Good weight lifting program to pair with BJJ?

Honestly, if your main focus is BJJ, keep doing that 3-5 times a week. Lift at max 2-3 times a week. I’d recommend doing a full body strength program for those 2-3 sessions of lifting a week. I believe this will be your best bet, because training BJJ 3-5 times a week AND weightlifting 3-4 times a week is a recipe for overtraining and injury.

If I were in your position, I’d train BJJ as often as I could, and supplement it with 2 full body days at the gym, where I do bench, squat, and deadlift with some accessories. Look up Alpha Destiny Novice Program, pretty sure his follows a model that’s pretty good for this type of training.

in a similar boat

Not BJJ but when I was younger I did a ton of boxing training to supplement my rugby regime. So coming from the weight-lifting angle at the time I ran StrongLifts with fairly solid results.

My best results though came from running a 3 day split(lower, arms & chest, then back & shoulders) coupled with Keto. Over 8 months had regained the tightest abs I’d had since my 20’s.

a good split/program

I ran Nsuns before I got injured last year and found that surprisingly good. Might help you too.

Godspeed and good luck!

Stick to compound lifts and lift 2-3 times per week. I suggest the 5/3/1 Program
