Love the detail in this, thanks for the plan. I’ll definitely give it a shot. I’ve been training bjj since 2016, but only until a week ago did I finally join a traditional gym 😂 I feel lost sometimes without a proper game plan
So you’ve done it for years not to be weird man but how’s your body ? As far as appearance? Shredded? I’m just trying to see if strength training is worth it or if years of bjj will get me a nice bod
Great video! I've been doing an upper lower 3 day variation (mon upper, wed lower, fri upper) then alterning each week to make sure I have adequate time to recover. I think I'll give this method a try though, it sounds a lot better. Thanks!
Westside powerlifting routine or template - (1) Train 4 days a week (2) Train upper body twice a week, train lower body twice a week (3) One upper body session should be Maximal effort ( Heavy) the other dynamic effort ( Light) (4) One lower body workout should be maximal effort ( Heavy) the other dynamic effort light (5) Rest 72 hours between heavy and light and 48 hours between light and heavy ( Monday to Friday = 72 hours, Friday to Monday = 48 hours) (6) On heavy days or maximal effort days cycle the main exercises ( Front squat, Zercher squat, Sumo deadlift, Safety squat on box with bands, rack pulls) every 2 to 3 weeks ( 2 to 3 Mondays in a row) (7) On dynamic effort day use 50 - 60% of your 1RM and do 8 - 12 sets of 2 or 3 reps ( 2 on Box squat, 3 on speed bench) with accommodating resistance ( Bands and /or chains), the idea is bar speed (8) On maximal effort days work up to a 1rep max ( Example 5, 3, 3, 1,1,1) (9) After the main exercise on all four days do assistance exercises, these exercises are meant to improve your lift. For instance after bench press do tricep extensions for 6 sets of 10 reps, lat rows 4 sets of 10 reps, rear deltoids 3 sets of 10 reps ... This is when you use the repeated effort method (10) The repeated effort exercises or assistance exercises can also be cycled using the conjugate method (11) Relevant muscles for squat/deadlift - Hamstrings, abs, lower back (12) Relevant muscles for bench press - Triceps, lats, rear deltoids, middle deltoids, traps, brachialis/brachioradialis (13) Do only one exercise for each muscle group on assistance moves (14) Do 3 to 5 different assistance exercises. For BJJ the Westside method can be applied as explained in the video. I just explained from where the system stems using a powerlifting example.
Depends on your training goals. I personally like to lift and do jiu jitsu on the same day with my lifting session in the morning and jiu jitsu in the afternoon
Hi Josh. My cardio is good but my problem is muscle endurance. Specially after one big movement my muscle get exhausted really quickly and i turn to vegetable. Its frusttating because I can roll for 3 or 4 more its just that my arms become limp.
I have some videos on this that can help with this. Doing some things like more yielding and overcoming isometrics as well as some Blood Flow Restriction training may be useful. :)
Hi, if you recommend 2-4 accessory exercises at the end of sessions 1&2, using the repetition/hypertrophy method, could you do upper on one and lower on the other? Also, if they’re the repetition method, could you just add them to day 3? Lastly, is day 3 a full body hypertrophy session? My guess would be isolation exercises as the accessory movements and compound movements for day 3? Thanks
How would i structure this into the week? For example is day one on monday and then i take a rest and do day 2 or is it a 2 day rest between days? If so how would that work
I really think this should be done in blocks to be honest. Building familiarity to barbells with less weight more reps, moving to heavy compounds and then speed work and Olympic lifts for power. Usually gearing up for comps as you get closer that youd end with the speed work and power and then taper off a week before comps. Even if not competing, to get the most gains across all areas 2 or 3 x a week dedicated to each area-endurance, strength and then power would be better imo
some aspects of block training could absolutely be included. One of the downsides to block training is that the adaptations created in block 1 don't always last and carry over into block 3. Having a more concurrent or conjugate approach with some elements of block training allow for different aspects of athleticism to be emphasized at different points in the training camp, while still making sure adaptations carry over and are present through the entire camp.
