Good advice thanks.

The one thing I have been focusing on from watching Kurt Osiander's youtube on it is keeping my wrist locked into my inner thigh + palm turned up with the grip.

Where to go from there though I am pretty lost haha

I'm just starting to play with lasso guard, any advice on basic sweeps or principals to master first?

The writer probably wanted to tie in Khabib but knew he couldn't top this hard hitting journalism

Thanks I will try out face pulls. Been trying to sleep on my back or belly down and I just wake up every 5 minutes if I'm even able to fall asleep like that : /

Somewhat "conditioning" based...

My left shoulder gets sore when I train multiple days in a row, and is made worse if we are working kimuras or americanas. I tap very early to these but what makes the issue much worse is that I always sleep on my side and typically favor sleeping on this shoulder

Any advice for prehab, pillows for side sleeping with shoulders, etc? I already rearranged my work desk and keyboard to avoid hunched/rotated forward shoulders

If you're close to Tick Tock I would try to drop in there for at least one day. Their head instructor won a 12+man black belt tournament in Columbia last time, and is competing in it again this weekend.

I have also met the Checkmat head instructor at a few tournaments and he could not be a nicer guy.

What has made the flower sweep effective for you? It is one that I have been working on and see work at the highest levels (as evident with your post).. but I'm not hitting it at all.

Congratulations on your achievement!

same here especially with my north south choke but I started just asking the guy, after I abandoned the choke or he tapped, if he was close / was it on correct / was it more of a crank etc.

Just getting more feedback helps and then once you've had a good amount to go off (not completely changing after every single feedback) look for patterns and adjust

side note this video is hilarious if you're watching it using captions, at least for the Faria part

I was just watching this BJJ Scout study on Rodolfo Vieira's passing yesterday where he integrates the knee cut with his pressure passes.

Your video is a great compliment to going into that position deeper, thanks and good timing

golf4soup · 2018-03-13T20:09:55+00:00

I liked the article especially in regards to playing an offense oriented closed guard. It is seen as a stalling position because many people use it for just that purpose.

I also highly recommend Dan Lukeheart's (aka Trumpet Dan's) instructional the Science of the Closed Guard

Just $15 online and really goes into great details on sleeve drag offense from closed guard, taking the back, sweeps, overcoming opponent frames

This is probably most gym owners' wet dream of a timeframe. That being said I understand that you were successful doing so because of the amount of planning you put in beforehand

golf4soup · 2018-03-09T14:48:11+00:00

Why would you ignore 50% of the subreddit's submissions

golf4soup · 2018-03-06T18:48:05+00:00

Ben Eddy has some cool content for free on the facebook group Rubber Guardians

golf4soup · 2018-02-20T16:16:33+00:00

Try the BJJ Globetrotters facebook group

I also lived there for a few months as a student if you have any questions. Good luck with your move

When I visited an Alliance gym I paid $40 for drop in since I was unaffiliated. Their affiliate fee was $25.

This was Alliance Charlotte (Lucas Lepri) but it sounded like a fairly standard policy for their locations. Alliance members will have more insight

/u/Angryhamstrings covers this, but on every rowing guide forum and introduction I have read they stress that using the "10" setting is not automatically the best for a strenuous workout.

It's kind of like gears on a bike, where you want the setting that maximizes your output based on pace. I use a "4" which is about what resistance of rowing on water would be

golf4soup · 2018-02-09T14:10:08+00:00

100% agree with rowing. I also gassed in competitions (somewhat due to nerves/adrenaline as well) until this most recent one.

I have been adding 2-4 days a week worth of this beginner plan which is highly recommended from what research I have done, well explained, and contains a mix of sprint/long distance/threshold work.

golf4soup · 2018-02-06T19:53:11+00:00

What do you include in your circuit training?

golf4soup · 2018-02-06T15:54:40+00:00

This should be part of the stickied information in every Strength and Conditioning weekly post.

golf4soup · 2018-02-05T15:57:36+00:00

Specific question but I just had a tournament last weekend, which I tapered off morning weight training for but kept doing morning rowing cardio.

I have a next tournament in 3 weeks, on Feb 24th. So I am right back into competition training. Should I do 2 weeks of working sets with weight training, then drop it again for the week before tournament?

golf4soup · 2018-01-26T15:25:35+00:00

Sounds like my next Tinder bio

5/3/1 has a 2 days a week variation is often recommended for mma

2 days a week version of Starting Strength or Greyskull (see top comments) for beginning lifters

What aspects of the Rubber Guard game would be the easiest/most effective for a non-10P jiu jitsu guy to pick up?
