training and a very effective one. I'm not saying to only use the kimono grip but that's what your implying. This is like saying "dont train smaller muscle groups because it won't be useful".
Do as many as you can with the grip tool then if you’re grip is the limiting factor switch to pull-ups without that simple.
We used to throw a gi over the bar and do pull-ups off the sleeves for the same effect. I also recommend fat grips for your accessory work. I thought they were kinda gimmicky at first but after a fair assessment I’ll say they work pretty well.
Oh he mentions the gi at 9:00 commented before I finished the video.
Chad, what’s a good pull up to clapping pull up ratio? Like, if I can do 8 regular pulls, how many clapping pull ups should I be able to do?
Probably zero
Dude it will be more corrrlated to how many wheight you can pull.... like wheighted pull ups
Awesome video, @Chad Wesley Smith. Regarding Bent Over Rows, would Trap Bar Rows be as effective as the Barbell version?
Yea thats fine.
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems thank you.
Hi Chad,
I was wondering why u don't use the hip in the explosive pulling motions, kipping pull up's as exapmple. It seems to me that a lot of pulling in this sport is generated bij the hip, especialy when standing up.
Kind regards,
JB
My two cents, they are focusing on developing explosiveness through the upper body. Isolating it from the hips accomplishes this.
Adding on to what -Skinwalker- said, kipping pullups are harder to teach the form to an athlete, this can lead to injuries. A similar thing was done with the leg training video for BJJ where the trap bar is used instead of the straight bar.
I hope that in the future Chad will somehow decide he wants to play ice hockey and start dedicating videos to strength training for hockey.
Okay I havn't checked any videos here for quite some time. How much frickin weight did Chad lose?
