Well... it's not actually the laziest way. But it may help you become the most consistent version of yourself. When you set achievable goals, you are much less likely to burn out from overtraining jiu jitsu, lifting, and mobility. We shine a new light on how you can get your training in each week and how you can stay in the gym and on the mats.

Why is there a stereotype of purple belts always skipping the warm up and why is it completely true? Who is at fault here? Is it jiu jitsu traditional warm ups? Is it the purple belts for getting lazy? Or could it be the coaches not holding them accountable? Maybe it's all of these things. We are putting this episode out as a warning to the purple belts who skip warmups. You are only hurting your future self by doing so. Maybe...

If you were going to cut a tree down, what would be your tool of choice -- Chainsaw or axe? This is an episode about preparation. Are you putting in the preparation before training? Or are you just hacking away exerting as much effort as possible. While working hard is great, being the most prepared and working EFFICIENTLY is better.

Have you heard the notion that diet does not matter for success in BJJ? While this may be true for some folks (potentially blasting gear) this more than likely is not the case for you. Why, in other sports do the best of the best spend so much time and money to keep themselves as healthy as possible? Think of Tom Brady, LeBron, GSP, what do they do when picking out their meals? We guarantee it's not McDonalds and Donuts.

Time to answer a recurring question, are private lessons worth the cost? Jiu jitsu gyms and their coaches rely on private lessons as a means of making a living. But are you really getting your money's worth? The truth is really how your coach carries out the private lessons, and if you aren't loving your progress, you need to say something to make sure the juice is worth the squeeze. Learn more in this ep.

Are you achey all the time even though you train jiu jitsu and lift regularly? Maybe you are missing something FUNDAMENTAL. Becoming strong in uncomfortable positions is the name of the game, and we detail how you can actually get there. Spoiler alert: It's not from doing a 5 minute mobility flow every now and then.

Have you missed training a few days in a row? Maybe a few weeks? Maybe a few months? It happens to all of us along the journey for various reasons. The biggest part of this is the fact that you do get back on the mats. Even though it may seem daunting to head back to the gym, getting the first class out of the way is the biggest part.

The age old jiu jitsu sayings rendering strength useless with impeccable technique were maybe true for a period of time. Buuuut now those big and strong guys are also doing BJJ. Have you been told to stop using strength in rolls? We say, f%$@ that noise. While having technical prowess is really the ultimate goal, your strength is also a skill that you need to train. Getting stronger will only help your jiu jitsu, and if it's s...

Is training 5 or 6 minute rounds killing your jiu jitsu progress? Using a round timer is common-place in jiu jitsu gyms around the world. But what if this practice is holding your jiu jitsu back? 10,15 or 20 minute rounds sound very daunting, but you might be surprised about how you approach these rounds and how they could skyrocket your BJJ progress.

Is Jiu Jitsu a fight? On a previous episode, JT took a hard stance. But now we have brought that into question once again. You want to train differently but the gym (which you love) does not have what you're looking for; what do you do?  Is G Souders full of S#@!?, or does he just not care to reexplain if you don't get it? Get all of the 100% correct and true answers here.
