If you were to ask any coach of professional sports if young athletes are at a risk of getting injured, the coach will likely say that any young athlete that is pushed too hard without an adequate base of training runs the risk of being injured.
Young athletes will consistently push their bodies to the maximum level and often do so prior to developing the proper muscle tone, stamina, and strength needed to handle tough workouts without incurring an injury. Such problems have started to appear with a great deal of frequency in demanding activities such as soccer, football, and cross-country.
To play sports in school is a healthy endeavor and should always be encouraged to the same level as academic and social pursuits. Young ones do need to keep their body fit and this is true even during the off-season. The top professional fitness coaches will promote external strength and conditioning training programs that are known for their ability to help young athletes stay in great shape. The popularity and prevalence of these programs in schools and gyms is clear evidence coaches of student athletes know the value of these programs.
The following is a brief look at some of the benefits associated with enrolling in an off season strength and conditioning program:
1. As already mentioned, such training programs can greatly reduce the risk of injuries when the competitive season rolls around. High school athletes are especially prone to slacking off during the summer and school vacation periods and this can create extreme risk to muscle damage if intense workouts are begun after a long period of inactivity.
Additionally, a student that falters on his/her fitness levels during the off season will likely meet confidence issues since the ability to perform at peak levels will likely not be possible. Enrolling in a recognized strength and conditioning program will aid a young athlete in getting into shape long prior to their competitive season commencing.
2. To the psyche of the young athlete, there is nothing more damaging than coming back to join the team after summer vacation and being out of shape and unable to perform to the level the coach requires of their spot on the team. At best a poorly performing student athlete brings the team down and at worse can easily find themselves benched without any time on the field merely watching from the sidelines.
3. Strength and conditioning training camps do offer a lot more than just “mere” fitness boot camps since they also provide a basis for learning leadership skills and teamwork in a motivating environment. A solid strength and conditioning training program will nearly always entail opportunities for leadership and team building skills which can be employed in all facets of life outside the sporting arena.
It is a common misconception that strength and conditioning training programs are little more than glorified boot camps, but this is really not the case. Such programs serve a variety of purposes and those that take part in them will discover scores of different values and benefits they bring to their student years at high school and college, and beyond.

Brazilian jiu jitsu is a combat sport and self-defense system that focuses on ground fighting. Unlike karate and boxing, it does not use many punches or kicks but instead uses chokes and joint locks to disable opponents. Brazilian jiu jitsu is considered a vital skill for mixed martial artists. The early years of competitive mixed martial arts, specifically the Ultimate Fighting Championship, were dominated by members of the Gracie family — experts in Brazilian jiu jitsu.
The Need for Strength
While skill is vital for success in Brazilian jiu jitsu, strength is equally important. Taking another fighter to the ground so that you can use the locks and chokes of the sport often requires strength — especially if your opponent is bigger than you. It also takes strength to resist his efforts to get you on the deck and defend yourself. In sports, strength can be a vital factor, and when two equally skilled fighters meet, the stronger one is often the one to prevail.
Types of Strength
There are three main types of strength that are vital in Brazilian jiu jitsu: maximal strength, strength endurance and explosive strength — also known as power.Maximal strength is your ability to generate large amounts of force irrespective of speed. Maximal strength is important when applying a joint lock or choke, especially if your opponent is much bigger than you. Strength endurance describes your ability to repeat submaximal efforts without fatigue. This is essential if a fight lasts longer than a couple of minutes. Power describes the application of strength at high speeds. Possessing power means that you are better equipped to throw your opponent to the mat or sweep his legs from under him. This type of offensive maneuver must be performed powerfully if it is to be successful.
Training for Strength
Combining strength training with Brazilian jiu jitsu skills training and conditioning training requires careful time management. While both strength and conditioning are important, they should not detract from technique training. This means that strength training should be done on the days when you do not do any Brazilian jiu jitsu work. To maximize the benefits of strength training while minimizing actual workout volume, focus on the exercises that have the greatest carryover into your sport and organize your workouts so that you cover the maximum number of muscles using the minimum of exercises. Perform light weight, high-repetition work to develop muscular endurance and heavy weight, low-repetition work to develop strength. Power is developed by using moderate weights lifted at maximal speed.
