• Brilliant and helpful

  I was already a fan of Mike from YouTube, and his insights and applied sport science knowledge here is helpful for enhancing or starting your knowledge of strength training in BJJ. I'm a big fan of Mike's humour too and he gives some great analogies to support what he says too. Also it's important to point out that the price of this instructional is the lowest on BJJ fanatics which I really respect Mike for, as unlike the other fitness instructionals which tend to cost 3 figures and just show a basic workout which they've used alongside the 'juice', Mike gives you foundational knowledge so you can build and tweak your own training program, as well as sharing how different exercises can improve your BJJ so that you won't spend time wondering if you're even doing an effective thing or not. I'd definitely recommend this, especially for the price.

  I've known of Mike for about 14 years. He has written university level textbooks on sports science and it has always been the foundation of my training. Now that I'm doing BJJ, this is super helpful to shift my training and properly prioritize.

• To de-load, or not to de-load, that is the question

  "Mike Israetel's video on strength training for jiu-jitsu is excellent. He delivers actionable advice with humor, making it easy to digest. At 52, and juggling a demanding jiu-jitsu and strength schedule, his section on deloading was a game-changer for me. The practical insights into preventing burnout are invaluable. Now, the real challenge is sticking to the deload and resisting live rolling! Highly recommended for any jiu-jitsu athlete seeking sustainable strength gains.

  About this program: It's cheap, concise and effective. About the guy: Michael Israetel is the John Danager of weight lifting and Nutrition. He is an expert, a PhD in Sport Science, and know his sh*t, and will make you better if you just follow the advice. On top of that he's hilarious, so I recommend following him on Yt.
