In Japan I once travelled to Osaka and was training in a very well known gym. The owner of the gym was really friendly because I told him that I follow him on instagram and always left a comment. He was really happy to finally meet and asked how I trained for Judo. So I explained and he told me for my size and age to have the thickness and solid muscle like a bull. As if the muscle is thick and so full I won't be injured and it will be functional. He told he that I'll be less likely to be injured and will be able to absord a lot of the throws. He told me to add volume and thickness. He stressed to look at the skeletal structure as well. Since then I never anymore Judo injuries except for my knees. That's it. Mr Saruyama worked with a lot of Judo athletes but wouldn't say which ones out of respect. He really helped me out.
LMAO
What's the full name I kinda wanna find them on Instagram
@R Angelo I believe that when I was 8yrs old I was chubby and started Judo I lifted weights and got buff before I hit 12 then learned how to cut weight and was ripped doing the same thing Dr.Rhadi is talking about
so the question is, how do you mitigate knee injuries?
@@JoeHeine leg day and don't resist with your knee when you are thrown. Accept that you are falling. Its okay.
I can't believe you guys didn't mention the most important part. Its something called ''Invisible Juice-Jitsu''. Invisible in that you don't want anyone to know that you're taking the Juice. Gordon Ryan is a master of Invisible Juice-Jitsu.
acai bowls everyday with anavar
100% facts lol.
DAAAAAAYM!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Don’t forget protein! Trenbolone sandwiches
@@funknotik He is practicing his anavar shots, errr... Sorry, I mean, his armbar locks.
They’re jacked because they do 3 things….
1. They eat Clen
2. They Tren everyday.
3. Anavar give up.
*Trenobol
Lol
😂😂😂
Basically: improving strength.
Improving work capacity
Improving power
According to Ferguson, it’s strength, then power, then work capacity
- You wanna be the best where?
- The world.
- Where?
- Nationals.
- Nationals? So you wanna be the best in Paris .... so you wanna be the best in the world.

for recreational lifters, i think its interesting to use all of the tatics in your daily training. For example you are a calisthenics guy: day 1 can be hypertrophy day 5 sets of push ups, pull ups, squats, and abd work until failure. Other day you can do power work, like four sets of speed rows, speed dips, jump squat. And the last day you can put all exercices into a circuit and bang them until you have nothing left.
I honestly would have been more interested in the answer to how does a 31 year old amateur judoka best train in the weight room. I hope they discuss this at a later stage.
Same
Ha… 53 year old here thinking the same thing
Right
It probably is the same.
2 years hypertrophy
2 years power
2 years circuit
But you can change the time.
2 month
Or even 2 days hypertrophy
Etc
At that age, injury prevention is a must. You’re most likely not looking to move up in weight classes. It could look like
- FRC training for joint strength, range and health
- Sub max (strength) lifting to get the most neurological drive from the existing muscles and to stabilize the joints
- Power training to convert the ^strength you’ve gained into a dynamic strength
- Metabolic training to mimic competition fatigue, lactic acid build up and breathing
In that order. You’re individual needs have to come into account but only you and your trainer know what that will be. Overall, as an amateur technique, technique, technique
Rhadi and chadi both have so much knowledge and so articulate. This is judo gold
Thank you 🙇🏻♂️🙏🏻
Yes. May Chadi trust his intuition and he will shine 10x brighter. What a great guy.
Simple believe in intuition of believe in ego. Simple but not easy.
Intuition: no justification. It is it's own end. It pays for itself. No explanation. No past, no future, no alternat reality.
Ego : justify because it is wound. Compares, has limits and conditions.
😅
I really enjoyed his timeline methodology. Strength/hypertrophy phase > Power phase > power conversion phase. Spending a good amount of time in each of the phases and then peaking sounds like a good cyclical approach. Although most people aren't shooting to go to the Olympics but for the average locally competitive person these timelines can be shortened to maybe 8-12 weeks per phase depending on when they have their competition.
