Speaker 1 (00:07):
A good martial artist
does not become tense, but
ready.
Essentially, at this point, thefight is over, so you pretty
much flow with the goal.
Who is worthy to be trustedwith the secret to limitless
power?
I'm ready.
How you can get strongertraining only twice a week.
(00:36):
Is that possible, Joe?
People doubt it because a lotof people out there they're in
the gym four times a week, fivetimes a week.
They're like this is the way toget strong.
Yep, there, they're in the gymfour times a week, five times a
week.
They're like this is the way toget strong.
What we're going to talk abouttoday is how you can train
better only on two days a weekand how you can also get variety
without getting bored, Becausea lot of people are like man, I
don't want to do the same twoworkouts all the freaking time.
What are we talking about?
(00:56):
We're talking about a 10-daytraining window.
So, as opposed to you kind ofgoing to normal cycles of, like
you know, seven days, seven days, seven days which is not
necessary we're going to talkabout three 10-day cycles and
how this is going to make youstronger for jiu-jitsu Three
10-day cycles in a month, yeah,and yeah, we've been doing it
for a while with people.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, so it's what
our standards program is.
Well, we give people the option, don't we?
Seven or 10 days, which werecognize, that like a week is
really nice, but for some peopleit's hard to squeeze in three
workouts a week on top ofjujitsu, and so if you stretch
it out to 10 days, that's threeextra days for you to get in one
extra session.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It all fits and some
people are not recovered.
Some people are like, oh man, Iget to the gym and I'm still a
bit cooked from hard trainingthe night before and whatever.
It is right.
And it's weird because we'rereally conditioned by society
like seven days, it's got to fitwithin seven days, but when you
play around with it, I mean,that's if you're not operating
off the mind calendar.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's you know of
course.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Of course as opposed
to the Gregorian calendar.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, I'm not sure
what you guys use, the astral
cycles.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I use the astral
cycles.
I use the, the elio, the grace,the gracie calendar I operate
off.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
The gordon ryan cycle
depends on your blood work,
folks um, you know, you knowwhat I find people do um, where
I think people come unstuckbecause seven days is a really
nice.
It is nice right, because it'sa week and you got easy enough
whatever.
And so if you can set up yourweek to make it repeatable, then
like that, that's awesome andthat would be kind of gold
(02:33):
standard, right.
But for a lot of busy folksthey end the week not having
completed all of their training.
Yeah, and if you're doing aprogram like standards or like
any other strength program thatnecessitates three days, three
days or more, then every weekyou're like chronically missing
one session.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And I do this myself
where you're like I'll get it in
next week, I'll get it in, butyou never start the next week
with the session you missed.
Yeah, you go Monday session,wednesday session, and then
you're like fuck, I missedanother one, next week I'll do
better.
And you just end up never doingthat workout, right.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Also, too, for busy
folks and I know a lot of
grapplers who do this and a lotof sort of parents is they go.
No, no, I can squeeze in aworkout on the weekend, and
weekends can.
Often.
For some people it's perfect.
Maybe I know for myself, man,man, if I'm hanging out with the
fam, it's fucking hard to get aworkout on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
The days blow out,
yeah, and so it's like sometimes
that's a fantasy and I think ifyou know this is you and you're
like, yeah, I always say I willon the weekend and I very
rarely do, and I think the 10day is going to be a nice switch
for you yeah, and let's, let'stalk about like because this
came up more recently, uh, withrange of strength, with his
programming, because one of hisI think one of his clients or a
(03:45):
number of his clients uh hadtalked about oh, I can't fit in
three days and the program'sthree days, and he said, oh look
, 10 days is great, you canstill get a lot of improvement
there.
And I think people, becausewe've been so brainwashed into
like bro splits and I've got todo three days, I've got to do
body parts and five days-Monday's chest day.
Yeah, all this stuff, it's likeunnecessary really, and you can
(04:08):
get really good results off twodays a week.
And let me break that down foryou.
So if you're doing a programthat requires you to do three
different workouts and insteadof us spacing it over seven days
, we can do it over 10, how thisworks out super nice.
