Now Im no expert when it comes to Oly lifting but is the FS superior to the BS(both high and low) in terms of carryover to the snatch and clean and jerk?

I currently train boxing and Jiu Jitsu 3 times a week and want to work a little strength training in with it, but I dont want to over train and hurt myself. I'm not willing to skip either of those as I do this for fun and relaxation, and I will be using the strength training to supplement.

Current schedule is.

Tues. Boxing (1 hour ) Jiu Jitsu ( 90 Min )
Thurs. Boxing (1 hour ) Jiu Jitsu ( 90 min )
Fri. Jiu Jitsu ( 90 )

Any recommendations on a decent strength routine that I could work into my off days and not overtrain? I've looked at the SS program and seems good I'm just wondering if doing this program on Sat, Mon, and Wed, would be too much. ]]> RESQMAN911 http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/working-weights-into-my-week-2468179/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/strength-conditioning-tips-bjj-novice-2467933/ Sun, 19 May 2013 12:46:10 GMT Hi folks, i was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers when it comes to devising a routine specific to BJJ. I am interested specifically in increasing strength, and muscular endurance without a large weight gain. Sorry if this has been done before but i couldn't find any old threads that were really relevent.

Thanks for any contributions! ]]> djrockthahouse http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/strength-conditioning-tips-bjj-novice-2467933/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/diet-condition-relationship-2467709/ Sun, 19 May 2013 05:02:18 GMT I've recently been taking steps to improve my conditioning and am curious as to what the effect a person's diet can have on their conditioning. Something that really got me thinking about this is anytime I see a fighter who appears to be overweight or carrying extra fat, the assumption is always that he's going to have conditioning issues. Now is this based on the idea that he wouldn't have that extra fat if he took his conditioning work seriously or is it that the extra fat/weight is going to force his body to have to work harder and thus tire more quickly? Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me a breakdown of the relationship, or lack thereof, between diet and conditioning. ]]> BobVulture http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/diet-condition-relationship-2467709/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/usefulness-high-rep-day-strength-training-regiment-2467369/ Sun, 19 May 2013 01:16:48 GMT What are your thoughts on the introduction of a high rep day for a strength training regiment?

I do SS now, and am operating at my PR or setting a new PR everytime i'm in the gym. But I have also read and heard some conflicting information that high reps can be beneficial from time to time.

I have particular trouble advancing my overhead press and bench press and think I might benefit from doing lower weight, more volume reps.

I was thinking of doing:
tuesday: squat, overhead press, DL/PC - all heavy with a target of 3x5 for "workset"
thursday: squat, benchpress, DL/PC - all heavy with a target of 3x5 for "workset"
saturday: all - high rep, low weight, at about half PR
sunday-monday: rest ]]> Nemesis48 http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/usefulness-high-rep-day-strength-training-regiment-2467369/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/need-some-specific-help-2-things-2467077/ Sat, 18 May 2013 17:48:36 GMT Hi Everybody, I have lost a total of 130ish lbs over the course of 4 years or so and I got two question/problems.

I have lost a total of 130ish lbs over the course of 4 years or so and I got two question/problems.

First now that I can run faster and further, I am experiencing some problems. I am noticing that I am cramping up more and I just pulled my quad. My best guess is that my muscles are just reaching their limits and they can't handle it. Thoughts?

Second, I have some loose skin (near arm pits, and lower part of stomach; It kinda looks like Bigfoot Silvas lower stomach.) and stretch marks any ideas on how I can get rid of these things.

Thanks, for reading. I would really like advise from people who have lost weight, but all are welcome to give their two cents. ]]> HankScorpio http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/need-some-specific-help-2-things-2467077/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f13/elitefts-woman-woman-who-wants-muscle-2467011/ Sat, 18 May 2013 15:22:15 GMT woman to woman: Who wants muscle (http://articles.elitefts.com/training-articles/woman-to-woman-who-wants-muscle/) Monday: Legs/Calves Tuesday: Chest/Triceps Wednesday Cardio woman to woman: Who wants muscle
