This video has inspired me to begin progressively overloading arguments with my wife.

Periodizing arguments with your significant other sounds brilliant. "sorry babe, todays a low stress argument day. Can we pick this up next week on my Heavy argument day?"

Man its cool seeing all this recent crossover between the powerlifting and martial arts communities

*The beginning of the vid with the preview had me thinking Alex Jones learned to Roll.*

Powerlifting and Jiu Jitsu??? Love it!!!!

Excited for this series brother, thanks for taking the time to put all of this content out for folks Osss...

Dude, this is pure gold! I also started as a lifter and then doing BJJ now. I've been reading about you and JTS since 2012. It's really cool to see that you also transitioned to BJJ whilst still lifting. OSS!

Thanks Chad! Your info is gold! Really appreciate your time, effort and thought that goes into these videos.'

I have been looking for info on this for a while. Cheers for the upload

Thank you thank you for this! I lifted weights for years but took a break from structured lifting because, you know, life happens, and I started training bjj about 9 months ago and have been looking for how to organize the rest of my fitness schedule. Thank you again for the help! 💪🏽

This is exactly what I've been needing.

Such a great video with excellent information brother! I’m not even a BJJ practitioner and I watched every minute! I’m a coach/competitor in kettlebell sport and the way you varied intensities, depending on where the athletes priorities were, was excellent 💪. Cheers ❗️

Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us. Looking forward to the next videos.

Szats strength and you are living my dream. Strongman and submission grappling.

My mind is BLOWN! Thank you so much for taking the time to lay all of this out. Coming from a powerlifting background- the heavy lifting is a lot of strain on my joints, but I REALLY want to start BJJ, so I’ve been super confused about how I’d introduce ANOTHER stressful activity in my training. P.S congrats on your feats in powerlifting! Super happy for you. Respect

Thank you for this valuable information.

OH YEA! bring it on!

I’ve been waiting for this video for ages!

Been waiting on a video for this. Thank you.

This was super helpful. Thanks so much, coach!

This was so helpful. Thanks!!

YES!! MORE JIUJITSU CENTERED TRAINING!!!!

I’m also an ultra heavyweight Gracie Barra blue belt! Cheers! I was into lifting before I got into Jiu jitsu. Competing in my first IBJJF tourney soon! Great video and content.

Thank you so much for making this.

By far the most important video in the playlist. Absolute gold mine!

This is great info. Our bjj dojo only has classes twice a week. So I do 3 S&C sessions a week. Active recovery on the weekends. The days after bjj are moderate to light lifting and cardio. Being 45 y/o with a family it’s hard to fit it all in. It’s taken years to find this groove.

The vid i needed. Got my Follow. Looking forward to further content

thanks for this vid Chad

Yes Chad! This is what the people need!

Love your content and you look great man ! All the best brother !

I'm hype for these BJJ videos - I'm a taekwondo guy but on the large scale like this the principles still apply so it's great!

Thanks for the video Chad. Helped me gauge if I was in the right track with my training. Got 6wks to my first comp. dropped 8 pounds of weight currently on weight for my comp. Focussed on structuring my weekly training with high and low intensity days. Active recovery has been swimming and sauna. Weight training starts tomorrow.

Great stuff, sir!

This is awesome, thank you

Love this! More Bjj and Lifting videos please!

Thank you! It would great if you could add the example schedules in the video description.

Great and informative video! Thank you !

thank you for this!

Thanks so much for sharing this content!

Would love a vid on exercise selection for bjj, like i feel like curls and other exercises i wouldnt rly prioritise as a powerlifter are actually really useful for bjj, maybe more so than bench etc... also higher rep rangers have felt good for my jits compared to power/strength lower rep training.

Great topic. Good content and presentation. Helpful. I liked the interspersed video clips and I’m glad you didn’t try to add background music, which is simply distracting.

Great video!

very nice video, thanks for sharing

As a grappler who does weight lifting also, I personally think 3 main lifts strength training is important, but even though i don't do it, I think calisthenics, gymnastics or kettle bells would be most suited for it than barbell training

Great and useful Info thanks

Periodizing arguments!!! Lol!!! Love it!!

I really appreciate this Chad. Thank you.

Solid state GOLD !

Chad, I am looking forward to seeing where you take this. I am new to the BJJ world and have a background in CrossFit. Learning how to balance both will be a great help. Great content as always. Thank you!

Love it. Keep em coming. Love to see a collab with brian alsruhe or the natty professor

yes this is great info

jits & lifting? subbed!

Would be nice to have some post-workout stretching programed in after the core workout

Putting this content on your podcast would be awesome. I don't watch long videos.

Injury mitigation should be a top priority for all grapplers. Specifically neck/spine, back, shoulders, knees. As a strength conditioning coach at a D1 University...All programming should include a large amount of pre-hab.

Great video thanks

Thanks! Would love you to talk about how you manage to protect your ears.

Bodybuilding Grapplers 💪🏽 🥋

theres a gracie barra center that opened next to my place 500m down the street im already on powerliftingAI might have to give it a try :)

Awesome 👍

I’m stoked to have CWS as a resource on this topic. Less stoked for the day I walk into a comp as an ultra heavy and see I’m going up against him.

Cmon man we need the JTS folks to do some seminars in India. Mike Israetel is coming down in December. We need the wisdom of CWS and Max Montana.

Very good video!

Really good video

Chad, please please do a video on flexibility/mobility for Jiu Jitsu! As someone coming from powerlifting, this is definitely an issue.

