| Registered User | When I was working out hard, lifting 4 times a week, I did complete body. But now that I am training hard, I want to get the most out of my lifting in as efficient amount of time as possible. I am thinking, bicep curls, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, and rows, since jiu-jitsu uses a lot of the pulling muscles. Maybe bench and squats for the rest of the body. I hear swimming is good for the body as well, does it require good form because I swim doggie-paddle style?

![]() | Does anybody know if body weight (calisthenics) exercises also have the same effect on muscles (shorting them)?

| Registered User | You are born with a predetermned amount of long and short muscle fibers. You can't change short to long, or long to short, but you can improve the quality of each. Right now I just do body weight exercises, but I don't think lifting could be detrimental so long as it was kept in perspective. Especially in no-gi grappling, strength and speed and stamina can make a huge difference.

![]() | yeah muscles don't really get shorter just tighter. the best thing is to stretch afterwards. the thing is that if you are weight training don't stretch before you lift. Instead spend a lot of time warming up. research has shown stretching to put a dent in your gains. Besides your muscles are stretching as you lift anyways. You can stretch at any other time. weight training is great for any sport. Also I would try to do full out strokes like freestyle, backstroke, etc. when you swim as you are using more muscles otherwise why bother.
