What are few thing beginner grappler should focus on in grappling? Also, how to fix trap strains for good. I have had it appear every now and then for years, but since Ive started no gi, left trap is strained on a weekly basis.
Every session we warm up necks and immediately after I feel sharp pain in my left trap no matter how slow I try to warm it up. Also few days ago we were practicing Arm triangle from side. Jesus did that hurt.
Good question: I prob have a lot to say so I’ll give my overall thoughts on things that I see that are important to make a recovery & common places people go wrong
Recovery tips besides “sleep” & “calories/protein” etc? I know those are the most important but at the same time is there anything else that can actually make a difference on top of trying to get the basics in order? I feel like no one says anything besides that mostly and maybe it’s bc it’s all that matters but there’s gotta be something else to help if I can’t sleep 9+ hours a day