Exercise Selection
Because Brazilian jiu jitsu is a full-body sport, you should base the majority of your strength training on full body exercises. While leg curls and calf raises are effective exercises for bodybuilding, they have little crossover to the complex movements of Brazilian jiu jitsu. Mixed martial arts strength and conditioning expert martin Rooney, author of “Training for Warriors” suggests focusing on compound, multi-joint exercises such as deadlifts, power cleans, high pulls, plyometric pushups and similar exercises that target multiple muscle groups at the same time. Core strength is also essential for successful Brazilian jiu jitsu, so you should devote time to developing the muscles of your abs, lower back and waist to ensure that your midsection is as strong as possible. Core exercises of choice include planks, V-situps, hanging leg raises, 45-degree back extensions and rotational throws using a medicine ball.

I almost decided not to write this…
I mean, I’m a Toronto boy at heart. And I’ve got a strong East Coast work ethic that’s gotten me pretty far. So when I learned this secret, and how much “elbow grease” it can do for you…
Well, I thought I’d be cheating you out of the necessary bumps and bruises it takes to get good at this “Fitness Strength Training & Conditioning Stuff”
But after I thought about it I reconsidered – frankly, if I could go back I’d jump at the chance to get a real pro to do all the work for me. So here’s the story…
Years ago when I was starting to get into fitness strength training & conditioning to boost my energy levels, looks, and health, I met this guy named Eric online.
What’s crazy is that meeting this ‘random’ guy changed my life. He knew a lot about fitness strength training, conditioning and even had his own book published on MMA fitness and how to get ripped super-fast.
Turns out that this crazy guy used to train UFC fighters! I was pretty fortunate to meet a fitness strength training & conditioning coach of that caliber. The information I gained from reading his book and chatting with him was invaluable.
My talks with him about fitness were very unconventional. But his methods really worked like anything I hadn’t ever experienced before.
It’s because Eric taught me a way to auto-pilot my fitness strength training program. Sounds kinda funny but I’ll explain.
You see, most people go to the gym and lift weights, maybe run a bit, play a sport, etc. They spend a lot of time exercising and don’t give it much thought.
Do you remember a time in your life where you put a little planning into something, spent time on it, energy, and were persistent?
You probably got better results this way. Imagine not putting much thought into your work or family life, or finances. Unfortunately, this is how most people exercise and fitness train…Without giving much thought to it.
So Eric taught me to set up a fitness strength training & conditioning system to virtually put my exercising on auto-pilot.
The great thing about creating an auto-pilot system is that you don’t need to place much thinking into it. You’re simply replicating a system people use who are already successful and there’s nothing to figure out.
So what do you have to do? 4 secret tips to fitness strength training & conditioning success…
1. Whatever muscle group you are targeting, write down 8 different workouts you can do. Stick to a group of 4 at a time, then after 2 months, switch to the second group of 4 exercises.
A key way to get incredibly fast, lasting strength and conditioning results, is by routinely changing up your workouts. Variability is the #1 key to success. Working out different parts of your muscles will ensure they rebuild differently while you’re not working out. An absolutely amazing auto-pilot way to build strength and conditioning.
Try to find boxing fitness & MMA workouts as these are intense and most training is done in intervals.
2. Get the self-discipline to include consistency. Often overlooked by many fitness trainers, consistency is the way to keep your results long-term and keep climbing the ladder to fitness success.
3. Track the progress of your results. If things aren’t going as planned you can change things up.
Planning work isn’t the most fun exercise but it’s crucial. Be realistic. Find out what other people have achieved and set goals. If you can’t reach them, reflect on whether you’ve been consistent and variable in your workouts. Keep refining.
Planning and writing things down will ensure you stay on track. It’s a way to auto-pilot your fitness strength training & conditioning. Once you do the initial planning, there’s no work involved.
4. Look at what experts are doing. Do a google search, read about Will Smith and how he got super-fit for the movie Ali. This is just an example but you probably understand what I’m getting at. Do what successful people are doing. They all had disciplined systems to follow. It’s simple.
Combining these is like having a 100% automated fitness strength training program that’s guaranteed to work. My buddy Eric is actually one of the most innovative guys on the planet when it comes to this stuff.
But I still kinda feel like I’m giving you a cheat sheet before a test; or helping you find someone to do your homework for you…
