Since he's only training two days a week, are you just having him do a full body workout each day? What would be the ideal amount of strength training days for a BJJ athlete? I ask because I've modeled a lot of my own programming off of things you've shown on this channel And it seems like I have to train pretty often to get all of the different movement types in.
@@randyireland8327 yea he does 2x full body. He’s also doing Jiu Jitsu 6-9x/week. Ideal is going to vary based on a lot of factors like how much BJJ you’re training, how strong are you, age etc
2.5x bodyweight squat is likely not easy or baseline for an athlete of any kind, let alone one in a sport that has a very limited need for maximal lower body strength.
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems about 200 could be 160 or 2x body weight which is not set in stone; lifting 1 x body weight is 100% weak and lifting more 100% benefits an athlete; which is probably filling out the noobie gains, easy and fast; there is no sense in going for 300 which would take years and he is not a powerlifter or stronhman

id say get his squat to 200kg, keep it at this level and then add more specialized movements (same with press/pull etc.)
@@MhUser what about a 200kg squat for an 80kg Jiu Jitsu athlete do you see as a significant milestone?
