In recent times, Galvao has been winning tournaments and proving he’s only getting better with age. The scary thing about this is that he’s 37 which is relatively old in terms of being a professional grappler…especially at the highest level.
One of the reasons for his success could be due to his impressive strength. Today he uploaded a video of him squatting 200KG of weights which proves his ability. The video racked up over 60,000 views in under 12 hours. It also adds the idea that weightlifting is very important for competitors. Whilst this may not be needed for hobbyists, it is something used commonly by elite grapplers. It’s no secret that getting stronger can complement your technique – and it’s no surprise that Galvao is one of the best at the moment who is also massively strong.
