How heavy should I go on my lifts?
Some exercises have percentages included that should be performed according to your 1 rep max in that lift. If there is no percentage, that means we want you to use and develop your autoregulation ability to determine to how heavy to go. Autoregulation is learning how hard your body is able to push itself and how to increase weights in a proper progression to ensure you are thoroughly warmed up and able to go as heavy as you are able without failing on any sets (unless specified).

When training explosive based work for wrestling we need to understand the key elements of the sport.

Folkstyle, Greco-Roman or Freestyle wrestling strength coaches are constantly wondering how much strength, speed and endurance the wrestling athlete needs. Honestly, they need um. All. Strength. Speed. Endurance. On the mat, you can’t have one without the other. If one is lacking, the others are not operating at their full potential on the mat. That isn’t good. That’s a problem....
Who hasn’t heard a horror story of a wrestler cutting weight? The stories come across as part demonic possession mixed with zombie slithering. Wrestlers projectile vomiting prior to crawling across the floor to stand on the scale, eyes glazed as if in death throes, all to make weight for the match. High school coaches, children’s own parents even, force their kids to run around in trash bags, covered in sweats, while in a sauna, only to chastise the athlete’s poor performance on the mat...

Great garage experience
Very good experience with this program, a correct base to develop bjj skills

Program
Helped with my strength a lot
Garage Strength Performance Training
This is great to hear, Colin. Keep up the great work!

Only on week 2 but great so far
I must say I feel this is the ideal program for me. Now that I’m in my 40’s and with limited time, I feel as if this is the optimal program to address that plus the strength deficits I currently have (I’m finally feeling sensation in the finger of my R arm again, I landed directly on my head about two months ago resulting in loss is strength)

review of the bjj strength training program
Just finished my 2nd run of the bjj strength program and would 100% recommend it to anyone who does bjj looking for a solid strength program. The program has vastly improved my grip strength in the gi as well as with grips from bottom half when trying kimura traps. I've also been told by training partners that I am harder to take down now, which I attribute to the strength program and the selection of exercises. Not only have I seen improvements on the mats I also broke through a bench and deadlift plateau while on the program.
