When I first got into Jiu Jitsu, I got to roll with Otavio at his Huntington Beach school. I came from a background of competitive weight lifting and football so I’m no stranger going against strong opponents. I can say that even at 250lbs and very strong, Otavio was incredibly powerful and went right over me. Even though some of those weights may seem light, when he is able to use his body, his strength is incredible. Good luck Otavio, God bless from Houston.
Funny most Jiu Jitsu players say they don't use strength that it's all about flow 🤣 Strength and conditioning is the most important part of any combat sport or physically demanding sport! Conditioning is your best hold!
Using concurrent periodization can definitely be useful for combat athletes because there are so many qualities they need to develop. Doing true Max Effort (ME) work in the traditionally understood 'Westside' sense for BJJ guys (Football players, wrestlers, throwers etc) is generally not the best idea because it comes at such a high fatigue cost (especially neural fatigue) that will detract from their energy to practice their sport, which is the higher priority for success.
Kron Gracie - running, biking, swimming. Owns Otavio on the mats. Marcelo Garcia - "just do more jiu jitsu". Owns Kron on the mats. Oof (because I'm all about S&C off the mats).
@DarthTerminatti what might be funnier is responding to a comment from 3 yrs ago lol.... I lift weights, bro.....almost every serious trainee does. It's their focus that matters. Anything more than 2x/wk full-body for a pro is just cutting into skill work.
Gigachad I mean sure, teaching him to transmit force into completely vertical movement make occasionally help him out on the feet. More likely, having strongly healthy shoulders that can work well through as large a range of motion as possible is going to extend his training life.
Ehh maybe, probably not really. He already knows how to bench press, so right away it has an advantage. Holding the bar in the front rack, isn’t particularly easy when your wrists, elbows and shoulders have been getting cranked on daily for 2 decades. Bench press and push press would both be general developmental exercises for BJJ so that’s even.
Your well prepared bud ! Remember all the hours u out in ! Allso this may sound like bad advice but try not to care to much LOL . Reason why I say this is Bc when u don’t put so much stress on yourself many people actually do BETTER than when they overload them selfs with worry ! Hope u did good and best of luck to in your next competition

Otavio is terrible to train with. He only knows 1 speed and his pressure is insane.
The videos on S&C for bjj have been great! Keep em coming
Thanks! Will do
I just did my first workout with the Bjj ai app. I'm excited and ready for the next workout.
Hope you like it!
I wish I had that gym in my garage 😭

Conditioning is your best hold!
It obviously helps to be stronger
Fr technique is more important but explosive power is to.
What's your opinion on using the conjugate system for BJJ athletes who are competing on an extremely regular basis?

Will you be adding the zercher carries to the bjj app?
É Brasil! Parabéns pelo treinamento! I liked very much!
Manoel Pereira thank you

Kron Gracie also does strength training by lifting weights 😂

@@NathanAGoss I thought you'd get a kick out of it. 😂
Add some fat grips to every bar. Make every opponent think "holy shit" everytime that hand grabs.
Dude you’re a fucking tank
"General organism strength..." I can hear the James Smith type of speech in that sentence.
Harrison Caton most definitely
Juggernaut Training Systems bring him on jugglife
Wouldn't push press be better for BJJ?
Sure, but ultimately it won’t really make a difference
@@stevena8719 big* difference, it will make a small one though.
