  • The BJJ Hobbyists Guide to Injury Prevention!
    Apr 26 2024

    In this episode is with Chase Yoselowitz, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, about injury prevention for beginner grapplers in Jiu-Jitsu. We discuss Chase's background in Jiu-Jitsu and his work with athletes and hobbyists.

    We also cover topics such as preventing lower back pain, building muscle for Jiu-Jitsu, energy systems, and conditioning for Jiu-Jitsu. Chase emphasizes the importance of progressive overload, proper form, and individualized training.

    He also encourages beginners to start Jiu-Jitsu regardless of their fitness level and advises on incorporating strength and conditioning into their training. In this conversation, Chase Yoselowitz, CSCS, discusses strength and conditioning for jiu-jitsu athletes.

    He emphasizes the importance of incorporating strength and conditioning into a training routine, recommending two to three days a week. Chase also explains the concept of working within a range of reps and weights to optimize performance and prevent injury.

    He suggests starting with unilateral exercises to address imbalances and build stability, then progressing to bilateral exercises like barbell squats and deadlifts. Chase also touches on the value of explosive movements like cleans and snatches, as well as the importance of mobility training and full range of motion for injury prevention and improved performance.
