Bulletproof For BJJ 5.0 Launch

SPEAKER_00 0:00

The bulletproof for BJJ app 5.0. That's right. The new app, it's about to drop. We've got to talk about the features, the functionality, and also how you can use it to improve your jujitsu performance. Because I often get questions. People, how do I use this program? Now, we've been uh promising this new app to folks for a couple of months now because it's it's taken a while to get to where we are. JT loves an early promise. Oh mate, I I overpromise, but I will not underdeliver on this. Been slaving away in the background. There's a lot of goodness in the new app that I think people are gonna like. I want to talk about one thing straight up, which is tonnage. So when you do a workout, it's not often the thing that people think about. But if you think about all the kilos you lifted, that is the total tonnage of the workout. And obviously, if you're not good with math, I'm not necessarily the best with math, but if you sum up every single rep of every set, you do them, you do the sum total, that is your tonnage for the workout. Now, simply by adding an extra set or adding a couple of extra reps, you have increased the tonnage. And you can actually really improve your total volume on the workout just by incrementally adding a little bit more load or a little bit more volume. That's what our app does. And now we have stats. So once you've completed your workout, you go back to the dashboard and there is now a tonnage improvement. It shows you how much you've improved. Sick. Which is really good feedback. And I think folks are gonna love that. You know, that tonnage thing is actually huge because you don't look at it, right? You don't think about it, like I'm just sitting there calculating. No, that's right. Maybe if you're a super geek, right? You might, but for the majority of us, like I just get through the sets and you try and go heavier where possible. Yeah. But to actually have it go, like, hey, this is how many kilograms you lifted or pounds you lifted this week or this workout. On that, we do have Imperial and metric. Ah, see. So all our American cousins are going to be stoked because you can have it in pounds, you don't have to do any calculations. Yeah, fucking cool. But people have been uh suffering silently about that for some time now. Poor folks. Um, what else we got? Time in position. So this is the tonnage equivalent for stretching and mobility. So essentially the more time you can spend or tolerate in a given position that's your time in position, this is incrementally how we improve your flexibility and mobility. And so, really, when you're spending more time there, you're developing a greater tolerance for it, eventually over time you can add load. But if to start, like if you can barely touch your toes, you know, we want to get you comfortable there. So with our mobility programs, we are cumulatively building up your time in position. So that is how we are measuring your improvement in your mobility and flexibility training. That's sick. So the stats are there, that's part of the stats piece, which is a new feature in the app. Now tell me this. When we go to the new app, we got a bunch of existing users who are already like, you know, whatever, having their own journey partway through programs and shit. What happens to these guys? So the team is working really hard right now. It's been a bit of a process in the last four weeks to migrate everyone's data across. So if you're week three of cycle two of standards, um, or you're on standards 2.0, wherever you're at, that will still be there. So when you log into the new app, it will be there. Your data will be saved. Your notes will be saved. Mad. It's just that there's a bunch of other features that you can use now. So in the journal, like if you're you're writing down your logging your jujitsu, you're logging um other activities, because there's a bunch more activities that you can log in there now. If you're doing some kickboxing or a bit of MMA training, you can log that. Um your notes will be saved. So you can go back and and and track. The new feature is you can plan. So if you look at your week and you're like, oh, I'm gonna do standards on Monday, and then I might do some kettlebells on Friday, you can plan that in there and you get a little reminder like, hey, you're gonna do standards today. So you can put in like a time and a date, and and so there's a like a planner element to the journal now. That's cool. So I can prompt you to train. Yeah, that's mad. Which is good, and and especially if you're trying to organize your week. Yeah. So I think that uh for folks who do like to do the journal thing, that function is is nice. Yeah, and I I think like for for most of our folks, they would understand this thing of like you kind of you're an athlete across multiple fronts. You want to do a bit of strength training, you want to do a bit of jujitsu, you want to get some stretching in, and you know, maybe you want to do some fucking cardio, whatever, bike ride run. But so you've got these few different kinds of categories of activities, and you have your week, and and we all kind of set out to do it with