How Strong is strong enough for Jiujitsu and MMA? We’ve asked this question on scramblog before. In this post I suggested “Strength addicts will say you can never have enough, smart athletes however need to know if pursuing more strength worth diminising returns and time cost. We are not trying to produce strongmen, powerlifters or […]
I have posted before about recovery routines before, elements of which can used after both sports training and weight training sessions. I have also spoken before about the need for deep belly breathing post training also.

Ignore the clickbait inspired title. You may recall from previous post that ACL tears are a bit of problem in grappling and MMA especially in females. I’ve spoken before about the need for direct hamstring work when it comes to helping athletes prevent and bounce back from knee injuries and growing body of evidence is […]
This post was inspired after scrambles very own Matt Benyon asked me about neck training, very over due heres a few video’s I like and some rational behind good neck training.

Random Training Thoughts heres #1,#2,#3,#4, #5,#6 Golf,#7 I get a ton of emails from BJJ players usually worried about how they should strength train, Jiujitsu as a community seems to breed uncertainty about the efficacy of ‘strength’ training.

Probably thinking about Burritos Keep your eyes peeled this saturday. Featherweight (66kg) Arnold Allen (9-1) was signed by UFC earlier this week and replaces Mike Wilkinson at UFC Berlin against Alan Omer (18-4). Arnold is a great example of #LTAD (long term athlete development) in MMA and is great across a spectrum of ranges large […]

Sick Threads Bro The issue of specificity in training is one that seems to bother many practitioners, obviously I want to train in a fashion that will improve my sport, be it MMA, BJJ or other combat sports.Loaded sports type drills (like weighted punching, barbell open guard playing) seem like the obvious solution to the […]
