I have gotten my strength up to what I consider a decent level and would now like to concentrate on my grappling endurance so I can roll harder/better after class, I'm going to use the team quest circuit for this.

however, I'd like to still work on my strength with the big three, I lift sun/tue/thur and train MT/BJJ mon/wed/fri/sat

anyone have advice on how to do both? I had these ideas
1) pull/push/squat routine on my normal lifting days, grappling circuit in the evenings of training days, since i train in the morning this would give me about 6 hours to recover
2) pull/push/squat routine in the morning of lifting days, followed by the circuit in the evening
3) combine the heavy lifting and circuit, do only one or two exercises before the circuit, example on the squat day I would do squats 5x5 as my only strength exercise, and then do the circuit
4) stop being a pussy and do both in the same gym visit?

stats:
6'1" - 180 lbs
deadlift: 365x1
squat: 315x5
bench: 175x5

team quest circuit:
8 Reps, 6 Sets, 60 Seconds Rest between sets.
1. Bent Over Rows
2. Upright Rows
3. Military Press
4. Good Morning
5. Split Squat (Left/Right)
6. Squat and Push Press
7. Straight Legged Dead Lift

thanks for any help!
 
2 days should be enough for lifting if youre rolling 4 days a week.
You can do something like:

Bench
Squat
Row
Auxilary excercises like Calves

Military press
Squat
Deadlift
Pullups

Then if ur a hard man you can do the team quest stuff on the third day.
But include cleans. I have the team quest training tape. They do alot of cleans and snatch.
But BJJ should be your primary concern.
 
Some recommendations I'd give would be GVT, EDT Chad Waterbury's Fast to Big.

You can still manage to increase your strength but improve your conditioning if you use the right training method
 
I was doing my heavy sets before BB complexes (all in one session, with pared down version of the split in my log) and it worked fine for me.

For a good while I also did a gutbusting 6-8 sequences of complexes in the AM and then heavy lifting PM - didn't feel too much like maxing, but the lifts were still progressive.

Wow.

A 2 day slit of the push, pull, squat routine and BB complex in the morning sounds well. I would drop one of the exercises on a grappling day
