More Train, Less Pain; Engineering the Adaptable Athlete S4E23: BJJ Gumbys and Gorillas with Jon Pope
Tim welcomes his second guest of More Train, Less Pain’s arc on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; Jon Pope of Building the Elite. Jon is a former competitive BJJ player with a wealth of knowledge in program design. They get into the 3 basic archetypes of BJJ players and how to train each in the gym, the role of gym work in a BJJ player’s physical preparation strategy, the need to “own the middle” of the intensity continuum, how developing energy systems in this population looks an awful lot like training a miler, why a coach may choose a rower or an elliptical for certain energy system goals, and the silliness of “specificity” in training elite BJJ athletes.