I’ve always wondered if the muscle structure differed based on the grappling style. It seems like wrestlers are more jacked, Judoka are more solid, and Jiu-Jitsu folks are lean. is this due to specific style needs or traditional training methods
This is an interesting question. I think there's a bit of chicken and egg involved. Each grappling style has "sub-styles" within it. For example, in Judo you have folks that do more sacrifice throws, others that are more into lifts, some in ashiwaza, and yet others that specialize in certain turning throws. The natural builds of those athletes influence their choice of throws which influence the type of training they do which further changes their build to suit their style. A lanky ashi-waza player is going to look and train different from a guy who specializes in seoi-nage and ura-nage.
I thi k it's cause each sport is different. Wrestlers require more strength and explosiveness. While judokas need to be strong but not like wrestlers. And jiu jitsu guys don't really need to be that explosive as its more about endurance and technique. Each sport requires different kinds of fitness.
What I've noticed is that they end up looking quire similar at each weight category.
I was watching BJJ heavyweight World championships and these guys looked like Olympic wrestlers, proper jacked.
Also the fights looked just like greco wrestling as these guys were so strong/powerful they were literally throwing each other around. Regardless what lock they were doing there opponent could literally pick them up and throw the other guy off as it were nothing. Really good to watch actually, proper beasts.
Randy Couture spoke on this in his book, Wrestling For Fighting. When he first started kick boxing, he found he was exhausted quickly, until he learned to relax, and also develop his striking technique.
@@2024_R_I_S_I_N_G_ That's a great book!
This was truly amazing. Now that I'm becoming an old man I can pick a weight for my body that feels good and do whatever exercises satisfy my vanity, but that doesn't mean I have to stop learning
Most of us are not jacked (lots of muscles mass) many are ripped (lean). Those who are jacked are genetically gifted that way, or on steroids. Steroids are rampant in competitive bjj.
Un bjj for sure, I think it's less prevalent in judo because of the testing. Not to say everyone is 100% clean, but they're certainly not blasting test, tren, and clen like they are in bjj.
Judoka at elite level or any standing grappler needs a lot of strength and power to compete with others at that technical level.
I think most of the elites do some stuff but thats ok.
I love this man! He started from the way way in the beginning.
I like dr. Ferguson but doing sets of 100 isnt that smart even in the context of gpp.
I strongly recommend everyone who wants to be a well rounded fighter to focus on the basics.
Sleeps nutrition, stress management and basic compound movements like squats, hip hinges lunges vertical and horizontal upper body pulls and pushes in the 5-15rep range with some small isolation for shoulders,arms, calves, core, even neck in 2-4 training sessions per week with a set progression where you feel out how much volume you need for each individual movement pattern to progress it in weight while still having good form.
Eat clean, sleep well and train hard.
Good recourse are:
Renaisance Periodization, sika strength, Alexander bromley, Alan thrall, enkidu elite fitness, Geoffrey verity Schofield, stronger by science, knees over toes guy, barbell medicine, natural hypertrophy, catalyst athletics.
To be fair - he was talking about the kind of program he'd put a 17-year old on to get to elite competitive levels by mid-20s. But I agree, most normal humans will succeed to the degree they need to just focusing on the basics.
Its actually hypertrophy, then max strength,then power,then power endurance. Theres no place for 100 rep sets,that's pure muscle endurance, not strength at all.
@@deltapi8859 your talking about strength endurance, a totally different quality trained very differently to strength.
Lest just say that there are many reason to do high rep training but 100 reps are just to many.
10 yes, 20 often times also yes 30 even that has many valuable aspects if done right but 100 the literature supports nothing like this.
The highest I heard of was 75 with good outcomes and that where on bicep curls witch has nothing to do with work capacity but much more with sheer stupidity.
There is nothing gained by doing 100 reps that you couldnt also do with 30 and with much better outcomes
@@xaverdamien3986 i absolutely agree.
Not the answer I think you initially asked for but it was the answer we needed to hear...
