I recently started Brazilian jiu-jitsu no-gi on top of my weight lifting routine. I typically lift weights in the morning, 5 days a week, and then add BJJ no-gi training 3-4 times a week in the afternoon after work. What do you think is the best way to do both without overtraining and avoiding injuries?
What about trigger sessions? As I understand, if I train jiu-jitsu 2 times a week, I do 2 strength workouts, and if I do 3 jiu-jitsu sessions, I do 1 strength training session. Can you explain this better?
How much strength training is good without overdoing it if I currently do strength training 4-5 days a week and am starting jiu-jitsu 2 days a week?
