Thanks so much for coming to the gym, man! It was an honor to get in a little weight session with ya, and you’re welcome any time! Great tips and advice all around! 💪 but I still say…get back on those deadlifts 😜

Awesome video, glad you guys had the ability to link up. Always cool to see how somebody's competitive endeavors are born through strength training. It's hard work behind the scenes!

Great video guys! Love the mix of weight lifting tips and how they apply to jiu-jitsu. Keep it up!

No offense Tyler but this video should really be titled something more like "Lifts I do for Jiu Jitsu". It's great that you put on body weight that met your goals, but almost nothing in this video has to do with gaining weight, just general lifts that you think apply best to jiu jitsu movements. As others have said, lifting to specifically gain muscle mass typically involves lower reps of higher weight, the exact opposite of what you're saying in this video. Lastly, and I sincerely mean no offense by this, it's pretty clear that the 40 pounds you gained was mostly in body fat. Putting on anything more than 10 pounds of pure muscle in a year is virtually impossible under optimal conditions.

Tom is the goat. Great editing with jujitsu clips interspersed with each lift to show applicable scenarios.

Good stuff. You have answered the question I had been thinking about as far as strength training goes. My main focus is pull-ups, but I should be doing more leg work (obviously)

Nice vid, love the collab

Excellent video Tyler!

Tom is so charismatic about bodybuilding. It’s hard not to feel motivated after watching him. Keep up the great work!

Been working a lot on my mobility and building up my strength. Thinking of looking into jiu jitsu when I’m feeling ready and not like I’m going to break myself.

Great video. Interesting re high reps/ lower weight. So often you hear about 5 by 5 with high weight etc. I’ve ended up 3x8 on deadlifts and military press on day1 and then chins and dips on day 2.

Great info! Core is king 👑

I started going to the gym again just over 4 months ago and I've pretty much been doing what you showed in this video, concetrating on exercise movements that I use in BJJ. I've been doing 3 x10 reps sets for each exercise.

A guy from my school had to roll against Tom in a Grappling Industries meet. He found a photo online of Tom looking ripped. It got in my guy's head so much that he never stood a chance. Tom won that match in the gym as much as on the mat.

what a quality content. thank you!

I would love for this to become a regular segment 🙏🏼🥋💪🏼

This is awesome. I suspected this. I’m a 43 yr old, 5’5 no- gi purple belt. I was down to 158 from 235-240lbs over a couple of years. I decided about a year ago the high reps were probably more beneficial. Also I started looking at the most active BJJ muscles and muscle groups. I do a boat load of lats, and crazy back and pulling muscles. I do different grips on the same muscle groups. Overhand and underhand. Now for functional chest for BJJ is the decline press or dips, particularly for shrimping. I do (3) sets of 20 on all exercises. Today 11 months doing this change I’m 170-174lbs depending on water or food intake.

Awesome video. Thanks. How many reps and sets do you recommend? Any light you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Great vid, and some solid advice, but hopefully we'll see a follow-up where you follow the Galvao plan. We've seen you natural, and now we want to see Tyler at 225 lbs, looking like Lesnar, with a guillotine that beheads white belts.

Thats a really cool vid!

Great video. 1 critique: Stretch Under Load = Growth. Always use full depth and prioritize the stretch for best growth. 👍

Would be cool to hear more about your diet and what foods you ate most to stay in a caloric surplus over that same period. The lifting part is often the easiest for people trying to put on weight (myself included in the past) compared to eating enough food.

I'm on a 5x5 strength program. Squat 3 times a week. I walk around at like 185 and diet to 181.5 for IBJJF. I used to diet to 160 and was frail and looked like I just came out of a concentration camp. The extra weight is nice.

He's "thicc", but still only 175. Is Tyler like 5'2''?

Cable flies and dips would be a great addition to your routine. Dips are the squats of upper body

Nice vid!! I was skipping leg day, not cause I wanted to, but bcse every time I would look over, it was taken (squat rack, leg press, etc)… now, I’ll ask or just wait there like a weirdo after this video!! 💪

Power cleans, deadlifts, squat, bench overhead press. That’s all you need, might want pulldowns or pull-ups, but a heavy pull from deadlift works that also, but I like the lay pulldowns.

love the vid! 7:10 old mates fans are spinning backwards. please flick the switch on the fan to make then blow are properly :)

Music at 1 min or so was not unnoticed 💪

did you have any problems with somewhat decreased mobility in some areas?

