I have been doing the Stronglifts 5x5 for the past 4 months and finished at full 12 weeks and was going to start again for more gains. but i have found doing 3 days a week strength training and 2 days a week conditioning first thing in the mornings and i also try do bjj most days in the evening depending on how i feel. so i found i was able to do BJJ on average about 2-3 times a week.
Now since i have been on a break from lifting (3 weeks) i found I have far more energy for BJJ (obviously
) but my game feels like it has improved far more in the last 3 weeks with having more energy and being able to concentrate better on techniques and having more energy for sparring i can try more thing and improve them faster.
So i liked the sound of the post at the end of the FAQ by glennpendlay stating that you only need to do 3 big lifts then 10 min of conditioning 3 times a week. To maintain and slightly increase your strength and conditioning. I am aware that my strength is not going to increase at the same rate as it was on the 5x5 but i am looking to improve my BJJ skill first and foremost and strength and conditioning second.
So my question is do i go about the lifts in the same manner as i was doing in the Stronglifts 5x5. so for 3x5 Squats do i lift as say 90kg 5 times for 3 sets then next time i am doing add 1 or 2 kg every time until i can't complete 3 full sets then drop 10% and keep going back up again or do i lift say 50,70 then of the last set 100kg and increase every week as above?
Thanks