2:00 you can thank me later

when you are trying to impress someone at the gym 10:25

What a great quality video! Do i need to combine high intensity intervall training with my high intensity strength training, on the HI Strength & Conditioning days? for example. High intensity squats and bench, followed by 3 sets of high intensity sprints. Thanks!

I may have missed it but is there a reason you choose training BJJ before S&C? Over the last year I have taken a liking to lifting pre BJJ to go ahead and fatigue myself so that I am somewhat forced to be more technical and not relying on strength, if that makes any sense.

Been waiting for this coach, I come from a powerlifting background and do BJJ and wrestling so this will help

More video please

“You probably can’t Periodize arguments with your girlfriend!” Hahaha.

Oh this is awesome! I gotta ask, do you think this applies equally well to Judo? I've gotten into Judo in the last few months and my lifting has gone totally down the crapper. BJJ and Judo are of course extremely similar, so I'm *assuming* this probably fits both sports pretty much equally.

Great video! You guys should do More videos like this for More running oriented sports.

How do you choose the splits and exercise for BJJ?

I watched some of your videos and was thinking "man, I wish there was someone that explainns strenght training that well, but in the context if BJJ", and then I see this video lol 🤟

15:25. Kimura from top half. LOOOOOL.

Great information, thanks Chad. On the high intensity days since the S&C training session is only meant to be 30-45 min can I squeeze in some high intensity aerobic exercise either before or after?

SUBSCRIBED AND LIKED!

You look like you’re in great shape!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 🥋 For serious competitors, organizing a training week involves combining high-intensity Jiu Jitsu and strength conditioning on the same day to allow for subsequent lower-intensity days. 🏋️‍♂️ High-stress activities in strength training include maximal effort sprints, jumps, throws, and primary lifting at 85% or higher weights done to failure. 🔄 Medium-intensity stressors include specific Jiu Jitsu training, submaximal effort lifting, and accessory work for smaller muscle groups. 🩹 Low-intensity stressors encompass drilling, controlled rolling, aerobic capacity training, and accessory work done away from failure. 📅 Tailoring the training week depends on factors like the athlete's level (serious competitor, recreational athlete), training background, and non-training stressors. 🌟 Recovery is facilitated by strategically placing high, medium, and low-intensity days in the week and considering non-training stressors. 🔄 For recreational athletes, the week structure is similar to serious competitors but with fewer double sessions and less overall training volume. 🚴‍♂️ Incorporating relaxation into recovery, such as engaging in enjoyable aerobic activities, contributes to overall well-being and training effectiveness. 🔄 When organizing Jiu Jitsu and strength training, consider consolidating high-intensity days to allow for subsequent lower-intensity days, facilitating recovery. 🏋️‍♂️ High-intensity strength training doesn't necessarily mean long workouts; it can involve one or two big exercises with some accessory work, completing in 30-45 minutes. 🌐 Tailor the schedule to your daily routine and fitness levels, recognizing that shorter, focused workouts can be effective for both Jiu Jitsu and strength training. 🏋️‍♂️ For serious competitors, high-intensity days may include both challenging Jiu Jitsu and strength training sessions, emphasizing recovery on subsequent days. 🕰️ Quick, efficient workouts, even 20-30 minutes, can be beneficial for those juggling work, family, and training commitments, providing quality work in a short time. 🔄 Recreational athletes can adapt the concepts, adjusting the schedule to their availability, focusing on maintaining a balance between Jiu Jitsu and strength training. 🏋️‍♂️ If lifting is the priority, spreading out strength training throughout the week while consolidating high-intensity stressors can be an effective approach. 🔄 Regardless of the scenario, finding time for a 20-30 minute workout is better than none, especially for individuals managing multiple responsibilities.

Fking love you Chad

Fucking Chad Wesley smith does bjj!!! This man is awesome !!!

I used to be a 280 lb powerlifter as a white belt, and I was a problem, but only for other white belts. Seven years later, I’m 240 lb, and I have the right mix of cardio, endurance, and strength to destroy the 280 lb version of myself. Also, if you want to work on striking, then cardio becomes even more important.

I never thought Will Sasso would give me so much good fitness information

Hey Chad can the principles in this video be applied to other sports as well. I play club level rugby here in the US and organizing a training week is really where I get screwed up with my programming

This has been really helpful but I have a question and you probably are you answer let’s say I had some other physical challenging hobbies I wanted to do throughout the week as well like surfing or rock, climbing, etc.. How would I be able to incorporate that into my schedule?

Please more jiujitsu content

Great vid about of the most important questions. I would like to hear about this kind of stuff. A question does it make sense to split strength and conditioning work over muscle groups or body parts, like body builder sometimes do? Is this a manageable way to deploy stressors over the training week. Please more of this stuff. Best regards from Germany.

How’s this compare to chewjitsus weight training for grapplers program?

It is easy to make video about martial arts (general) and lifting?!

Great vid can you do one on wresterling/khusti and bfr pls

How would you suggest working other disciplines like boxing or mma.

where can i watch the entire roll? 3:48

Im doing x3 BJJ and x3 powerbuilding per week. Yea its hard, usually you are coming to bjj after gym and feel that "lol im crap".

What if your Bjj is high intensity (many live rounds) every time?

what shoes did you use to squat the brand and type plscan you let me kno

Do you attribute your success in jiu jitsu in such a short time span to the strength/powerlifting background you have?

Damn strong guys getting into BJJ! Us skinny guys need our advantage. XD

Can you please elaborate on the science, evidence, logic behind not spreading your high intensity BJJ sessions and S&C sessions? in other words I couldnt exactly see the reasoning behind not spreading them.