New sub and hope to find more content from your guests.
For Periodization related to training applied to combat sports, Firas Zahabi of tri star gym in montreal has to be one of the best. He trains the athletes where it's maximum training/conditioning but minimal wear and tear on the joints. When I trained bjj that was my go to guy for proper training. I'm impressed to hear from Dr Ferguson that kind of periodization for olympic Judo athletes, it seems extremely difficult, but that is the olympics he is talking about. Probably like 1% of elite guys are able to go to that level.
Tristar gym is in Montreal. How are you making that mistake.
@@13bfc relax
Probably the best video on the subject I've seen. Dr Ferguson is 100% the real deal! How he structures time management and how to prepare your body is absolute science!
Yet he took 16th at the Olympic Games
Wait you started at 27 year old??? With the passion you have for Judo, I thought you started as a teen. Nice 🤙🏾
🙇🏻♂️
Damn I'm 27 now lol. I always thought I started late at 19
I started at 35, there’s no age too old for Judo just train and treat your body well.
started at 35
Me too ! Nice to see some mid 30s starters. Judo is the best though. So glad I did it.
Amazing video 👏 thank you for the upload brother Chadi 🙏 and thank you Dr. Ferguson 🙏 it’s strength training knowledge like this that I need to help me recover right now 💯
Rhadi the morote gari Fergi. Loved his aggressive style of judo. A true representative to counter IJF. Loved this interview
Interesting question considering that ones training should be proportional the the threat confronted.
As a judoka, I train physically to enhance performance to be sure, but am more concerned with injury prevention, which strength training and flexibility is ideal for.
Watched this entire video... still don't know how many sets or reps to do for anything!
Muscle density > muscle mass. Happy Mardi Gras!
Dr. Ferguson's scholarship is of the first order...and he is a complete badass 👍
This video needs to be longer!!
Great video, have you ever considered making a discord server to talk about Judo?
Hi! Feels so good to have this explanation from such an expert! One important thing for an average dude going to the gym to complet their grappling training is not to bother what the other guys do or say. Yes you will lift lighter than the other guys, especially the bodybuilders, but you'll know why, you have specific goals.
The grapplers pictured in the thumbnail are on a few PED’s. It’s well known in the grappling community. Lots of sauce in that ADCC.
Training is spiritual for me. I’m a Warrior of God and I’m prepared for anything. I believe God blessed me with BJJ, Muay Thai and all the other martial arts I’ve trained or train still to find my way to him and myself. God bless you all.
You chose the right person when you chose Dr.Rhadi Ferguson @Chadi he knows what he's talking about he trained with many
This was a good topic to discuss.
Thank you for sharing ☺️.
Chadi and Rhadi
This was great. Amazing perspective
Mashallah he is intense and i love it! Football mentality into other sports
Get to the point buddy, padding the answer is boring.
PhDs have a habit of being long winded.
As a former certified personal trainer I'm loving everything he saying
Stood next to Illias Illiadas at the end of his seminar for a photo. Man has two backs. Like two people were underneath his gi standing behind him.
Sensei Ferguson is right!
Galvao is 10000% on steroids
True, go see him against Marcelo García then see him now😂😂😂
So is gordo lol
No, he’s 100% natural.
@@frankiegodinez8864 yh as natural as Mike ohearn
Loving the interview Chadi 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This was the most interesting interview on training ever.
13:12 Saw some people in the comment talking about is not practical to training like what Dr. Ferguson says , I think the point he's making here is about GPP more, sure 6-12 can gives you a nice hypertrophy respond , but combat sport athlete do need more endurance based training , and you can always get more jacked with endurance rep range , it is just not that comfortable as 6-12 rep range.
This was fascinating! Thanks!
Thank you for the upload Chadi! You need a professional strength & conditioning coach that specialises in MMA such as Phil Faru! Anything else is leaning toward bro science!!!
I am a grappler and a bodybuilder. They complement each other.
