I worked up to double bodyweight back squat back in '22, and I worked up to a 1/2 bodyweight loaded pistol squat this year (170 lbs bw + 85 lbs dumbbell). I can tell you right now, the way I *FEEL* right now is hundreds of times better than how I felt last year. Better mobility, better leg dexterity, better balance, stronger joints, and less Central Nervous System fatigue after leg days. My core may be a bit weaker, and I've probably lost around 30lbs off my back squat; but the overall pros outweight the cons by an order of magnitude.

Awesome content guys! Been listening to your podcast a lot lately. I have recently started focusing on my mobility and flexibility. Immediately, I feel better off the mats! Recovery from training is so much better. My back and is less tense. So much better already and I'm barely getting going. Anyways I came to ask how much weight and reps would you recommend? I'm 160lbs and have a 35lb kettlebell. I'm brand new to the kettlebell thanks to you guys lol

Hey Randy, stoked you found us! Glad you're getting benefit from the training already - keep it up and the results will continue to come. In terms of KB weight - for which exercise specifically are you asking? Generally speaking, you already have a 16kg, so I would add a 12 and a 20kg and you're golden for a long range of exercises.

I’ll work on all but the pull ups at 39 and 285lbs lol my elbows don’t like them I can do them but it leaves my elbows flared up for weeks. 455 bench 700 deadlift and 585lb atg high bar squat coming into bjj with 25 years of powerlifting / strongman competition lol left super tight next to 0 flexibility but willing to try. I missed wrestling to much and now that my son can start it’s a family thing hopefully for years to come. I imagine zercher and hang/power / full cleans, strict and push press also have huge carry over

not knocking a great great vid, awesome awesome stuff and love the stuff you guys put out! But, a simple, and small, tip (no, not my small tip 🤏😅🤣 and yes, I do understand that this is not an in-depth dive in to all things TGU that you are doing here, merely skimming the surface, broad strokes and so on 😅) check and correct your form on the descent of the TGU compared to your ascent! In the kneeling position (before doing the "windmill portion") you are naturally hitting the right position on the way up (kneeling, windmill, turning knee, up) but on the way down you neglect turning your knee out before reverse-windmilling so to speak, which crowds your movement of hips creating a "clumsy" compact move in that position, hindering you from "sitting back" as your hip is kinda "closed" in that position if that makes sense (hard to put in words in a comment while new yearsy-drunk) Just a tip! all the best to you guys and keep up the awesome work! kind regards and a happy new year from a cold snowy sweden!!! /peter

JT is using a 16kg bell. If you're looking for a guide as to what weight to use, I would recommend having a 16, 20, 24kg bell handy and working through those.

Would I be correct to assume you’re a big advocate of unilateral training? Do you see strength gained from standard bilateral barbell back squats and DLs as not having the same carry over for BJJ? Thanks for your content btw.
@bulletproofforbjj
2 жыл бұрын
Yeah absolutely! We love uni lateral stuff. That said, bi-lateral work has a huge benefit as well and we don't think it shoulder be overlooked. I think bilateral strength should be the first area of focus, especially for less experienced athletes. Once a reasonable amount of strength has been developed there, the single sided stuff is a great place to dive into. Whats your thoughts?
@gnqan00

Unilateral movements are a lot less taxing imo. Unless your concerned with building absolute strength I wouldn’t even bother with bilateral movements for the most part. Personally when I’m training bjj a lot…i don’t like going to the gym and picking up heavy weights. I replaced all my usual workouts with single limb versions and i enjoyed that a lot more. It’s was less taxing mentally too. When you’re picking up heavy weight…you have to be focused. Going light weight single limb movement made me feel better mentally too while still challenging myself and getting stronger in other areas. My knee and hip health improved significantly too. To not be a hypocrite though…i will say that i recently started back training bilateral again…but that’s because I’m a 26 yr old brown belt. I never really use my athleticism even though I’m usually the most athletic one in my bracket. While I’m young and able to compete at brown/black belt level…I’d like to see just how good i can compete before i hit my 30’s. As i transition into my 30’s though…I’ll probably transition back to single limb movements.