What day would you put loaded carries on? Also do you need to have a dynamic effort pulling exercise or not, and if not could this be replaced by a loaded carry?
Hey man, with the ME work do you bother keeping track of the top set at all or literally just yolo whatever top set you have in the tank on that given day? Do you bother tracking progress or is it something you might check in on every once in a while to see if PRs are constantly being set or not? Love the idea of free a flowing weight training plan in addition to BJJ but having some paralysis by analysis and keep bouncing between possible programs lol.
I track everything! Every ME session is logged on a spreadsheet so I’m always aware of what my PR’s are. If I’m feeling really good, I’ll go back and check what my all time best is and go for a 5-10lb PR. If I’m too fatigued to hit a PR, I’ll attempt to match a previous PR.
I would add the format of the 3rd day to the 2 main workout days. For example you could do it like this: Day 1 - Max Effort Lower + Dynamic Effort Upper + Upper Body GPP or Conditioning Day 2 - Max Effort Upper + Dynamic Effort Lower + Lower Body GPP or Conditioning
That's a GREAT question! However, that is a big and loaded question! Here is a link to a video I made with my guy @PhilDaruStrong that details some of the sets and reps: czcams.com/video/O8gfznzU-Ak/video.html
My son is looking for a strength training program. He has been in jutjizu for a long time but has neglected strength training. Is this suitable for a beginner?
@@joshuasettlage he's 21 and has experience with weight training. Just hasn't weight trained since starting college. He's put on a lot of weight so just wanted to make sure this was safe while he worked on that. Like his joints. I'm into weight training and see these boys get injured at the gym.
@@katherinesmith2365 You bring up some great points. This strength program would still be a good place to start. I designed the program to be beginner friendly and help athletes safely make strength gains.
I have an odd schedule as a nurse, I work 3-12s and can’t not train these days because after a 12 hour work day I give my kids the rest of my time, then have about 20-30 mins to do cardio and core stuff home before back to sleep to get to work. These days are usually stacked, so I work 3 in a row, then have 4 days off where I train BJJ at 6am and 11am one day, then the other 3 days hit BJJ at 6am and then go lift. How would you place these 3 days in that schedule? I am trying to break my work days up a bit more, but it’s tough sometimes. I am a former competing power lifter so huge workouts and recovery aren’t as big an issue as maybe a beginner maybe, but still trying to make sure I do t get hurt ge side I am almost 40 years old now and only 4 months into BJJ.
Maybe look into stuff like Easy Strength by Dan John. If you're doing 20-30 mins of cardio, you can sub those in for mini lifting sessions. Working 3 12s then 4 days of BJJ/lifting sounds like a lot of accumulated stress.
RPE = Rate of Perceived Exertion on a scale of 1-10. 7RPE = working sets should be 7/10 difficulty. RIR = Reps In Reserve. 2RIR means do as many reps as you can in that set, but leave 2 reps in the tank
I really appreciate this! I've been trying to figure out how to manage my workouts and Jiu-jitsu training. I train BJJ 7 days a week and finding the right workout to work with my schedule without fatiguing me completely has been a bit hard. So do you only have 1-2 exercises for the upper and lower section and then fill the rest of the workout with the accessory exercises?
@@taileyeatherton8669 There are no significant differences that need to be taken into account between males and females running this training split. :)
Secondary movements are designed to support the main movement. A Max Effort secondary movement, would be different than a Dynamic Effort movment. :)@@voreqejackson1238
Hi Joshua. When working to a 3RM, how exactly does one do it? Do we increment the load until we feel we can't do it anymore? How many sets should it take?
@@ricardomalhado2895 you want to make sure you're working up / warming up until you reach your top set. Once you hit your top set, move onto the next exercise. :)
If you're doing 2x / week do this: Day 1 ME Low, DE Upper with 1-3 RE exercises at the end, Day 2 ME Upper, DE Low, 1-3 RE exercises at the end. Volume for ME & DE work is primarily based off Prelipin's chart and RE volume is dependant on your training goals
@@joshuasettlage thanks coach. What if these days were Saturday and Sunday. Possible to do ME after dynamic for same body parts 1 day later? I appreciate the help!
