Competition scares the hell out of me. It always has. My approach to competition used to be: I’ll do it…but only if I have to. In my sport: no gi BJJ (yes, it’s only a sport), if I want to see how my game is going to compare, competing in a tournament is a great [...]
The idea is pretty simple- move as much weight as fast as possible. I have been able to work this now 31 days out of the last 35…which is pretty bad ass. When I first started playing with this, I was urged to “pace” my sets by many people who think themselves experts, but pacing is basically standing [...]