Century set!!! Going to try this. Great info. Thanks for the video.
Can we just mention how common it is for people to be juiced in the Anglo countries?
A) Because muscles help to push and pull people, so you do weight exercise to be better at it
B) Because pushing and pulling or even lifting people is a weight exercise itself
Wow. Speechless. Dr. Rhadi, wow. Thank you for that Chadi.
🙇🏻♂️
Great conversation! Very interesting look at this subject. I'll admit, I have only a cursory knowledge of strength training, so this was extremely informative.
His strategy doesn't make senses If we consider that you are going to have multiple competitions in this 6 years span to compete in the olympics/nationals/world cups, you are going to have preparation/peeking phases what he didn't include ......
Wanting to be the best in the world is how I see so many guys fall into depression when they fall from grace american coaches are notorious for installing this in the minds of the people they coach I started winning competitions when I realized I had to be the best I could be by challenging and competing with myself I was able to excel.
Please more from Rhadi. He is awesome. I also would like to know what his approach would be for the semi-couch potato old people would be. Goal - just to able to get out of bed and not get smashed by the youngin's
Very insightful Thankyou 🙏🏼 I want to hear the rest 💯
Excellent advice and exactly how you will need to train for that elite level. I build my students just like this but I’m not dealing with world beaters so it’s not as hardcore but this is the perfect formula for the elite.
His answer is based on statistical averages, not reality. Genetics and lifestyle play a huge role in athletic longevity, so setting timelines is ridiculous. Your body will tell you what it can and cannot handle, so listen to it, not that nonsense. The answer to Chadi's question is gymnastics and volume training. Yes, go to the gym as well, but functional training is the key. Gym bros are nowhere near as fit or functionally strong as gymnasts because they lack the mind muscle connection that calisthenics give. Build that farmer strength through practical activity and practice your art religiously - that's how you get to be the best. Don't let anyone tell you your capacity - fight to the bitter end. That's living.
I think his perspective comes from training olympic prospects wherein you already have some conditioning beforehand and what you need to do to ppssibly qualify for the olympics. I believe your perspective is for lifelong training and longevity which is applicable to most of us since we either started late on the sport or were not already athletic .
@@0b3ryn29 Indeed, but I'm also saying that a person shouldn't limit themselves based on averages. A 31 year old is more than capable of competing in the Olympics, despite many not being able to. All it takes is dedication and the willingness to train like a beast.
@Constant State Of Flux I totally agree it can be done by natural means. That's how the human body is supposed to function. The people who say you can't get what you need through food alone are either deluded or selling some bullshit.
Short answer:
Freestyle, Greco-roman and Judo wrestlers compete in Olympics. Different level of training regime.
PS: As for BJJ wrestlers, they're all on PEDs.
it’s from roids, if you are a natural it’s hard to gain muscle while doing a martial art because of how much calories you are constantly losing from all the training, you can get toned and ripped but putting on real weight is hard
What the fuck?! Training periods. You focus three months on building your muscles. Even without it you train like 2-3 times a day.
You do know that we are tested for competitions right ?
@@yourstruly6520 Bullshit!!!! Nobody is tested for bjj tourneys. That is extremely rare.
@@jujitsuman9934 In Judo there are tests in basically every big competition.
@@chinkauri3550 Yes the Judo players are tested for sure.
These comments are awful. Thank you for posting this @Chadi. It was very informative!
TL;DR : Laughable drug testing protocols in the ADCC
One word.... Gear
Excellent episode.
Will you post the entire interview?
I like Dr Ferguson
An almost interesting discussion. I felt - respectfully - that you interrupted him too much, Chadi. It seemed to end abruptly. And the headline didn't match the content.
Why do you make such clickbate titles?
It was an interesting discussion nonetheless.
Something that helps for me a lot is running. Usually I'm the last person standing during randori because so many others don't train cardio or efficient use of cardio.
