Best Way To Manage Health With BJJ

Health is a tricky thing to manage when it comes to BJJ, and has really affected my life in many different ways I don't want affecting you

So that's why I put this together, so that way you're not a bum and fuck yourself up

So here's some things we need to make sure we're getting in check👇

Preparation - getting ready for class

Conditioning - make sure we're ready for the impact from class, and we do good

Recovery - what we have to do after class

So starting with preparation, here's some things I do to prepare for class👇

Carbs, if I need them - this can either be fruit, oats, or rice, basically a pre workout

Cold, and hot shower - heat will help with loosening the muscles, cold will help with energy, and testosterone

NSDR - non sleep deep is a type of meditation that helps with resetting the brain

That's what I do before class, keep in mind, I might not be able to do all of these things, but at least 1-2 is essential

Anyways, let's move on to how I stay conditioned for BJJ👇

Cardio - usually just running in the morning, pretty fun imo

Forearm exercises - help with grips

Jump roping - helps with the calves

Stretching - my favorite is dead arm hang

Ligament therapy - basically rehab for your shoulders

Regular hypertrophy - just my normal gym session

Ab workout - good for core rotations

Again, I don't do everything all the time, can't push it too far sometimes

This is what I do for recovery👇

Good sleep - this is pretty obvious, aim for at least 7.5 - 9 hours

Raw honey - a lot of nutrients, and good for recovery + testosterone

Time management - just overall making sure I don't go too far with my workouts, and manage them so I don't overtrain

Raw cream - I don't do this actually, but my Dad says it helped him after boxing, so might as well try it out, careful of regular cream, or milk, because of the estrogen, unless you want gyno

Those are all the things I do for making sure my health is at it's best for BJJ, and I highly recommend this for everyone in here cuz this has helped me ALOT!!
