What does it actually mean to be strong — and is conventional gym training really helping you perform better?
In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by Coringa Conway, a BJJ black belt, Capoeira coach and strength coach with experience across MMA, strongman, Highland Games, sumo and more.
We talk about why training should be built around what you actually want your body to DO — rather than simply chasing bigger muscles or bigger gym numbers.
We get into:
• Why strongman training transfers so well to grappling and real-world strength
• Why Coringa believes bodybuilding can actually hinder athletic performance
• What BJJ and MMA athletes should be doing outside of the mats
• Why recovery needs to be treated as part of the programme
• How Capoeira develops balance, coordination and incredible body awareness
• Why martial arts may be one of the best forms of training for lifelong physical capability
• The problem with machines and generic gym programmes
• Why carries, kettlebells, clubs and maces are so valuable
• Handstands, crawling and developing real movement skill
• Why your training should always reflect your actual goal
• What to do if you only have 10–20 minutes a day to train
Coringa’s message is simple: figure out what you want your body to be capable of — then train specifically to become better at it.
