    Gym Cancer Culture (Episode 348)

    On this episode, Chewy and Eugene answer a question from Collin who asks, “How do you recognize and fix gym culture without enforcers, and also what do you do if one of the enforcers becomes a gym bully”? We discuss how and when a “gym enforcer” should be used, one of the most corrosive things that can happen in the gym, “Absolute Cancerous Behaviors” and “Relative Cancerous Behaviors,” some of the cancerous situations that Chewy had to address at the gym, something that would lead to immediate removal from the gym, reasons Chewy wouldn't promote a student, “pulling rank” at a gym, and our opinions on gauntlets.

    Can You Get "Ridiculously" Strong For BJJ Without Lifting Weights? (Episode 347)

    On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss a recent article that claims that you can get “ridiculously" strong for BJJ by just doing bodyweight exercises. We chat about the article in depth and where we agree and disagree with the writer’s arguments.  We also discuss why some grapplers a resistant to lifting weights, how to properly use isometric exercises to strengthen your body, our thoughts on “Functional Exercises,” if incorporating more wrestling into your training will increase strength, if you will get stronger by training with heavier training partners, whether there is any benefit to doing bodyweight exercises, if drilling can improve “functional strength” for BJJ, if increased flexibility and mobility will improve strength, whether cardiovascular conditioning improves strength, and out overall thoughts on this article.
