Steve Bechtel is one of the leading authorities on strength & conditioning for rock climbing, with almost 30 years in the game and currently training some of the best rock climbers in the world. When it comes to grip strength for BJJ, there is no better sport to learn from than rock climbing. Although much more than that, there are many synergies between rock climbing and BJJ when it comes to balance an intense sports practice with strength & conditioning. I hope you enjoy this interview with Steve, and how it relates to BJJ, as much as I did.
