If you do lots of sparring that will work your endurance alot, so I'd lift for explosiveness, low reps and sets with heavy weights. Some will say lift for muscular endurance, but if you grappler hard a couple times a wekk, I wouldnt bother. As for exercise the Soviets did extensive studies on their Judo team and found the most useful lifts were the bench(for pushing) the deadlift(for pulling) and the power clean for overall explosiveness. I know that Judo and BJJ are different, but I am unaware of any studies on Bjj, certainly explosiveness is not as required in BJJ as it is in Judo, but it is still nice to have. I wouldnt worry about little muscles like biceps and calves. But you might wanna do bridges, your neck muscles get stronger at an amaziningly quick rate.

I can't, but I can just tell you, to be good at BJJ limber hipjoints are crucial.

Or broken at an amazingly quick rate. There are much better exercises for your neck than systematically destroying your upper spine.

It's not the only decent grappling book, but it is very good

I've seen the techniques they demonstrate in that book, and they are okay, but not what I'd call really technical. For good books on BJJ, go to www.bjj.com.au

Before you buy.