You shouldn't lift really heavy weights just prior to a competition. You should start light and end heavy over a period of four months and have a month off from weights prior to your first tournament. Thats my advice from an ex triathlete now a 3rd kyu Judoka.
Judo in israel is hard i fought in Europe in russia in Germany but israel they all kind of mixed i had hard time there
They also juice allot usually not vegetables lol
Oh, this man is awesome!!!
When are we getting the full interview
Grappler guy is body builder strongman but added with some velocity, agility, flexiblity.
Gordon Ryan uses steroids.
Who are the two jacked guys on the cover of this video? From left to right.
Just do the conjugate system
You REALLLY used Gordon Ryan the most notorious juicer in sporting history? Cmon man.
Rhadi Ferguson is the MAN when it comes to strength and power / condition in sports and DEFFO for Judo/bjj/mma
Clicked for the comment section. OBVIOUS reason🥴
That was a very longwinded way of just saying "do linear periodization and get more sport specific as you get closer to your competition"....extremely bread and butter sport training S&C approach...if anyone was looking for an actual answer. By the way any serious hobbyist wanting to get jacked but also improve their judo can do this, you don't need to have champion competitive aspirations. You could also do a concurrent approach, where you have GPP/Hypertrophy day or days during the week and then a strength/explosiveness day during the same week. Would separate them out a few days in between. You could also undulate intensity in weekly waves...week 1 light weights high reps...week 2 moderate weight moderate reps... week 3 high weight, low reps...deload the 4th week if you are feeling beat up...if not...just repeat the cycle. This stuff is not that complicated. Many ways to skin the "jacked and functional" cat.
Also need to remember there's no drug testing in jiu-jitsu...
Doc describes and prescribes the workout
The dude : i don't think i want to win that much
When everybody trains the same technique, then size and mass are factors
Now I understand why Chadi sometimes you make silly statements on your chanell,which is btw fantastic!You started judo at 27!!??you are black belt Aikido right?there is a time schedule for everything as Ferguson said.
Btw long time ago as a doctor i was involved in a study in comparison of how hard and difficult dif sports are.And that study came to the conclusion that 2 sports are the most difficult to do. Wrestling and Judo!A number of muscles we use in order to perform our judo /wrestling techniques is far greater than a number of muscles used to punch, throw ect.
Legend has it that the Olympic committee made morote-gari illegal because no one could stop Rhadi from performing it…
Guys please is there such thing as de ashi barai from cross grip i saw this thecnic but im not sure of his name
This is awesome
Where can I see the full conversation?
It’s on my channel uploaded recently
Hello everyone. I have done Judo for a short period of time, but have lost all motivation. The workouts are so intense, that I agonize going. Do you think BJJ conditions as hard as Judokas do? I’m looking for something less intensive where it’s technique heavy, and less of doing 100 pushups and 100 burpees. Nothing useless for self defense like Tai Chi should be mentioned
Dr. Ferguson is delivering stone cold truth. It takes dedication and a single minded focus to become a world champion. You must exercise and train 7 days a week at the bare minimum to be a contender.
That's retarded your muscles will never heal
Because they use steroids
i appreciate thischannel but because martial arts is about self defense and survival, bushido the sports aspect is such a crucial part but the public gets so fixated on the sports aspect they get blinded to the true nature of the activity, playing pickup ball or a game of golf doesn't require being a pro athlete and its even more the case in a survival activity or technique like martial arts training because learning or participating in many activities even utilitarian life skills just to have experience with them you will benefit and make gains.
Wow, knowledge!
Is there a second half?
Yeah those are my thoughts
Are we not going to discuss the advantages of testosterone? I use it, and love it! Let's quit the nonsense and just be honest about it!
Steroids?
Any chance you can do a video on Yuki nakai?
that is not how most people look at GPP....
Competitors at highest levels take steroids. They have the mindset that they will do whatever it takes to win.
good stuff
jus wiki'd this guy, he was kimbo slice's cuzin! yo that's a legacy fighting family right there
No regular rest day, only if it's needed
