How Much Strength is Enough for BJJ?

JT & Joey
About this episode

How strong do you need to be for BJJ? Is there such thing as too much strength? In BJJ culture strength often has shame thrown on it as a lack of technique. But we all know that being stronger is an advantage on the mats. If you are already lifting, feel strong and want to get stronger that is a great goal but how much more work do you need to do to get there? 
Do you even need to get any Stronger? The Bulletproof Boys examine the major lifts and discuss what level of strength you should be aiming relevant to your bodyweight. This should serve as a general purpose guide, so you can recognise when you are strong enough at a movement and instead of doubling down put that time and energy into something else that might help your Jiu-Jitsu more effectively.
