    What’s this technique called...?

    For some reason I thought it was called diaper control. From half guard: Person on the bottom is on their left side Take the bottom of your opponents lapel and pass it between their leg. Grab the lapel with your right hand behind their thigh. I hope this description makes sense...

    Tightest hamstrings ever!

    I have the Gymnastics Bodies Front Split Stretch Series. I follow the 45 minute program once per week. On off days I do some slight limbering stretches, nothing intense. I have seen huge improvements. It targets your achilles, calves, hamstrings, quads, and hip flexors. I prefer the...

    Advice to bring my legs to acceptable levels

    High rep squats made my legs grow like crazy. I would do a minimum of 15 reps per set. It's brutally tough but I found this was great for leg growth and strength.

    Best Fitness/Activity Tracker 2016

    I can use myfitnesspal to track food. I'd like to be able to track calorie expenditure. Some days I'm very active and some days pretty seditary at work. Would be nice to be able to track throughout the day

    Best Fitness/Activity Tracker 2016

    I used to own a Body Media Fit, but it was bought out by Jawbone and they no longer support the app and web based software. I found it really good for calculating calorie expenditure, sleep, etc. At the time it was deemed the most accurate fitness tracker on the market. I'm looking at...

    Best Calorie tracker for 2016?

    Last time I did research the BodyMedia Fit was arguably the best on the market at the time. Well, they no longer exist and were bought out by Jawbone. What's the go-to product these days? What's the most accurate? Any suggestions?

    Anyone use mouth-guards for BJJ?

    I wear one every time I hit the mat. I don't want to chip a tooth or get a tooth knocked out. At times when people are giving heavy shoulder pressure or trying to grind out a choke I am able to bite down on my mouth guard and it saves my teeth and jaw. Without a mount guard I'd be crushing...

    GymnasticBodies -- Foundation One , anyone do it?

    If you are working out in the gym or at home, you are probably going to have to improvise for equipment. It seems sort of crazy, but I have a bar top on my kitchen counter. It's definitely high enough, wide is perfect - I'm 99% sure that's what I am going to use for this exercise when it's...

    GymnasticBodies -- Foundation One , anyone do it?

    I am going to take a shot at Foundations 1 as well as one of the splits courses - maybe front split to address my hamstring and hip flexor stiffness. This is going to be brutal

    GymnasticBodies -- Foundation One , anyone do it?

    Over the last several years I have been losing more and more interest in the weight room. Jiu Jitsu has filled a good bit of that void, but then I discovered that I have some serious deficiencies in my athleticism. My strength has always been a strong point, no pun intended. However...

    GymnasticBodies -- Foundation One , anyone do it?

    The program is way tougher than it looks. It's very detailed, but I find it a bit confusing about the schedule, etc. I understand once you master an exercise you move onto the next exercise. However, the document doesn't clearly address what happens if you don't do the reps in a week...

    GymnasticBodies -- Foundation One , anyone do it?

    I hope you can answer this. Question 1: Let's say Week 4 has you doing 5x5 reps for a given exercise. Week 5 has you doing 3 x 10. If week 4 I fail to get the 5x5, do I still go onto week 5, for 3x10? Question 2: It's broken down into a 12 week cycle. If by week 12 you don't master a...

    Intermittent Fasting Help

    I had my best weight loss success when I did IF, however it was the most mentally tough diet plans I have done. I went with Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat method with 1 or 2 24hr fasts per week. What I liked about it is that I didn't have to eat what I consider diet food. I would start my fast...

    Those with full time jobs..how do you fit in BJJ?

    A full time job is easy to work around and find time for jiu jitsu. Add in a wife and some kids and it gets tough. Then when you kids get older and start their own organized sports and activities it becomes busy and problematic. You train when you can and prioritize. My kids activities come...

    Apologizing In Training

    I apologize all the time - eye pokes - accidental knees or elows - accidental handful of balls blocking a guard pass - dripping sweat into someones face I am sure the list goes on. We train very hard, but I also consider a large number of training partners as friends.

    I ordered on the 9th - 2 rash guards. I checked my order on Friday and there was no change. I just checked 30 secs ago and it says my order shipped.

    Blood Pressure Monitoring

    This measurement was taken around 3pm I had a couple cups of coffee in the morning. I drink anywhere from 1 - 4 coffee's per day. I don't smoke. I do BJJ and started running again to get my cardio back where I'd like it to be. I think I may hit Costco tomorrow to see what they...