Man. I’m a 150lb purple belt and damn if I dont have a hell of a time with those 200+ lb people. I need to work out lol…

when are you going to spangel jordan? you need to be the first person on his channel to tap him out 🙏🏼

Cool vid dude! Being strong is my best bjj attribute unfortunately 😂

This guys finally upped his Lucky Charms portions. Well done...

What do you guys think of Zercher or belt squats, and Trap bar DL?

You wont get alot of size by doing 30 reps per series. Aim around 15 so that your last rep makes your eyes bleed. All that effort however will not do you any good if you dont put in the time in the kitchen, aim for 2gr of protein per kg od body mass and aim for a 300 calorie surplus per day. That way you avoid getting fat and ideally put on lean muscle mass. Its not easy and it wont go fast, but its gonna stick around long term. Also, if youre doing weights and JJ then you really need to be mindfull of full range of motion be it squat deadlift press or any other excersise. If you do not, your muscles stiff out, become shorter over time and tear more easily when under stress. Peace

Damn, Tyler! Save some abs for the rest of us!

I salute anyone in the bjj community who gets in the weight room. I lift 7 days a week 😂, but shifted my entire workout to 10 stations, 10 sets of 10 for speed....PUSH/PULL/GRIPS. Eventhough i use bjj for crosstraining only...( to keep lean)...my push/ pull workout is legit. I super set every push with a pull....and vice versa and end each round with 5 pull-ups...that ends up being 50-100 pull-ups 7 days a week. 205lb benchpress ( 10 sets of 10) Super set 100lb dumbbell press Immediate lat pull Incline benchpress Triceps Shoulder press Flys Dips Rows 5 pull-ups 10 sets of 10 Leg day is 5 sets of 20.....5 stations....100 pull-ups, 100 bicep curls, 100 triceps. Happy training fellas

Sounds like your experiment was a......... Success 😉 I'll see myself out

just a question , why would you want to gain 40pounds? i would love to lose 20 :)

What about using a leverage squat machine? Thx

Plus eat ptotein & get decent sleep. (I only eat once a day & still weigh 100kg!)

What are "high" reps?

my man got SWOLE

Imagine if Karelin trained BJJ instead. Soul crushing strenght

double cheeked up on a Wednesday

Do you have to look over your shoulder when birds fly by? We wouldn't want you to get snatched up.

what 135 pounds he said?, i weight the same at 5'6'' being relatively thin, how tall is this guy?

Is that your wife filming? Congrats on the baby

Very nice transformation 👏 Also glad that you and @tomlazorik3906 got this video in together!!

When I squat my lower back makes a hissing noise

Would you say that you gained strength and power in proportion with the weight gain?

You looked ripped!…I did the same, but, ultimately, ripped is where you want to be, not really big.

Did you just say he “jacked himself”?

How many incline press reps, though? Lol

I prefer the deadlifts more than squats. It feels more natural.

You put Gordon as an example but I don't think he trains legs

fire vid better than b-team lifting vid

I need to lose 40# for my martial arts training.

I dislike ppl just do upper lower or full body it is 6 session a week to jsut hit the same muscles twice when you could got 3 times a week with full body and have every muscle hit at least twice

So basically, I ate a fuck ton.

What’s your height?

Closed guard… CLOSED GUARD!! C’mon buddy admit it’s real…

lmao that face 3:23

40 pounds naturally yea ok tren harder …. I guesss … lol 😭😭😭

very helpful lets get jacked

Find a weight where you feel good. Mentally and physically. That’s my best advice.

Anyone got a decent Push-Pull-Legs program they're willing to give out to the BJJ community here? :P

eat a lot and sleep between trainings. do nothing else. I gained 15 lbs in 2 months.

🍑🍑

You are still short tho better luck next reincarnation!

Beware of the “butt wink” when squatting.