You don't actually need tochange your days.
Say, you work out Monday andWednesday.
Whatever your setup is, whatyou can do is day one on Monday,
(04:31):
day two on Wednesday and whenyou come back the next week you
do day three on the Monday andthen you do day one on the
Wednesday and it rotates.
And this is actually super nicein terms of variety, because
you can fall into a bit of alike oh, Monday again and
Wednesday, and you don't bringthe same level of energy to the
(04:52):
thing because it becomes soroutine.
What I like about this 10 daytraining window is it rotates on
you.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, I'm with
that.
Um, I think that the, the push,the pushback from, like, the
pushback from the, you know, thehard cores of the strength
thing would be like that's notenough frequency, you're not.
You know, like, say, you'redoing legs on a Monday and then
it's upper body on Wednesday,and then on the next Monday it's
the third session, which isfucking grip and neck training.
(05:21):
It's like you're not doing legsagain from one Monday until the
next Wednesday.
Grip and neck training yeah,it's like you're not doing legs
again from one Monday until thenext Wednesday.
Yes, If we are talking aboutthe top level of what sports
science tells us, this is notthe like the absolute most
effective way to maximizeresults.
So, if you're an elite athleteand you fucking throw javelins
for a living, we're not going toput you on a 10 day split.
(05:42):
However, none of you arefucking elite athletes and none
of and none of our trainingsetups are ideal.
Some of it like we're trainingtired, we're often not fed well
enough, we've got a big fuckerand our shoulder got busted up,
like life is just hard like that.
And so if you compare theperson who's always searching
for perfection versus the personthat is imperfect but hyper
(06:04):
consistent, the hyper consistentperson wins and hey look if
you're an elite javelin thrower,you can just get the fuck out
of here, because I'm not talkingto you, dickhead um no, I've
got no problem with javelinthrowers I can fuck right off if
you want, I think it's a coolsport.
I made it to the district once.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
If you want to throw
a spear at me, come at me, bro,
I'll get in close.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Fucking fuck you up
but yeah, and so it's.
It's, I mean, the proof's inthe pudding, right for the
people that we we do that withstandards and with other
programs that we run say, out ofthe gym and stuff still get
strong.
People get fucking strong, yeah, and that's the reality of it.
And it's even like people whotrain once a week.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, sure, it's not
ideal, but you do get stronger
there's something there andthere has been a bunch of
research to actually show thatdeadlifting once every 10 days
actually gets you stronger thandepending on how heavy you're
going then deadlifting twice inthat same period.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Because everybody
recovers differently.
And if you have the demand ofjujitsu and this is the thing
that most strength programs donot factor in yeah, this fucking
crazy neural fatigue you canget from having roles that just
obliterate you it takes days ata time for the nervous system to
recover, Like even though yourmuscles could bounce back and
like, oh, I'm not sore, but itdoesn't mean you're operating at
(07:17):
that sweet spot.
So giving yourself that littlebit more time on the stimulus
can be better.
And I think this is not beingtalked about enough and people
are feeling guilty.
People are like, oh fuck.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
They're feeling
guilty and they're skipping
workout three.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'll let myself down.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah.
But yeah, I actually, eventhough I train pretty
consistently, I actually enjoymixing up the days a little bit.
It's a different energy andactually it's led me to put my
harder workouts earlier in theweek.
I used to have like a reallyhard workout on a Friday and
then fucking Fridays I'm cookedanyway.
(07:55):
So I just started skippingFridays and doing it on a Sunday
, like even though that for alot of people Sunday's a day off
or whatever.
I fucking killed it on a Sundaybecause I was rested, I was
fresh, I'd had kind of like twodays off for my heaviest session
and then Monday wasn't actuallymy hardest session anyway.
So it worked out really welland that was just a personal
(08:16):
experiment.
So if you haven't done thisbefore, I actually think it's
worth a try.
It's worth a try.
You're trying to get strongerfor jujitsu and you're not sure
how We've got the thing for you.
It's the Bulletproof for BJJapp.
Now, the cool thing about theapp is we update the programs.
