Ep. 328: Training Intensity, feat. Dr. Mike Israetel

This week we're joined by Dr. Michael Israetel! Mike is a PhD in sport physiology and newly minted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Josh Vogel. In this episode, Mike teaches the intricacies of training intensity in Jiu-Jitsu. Topics include: the different intensity zones (light, moderate, and hard), their respective roles in skill acquisition, training intensity during competition preparation, training strategies among partners of varying skill levels, the significance of developing a focused game plan, and tailored approaches for casual practitioners versus competitors.Follow Mike on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drmikeisraetelSubscribe to Mike's YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@RenaissancePeriodizationGet Mike's app, RP Strength:https://rpstrength.com/Mental models discussed in this episode:Staying Loosehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/staying-loose/Form to Leave Formhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/form-to-leave-form/Ecological Dynamicshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/ecological-dynamics/Training Handicapshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/training-handicaps/You Are What You Trainhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/you-are-what-you-train/Compatible Intenthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/compatible-intent/Resulting Fallacyhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/resulting/Defend With Purposehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/defend-with-purpose/Asymmetric Warfarehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/asymmetric-warfare/Tokui Wazahttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/tokui-waza/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.