the perfect split. Yeah, but it's fucking hard, right? So the idea from the beginning of our journal, but we never had this functionality to this degree, yeah, was that you could plan out the week, you could put those activities in, and then the app would track your adherence to those activities. Yeah, and it does that now, which is sick. It does. So here's another big change. Previously, um, not not I probably hadn't thought too much about it. We had based the rings and the and the function of the app based off our training philosophy, which is 233, which is two, two days of strength training, three jujitsu, and three mobility sessions. As a base, as the base for the masses. Yes. And and that's a very general prescription, but we've we've come to that over many years of training folks and being trainers. Some folks were not happy with that. Which is fair enough. The ones that wanted to go hammer. Well, they just want to use it how they want to use it, and fair enough. So now when you first log into the app, you can choose how much you want to do. So you can say, I want to do uh four strength training sessions a week. I want to do BJJ seven days a week. And as a result of you plugging in that info, the rings will respond accordingly. Nice. So the rings, which is how we track and keep accountability, is is once you have fulfilled your requirement for the week, however many sessions that might be, the ring will complete and you will get like a little reward for that, like a little award of once you've completed your rings for your jujitsu, your mobility, and your strength training, it'll go boom, you're the weekly warrior. Ching. Dopamine is yours. You know, and it's it's not, it's kind of nice, right? Because these are like little secret wins with yourself, keeping the deal with yourself, you know. And so it's it's customizable, it's much more customizable now than it was before. Now, I'm gonna put a fucking caution note out there for the new years. People who listen to this going, fuck yeah, this sounds sick. I'm finally gonna give the app a go. Yep. You should follow our base recommendation of two, three, three, because I know even me, I would go about I can choose all I'd be like, and you said it, you're like, I want to do, yeah, I want to do strength Monday to Friday, I want to do Jits six days, and then and then you're just gonna fall short every fucking week. And like and the app will let you know you fell short. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that is right. I'm a shit cunt, I can't even hit my fitness. I wanted to get 17 jujitsu sessions this week. You're better off to start really low. Less and you can win and then add over time, right? And so, like for the new users, like definitely be conservative. The default when you come in is set at two, three, and three. Sick. So it's up to you. I would say if you haven't used our app before, start with that. Yeah, for sure. Because you'll be like certain things on that, like easy. Like if you're already training strength and training G, but no worries. But like getting the three MOB sessions, if you've not done that, you're gonna struggle to get that. Oh mate, it's it it's if it's a new habit, it does take a bit of time and adjustment. Now, breaking news there is a fourth ring. Oh, boom. Dang, stamina, not cardio, stamina. Okay, however, you choose that energy. And so this is something I guess I have fought for a long time because I'm not someone who really believes in cardio per se, but many people have asked for different things. So, um, yes, there is the fourth ring. And so if you want to include running and log that, that will fall under the stamina ring. Yes, yeah. When you log it. Um, and so at the moment, there is one major program in there. There is three more to come very soon. Uh, some stuff that I've been working on with some athletes behind the scenes. Nice, cute little grueling Russian uh programs. Muscle cardio in there right now. Muscle cardio is there. It is not a cardio program. It is 100%. It's fucking not a cardio. Mate, you do it. You see how much a bit of a troll at this point. There's probably a cardio program. No, no, no. But but I was like, there's there's a really good program called Soviet Steel that's coming. That's uh a kettlebell uh complex that um yeah if him used to guess to do, which is destruction. Um there's a nice sandbag one in there for folks who want to get their get they really get their heart rate up. And there's a death protocol. Ooh. Anyway, you'll you'll find out. You get in there, you're gonna find out. But um the other thing which is nice is basically what we're trying to do is upgrade every aspect of your experience of the app. So very soon the assessment will be coming in. So that's not in this latest release, but it will be in the coming weeks. So maybe by the time you see this, not in the coming weeks. Stop over, bro. Sometime in the future, there will be an assessment. It'll be there. And then um, and then we're gonna have a major upgrade to our community. Yeah, right. So we're getting off Facebook, we are gonna have our own community, and it's gonna look and feel significantly better and different. And you're gonna see a lot more of me, Joel be in there when he can. You'll see, yeah, so we're in there more regularly too. Ray will be in there, and we're gonna get a few little features in there from our friends, uh, physios and and other folks to to give input when you have questions about stuff that maybe we can't give you answers for. Yeah. So that's gonna be, I'm excited for that. I mean, through that community, for for people on the outside, for the community thing as it stands, is you can get through to us directly, right? Through the groups. Um, but then going off Facebook will just allow us to do a better job of it. Definitely. And it means also that Facebook isn't tracking all your conversations. