You can train super hard and kick the crap out of your body but that doesn't make you stronger - it's only after you RECOVER from training that the benefits of training manifest themselves. 

Too many athletes focus entirely on the training component and neglect recovery, but ultimately you need to be as focussed and diligent on your recovery, recuperation and rehabilitation as you are on what you're doing in the gym!

If you haven't done so already, check out the brand new instructional I just released with Rob Biernacki called 'The Submission Formula'.  It's a conceptually based, scientific, and step-by-step approach to catching more people in submissions and then finishing them, even if they're much bigger and stronger than you.  More info at https://www.grapplearts.com/submissionformula

Good luck with your training and choke someone out for me!
