i definitely feel less is more when it comes to bjj training. i started bjj because i had a shoulder issue and couldnt lift took me 3 years and half my strength to admit that i had a problem lol. but honestly when i train 2-3 times a week each training session feels impactful, while since ive been training more jits usually 4 times a week, there are 100% days that feel i didn't learn anything, on top of not being able to lift what my warm ups were when i was doing bjj 2 times a week. My training philosphy now is whatever gives me the most +1 sessions, i could train 3 days a week and get a +1 each day, i could also traing 5 days a week and only have 3 +1 days and 2 +0 days, except now i have more training stress added into the mix
I was a powerlifter who had some injuries and didn't lift for 2 years and started doing jiu-jitsu 8 months ago in the worst shape of my life. I was absolutely being destroyed by everyone and about 2 months into it started lifting again and I am probably about 60/70% of what I was. I can confirm that getting stronger has helped me alot and I am hanging with people that I couldn't before and rolling hurts alot less. I can also confirm having thick legs makes it hard to land triangles
31 year old blue belt, also new dad. I used to do bjj 3-4 times a week, and running/weightlifting 2 times a week. It was to much for me, after 2 years the right side of my body from head to toes started aching and at one point I was walking om crutches. Now Im having a hard time recovering from bjj 2-3 times per week. Going to try your app. Love your videos./Viktor
@@bulletproofforbjj as of now going 5-6 times a week to jiu jitsu and lifting 4 days out of the week has been the golden spot, where I can train and see improvement, and not be constantly be burned out. But I don’t go as hard in jiu jitsu, I try focusing more on the training
At 36, things are different. I was in n a bad motorcycle wreck, so that definitely affected things but when I was 28 I did 3 classes/day, 6 days/week, plus weights, sauna, and gymnastics 5 days a week and traveled with a band on weekends. I never did a tournament on less than 30 hours of no sleep and I never got injured At Dallas Open, I had to play a gig until 2 am in Abilene, then drive 6 hrs straight to be on the the mat at 9 am and I won gi and no gi. Now at 36, 3 weeks into starting BJJ and muay Thai again, I haven’t been able to train more than two days and I’ve been injured for a whole week now 😂
I have a well-balanced approach to BJJ + Lifting/mobility, I do: 3 to 4 - 1 to 2 hour BJJ sessions per week + 4 Lifting/mobility - 40 to 60 mins sessions per week. 🥋🏋♂️
I can only make weekend classes due to work commitments. But I take all the classes on Saturday and Sunday back to back making that about 4hrs each day. Would you still count that as 2 sessions? Or is that too much?
I'm definitely a gym bro and if neglected my my mobility. I talk about mobility experiences with my gym bro bros and look at me and say Bro, what?" Lol
Trying to sort this out in my life right now!
hope this helps!
I’m so excited for the new app
thanks for being excited!

My joints wound file a lawsuit against me
hear that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your joints would be entitled to financial compensation
In my first month I went to bjj 8 times and worked out 5 times a week and it didn’t last long, felt constantly burned out and the need to sleep
Thats a tough regime to maintain. Where is your training at now?

@@blast5558 Sounds like a lot but you are making it work for you which is the main thing.

I've found it's better to do dynamic stretching before your workout or training and static afterwards
Awesome I can’t wait for new app
thanks for getting pumped about it!

Have any recommendations for the 10min mobility session before BJJ? What kind of exercises do you typically see? Thanks
When is the app coming guys?