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it's it will be our community and it means we can just kind of look after each other. And Zuckerbird can't hang unless he subscribes to the app. As he does do jujitsu. Unless I could choke his face off. Um, but look, I wanted to actually just I got this question the other day, and it was like, how can I best use this app? Like there's heaps of programs in there. How should I use it for best effect? Now, obviously, this depends on who you are, but um my personal recommendation is to choose a program, whichever it might be, a strength program, and then layer in uh regular mobility. Now, if you wanted to do more than one program, you can, but I actually think it's best, like Joe was saying before, it can be hard to get it all done. So pick a program that is wherever you're at. So set the bar low. Well, I mean, yeah, like respectfully, whatever you can do. Make it easy to win. Manage, yeah, for sure. Throw and catch one ball before you start juggling. So uh, even within the app, it will ask you what equipment do you have access to? So this is a new feature too. So if you've got access to a gym, that generally gives you access to everything, right? Like all the programs then would be appropriate. Yes. But some people are training from home, so then Living Room Warrior is gonna be the go-to spot to go to. And then also if you've got a few kettlebells, kettlebell programs are gonna work for you. You know, like we've designed our programs so that you can get a great workout with minimal equipment, but if you have access to a full gym, then it's on. You know, you can go from there. What would be your recommendations, Joe, for someone who is new to the app and not sure how to engage with it in terms of kind of setting their training up for the week? I would go straight to strength 101 or standards 2.0 level one, because there's three levels there, go to go to the first one. And I would I would open that up and I would start training it. And at the same time, I'd go straight to the community page, jump in the coaches group and go, hey guys, hey coach, Ray, JT, Joey, I've just started strength 101 um and fucking, you know, ask it, like ask whatever you need to ask, you know. Yep. It's very straightforward. This is the thing. Yeah, it's like, look, there's two or three days of training per week. We give you all of that information in there, you know, leave a day or two in between. So, but if you feel at anything at any point in the dark about any of that, just be like, hey coach, what do I need to do here? And we'll just tell you, hey, maybe do this. Like it's it's really that simple. And you can access us like at the click of a button. Yeah. Most people don't ask that. No, there's there's a there's a small percentage of people who use the coaching group a lot. Um, but I really think it's like for what you pay, you get access directly to us and the rest of the coaching staff. Yeah. So like use it. And I think also don't be afraid to post a video. Like everyone's pretty cool. Like, I I we haven't really had to kick anyone out of the group. It's like everyone in there's pretty good and the feedback's generally positive. Or if you're not sure and say Ray or myself, or we can't get to you straight away, they'll jump in and say, hey man, do this instead. Yeah. Because we've got people who have been following the program for like three or four years, which is awesome, which I'm I'm very proud of, and I'm proud of our people for being helpful. So I think in that way, the community is a huge unlock to help folks navigate their way through this different thing. When I mean BJJ in and of itself has its own queries and pitfalls. And I think that's where we can help too. If you've got questions that you don't know if you're comfortable to ask your coach, or maybe you're a bit uncertain, you don't you don't want to ask at your gym, you can hit us up or you can hit up people in the community who can help you out. Yeah, 100. And look, if you've got no experience strength training and it's all a bit of a mystery to you, the the programs, like particularly the ones I mentioned, Strength 101 and Standards 2.0 level one, um, they make it really easy for you to learn the shit. Like we're not going to be having you do crazy complex stuff from the beginning. You're gonna be fine. And again, if you get stuck, hit us up. Yeah, that's it, folks. So definitely check out the new app, Bulletproof 5.0.
