The Strenuous Life Podcast with Stephan Kesting

Learn the best BJJ competition strategies. Today I have a long chat with David Meyer, the author of "Training for Competition; Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling." We cover WHO should compete, WHEN to use certain strategies, HOW to prepare for a competition, WHAT your mindset should be, WHY put all this stress on yourself in the first place, and much, much more. It's one of the best interviews I've done, and if you practice any grappling art then I really think that you'll enjoy it.

This is a very detailed and specific discussion about MMA conditioning. Jon pulls no punches and shares much of his approach for working with fighters. We discuss periodization, crossfit, aerobic vs. anaerobic work, program design, overtraining, initial assessment of an athlete, and a whole lot more.