That's right, and we've gotsome new programs dropping real
soon and we want to get you inthere.
The great thing is you get a14-day free trial so you can get
(08:38):
in there, play around, have afeel and here's the deal.
If you don't like it, we have100% money back guarantee, so
you have nothing to lose.
Get on the free trial, go tothe app store or the play store,
download the app, take the14-day free trial and we will
see you in there.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, I really like
it.
I think if you look at, like,if we do the math on that, right
, if you go on a 10-day splitand you said on this at the
beginning, like if you'retraining, if you got three
workouts a week and you trainand you do that every week, then
let's say that each workout isunique and you got workout one,
two and three, at the end of themonth you'll have done workout
one four times, workout two fourtimes, workout three four times
(09:18):
in a month.
Sure, if you do 10 day split,you'll have done each of them
three times.
Yeah, so there's a 25 reductionin the frequency of that
particular session.
But if we stretch, like not alot happens in a month in terms
of training results.
So if we stretch that out overlike six to 12 months, sure, 25%
reduction in frequency.
But I would argue like if itincreases your chances of
(09:43):
adhering to it, fuck, that's11.5% increase in performance.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Right there, friend,
you heard it here folks 11.5,
guaranteed Mate.
And I totally agree with you,and I think this is the mistake
that we make.
We get really hooked up on whatam I doing today, what am I
doing this week, what am I doingthis month?
It's very rare that we thinkabout three months time, six
months time, 12 months time,because really, that's where you
(10:07):
want to be.
No one, no one says, oh, I wantto be weaker in 12 months.
No, but oftentimes we overcookourselves by our need to want to
be stronger now.
Yeah, means that we never, wenever actually arrive at the
destination which is stronger insix months, not injured, not
fucking blown out.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's right.
You know what catches me withthis.
You know when you track yourtraining in the Bulletproof app
and you've got the journal andyou look back at your month and
you can see you get the coloreddots, all the little dots, yeah.
Yeah, and so you get the red dotfor strength and the blue dot
for mobs and jits and shit andit's all there.
And so you can see, like overthe last, my strength days,
those are my flexibility days,whatever.
Often when you've got that nicegrid pattern going where it's
(10:48):
consistent and you've got thered dot on the same day through
the whole month, you don't wantto change it, like I don't want
to fucking change my trainingday, bro.
I get it and if you're in agood groove with it, don't
change it.
But if you're like you can seethat there's, if you know that
you are missing sessions andthat there is inconsistency to
it, try changing it up.
Yeah, try just removing thisbit of pressure from yourself to
(11:09):
allow you to have a betterchance at succeeding with the
training.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, and look, if
you're someone who struggles
with consistency, I think thislowers the friction, because
what's great about two days isyou might train Monday and say
your week blows out and you'relike I'll get my second session
in on Friday, that's okay.
But for a lot of people, ifthey've put the pressure of
three sessions on themselveslike sometimes even just the
(11:34):
thought of not kind ofcompleting defeats people and
they're like, oh fuck, I'll justdo one session and then nothing
happens, right, but justallowing yourself the space to
go, I will do these threesessions, but now I have 10 days
to play with.
That's really great.
Obviously, we'd like you to doa session, leave a space.
(11:54):
Do a session, leave a space,but you get two sessions and
then you've got fucking sevendays to play with to get that
third session in.
That is actually way moreflexibility for people's busy
schedule and you can still getreally fucking strong for bjj,
which is what we're all about.
Yep, and flexible, yeah, that'sit, and that's that's another
component.
I mean, um, when uh, range ofstrength was talking about, he
(12:16):
was talking about likeflexibility and loaded
flexibility, training and andpeople getting consistency with
it.
Yeah, and you know we're allabout that.
So I I think that givingyourself a greater space and
thinking about your trainingdifferently, in terms of it
being bigger than just sevendays and a month and a broader
(12:37):
context if you find consistencyin this, I think this can be a
real winning formula for BJJfolks to be able to fit it all
in.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Fuck yeah, 10 days.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
do it Fucking.
Let's go, Choo.
