Hi Guys Don't know if you guys have seen it already but heres the link to the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxMNs39ld88 It was over quickly but damn the Choi dude is huge, towered over fedor.

Thanks for all the great info guys. Sorry Jacob, I gotta wait before I can add to your Karma Points again.

Same thing happened to me as well. My gym had just done an upgrade to all the equipment, so everything was new, shiny and of course very slick. I get ready to do my squats without bothering about the clips and end up dropping the weights with a nice loud clang. Quick look around to see if anyone...

Thanks for the info. That workout by Sakuraba looks nice.

Hi all, I am looking for any information on exercises that will help improve my BJJ game. I know mat time is best way to improve but are there any solo drills ,things that I could do to help improve my fitness and techniques for BJJ. I normally do 5x5 weight training but any additional help is...

Thanks for the comment Djimbe. I do need to work on my technical stuff 'cause I try to just overpower the guy and I do get completely drained before the time is over. Then my opponent can put me into a hold easily. Still need to learn to be more patient and not just try to bulldoze the guy.

Thanks carlsuen. I will definitely get in some warmup sets before my 1x5 deadlift.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will definitely look out for schools in my area and see what they have to offer and also what their instructors have to offer.

Cool man, thanks for clearing that up.

hey mercere I am also doing Ripptoe's 3x5 program. I started with a 5x5 program but due to work couldn't find the time to properly get into it, so now I've decided to go back to basics . I have one question for you. For your first day with deadlifts, you are doing it 3x5 but when I read the...

Here's another vote for all three.

thanks for the info guys. I tried giving k but it tells me to spread it around first... doh