Thanks coach. I was gonna try out Knees Over Toes Guys program But I see you also incoroporate som KOT exercises and have collabed with Phil Daru. I finished phil daru’s fight ready program and I’m familiar with conjugate training, But since training more Jits, Your 2-3 day approach seems most realistic for a natural athlete like me. Imma try out the free trial!
@@InvisibleHotdog It's not complicated when you understand the methods that are used in the Conjugate System. Traditional Linear Progression programs have some value in strength sports where the variability of what happens outside of the gym is much less when compared to other athletic endeavors. For Jiu Jitsu athletes, Linear Progression has a lot of limitations on it's ability to prepare them for competition.
On day 1 (MAX EFFORT LOWER BODY), can I do a heavy squat and a heavy deadlift or I need to choose between one of them? The same question for day 2. Hello from Spain: YOU AND DARU ARE THE BEST!!!!
And if i am crurently lifting 5 days a weeks and I want to start bjj ? How can I add it to my training split? I am scared that it interferes with my lifting and I get skinny again (it’s tough for me to gain weight ) Thanks a lot coach, I love your content
Great question! If you're worried about losing bodyweight due to jiu jitsu, you'll need to increasse your daily caloric intake to off set the energy expenditure from Jiu Jitsu training. I've been lifting 3 days a week and doing jiu jitsu 4-6x / week and have continued to build muscle. It all comes down to how you train, how you eat, and how you recover.
Thanks a lot, I wasn’t scared about the caloric deficit created, because as you explained very well, I can eat more I was asking about how to lower the bjj’s interference with weightlifting. When I do bjj I can’t do enough training volume in the gym the next days. Bjj creates a lot of fatigue, when I tried it I couldn’t train as heavy as usual for 2 days because my muscle were sore. Am I going to get used to it ? Any advice ? Is it better if I do a double day and then a rest day ? What can I do in order to start bjj without hurting my bodybuilding progress Thanks
@@toma678 ahh gotcha! Yes, at first BJJ will be VERY taxing and fatiguing and will interfere with your weight training. However, you will adapt and it eventually won't be that fatiguing. My best advice is to focus on dialing in your recovery, increasing your general physical preparedness. :)
Thanks a lot for the answers I will try it and we will see how it goes, maybe I’m going to love it so much that I reduce weightlifting to focus on bjj :) Your videos are really good ( even for someone that is just starting bjj and doesn't understand everyhting) keep it up Have a nice day and thank you again
Too complicated! I train 5 days a week, lifting 2 of those days: Day 1: Bench Press, Dumbbell Rows, KB Swings, Fireman's Carries Day 2 (no-consecutive): Squats, Deads, Fireman's Carries I believe this covers the needed bases! I do no more that 4 exercises on either days. There is freedom to modify or add new exercises...
@@joshuasettlage I would be interested to see how you would schedule a 2 day training session with no more than 4-5 exercises per day. I train with a Certified Cross-Fit trainer and coach and he says what I am doing hits all the points for a program that supports our Jits. What do you think?
I would run 2 days as such: Day 1 - Max Effort Lower + Dynamic Effort Upper Day 2 - Max Effort Upper + Dynamic Effort Lower 1 main exercise for the max effort work, 1-2 secondary strength exercises, 1 dynamic effort exercise, 1-2 accessory exercises The program you laid out has a lot of great exercises!
I don't understand, you say that this workout is the best one for BJJ athletes and then you have another program that you adverstise that is also the best for BJJ athletes
I was skeptical until I saw your ears. Instant credibility.

One question coach. Those 3 days are only for weightlifting? Can you go to a Bjj or MMA class on the same day? After the weightlifting or before.
Yup, you can do your skills training on the same day! I would suggest your workout before your skills training.
How would i structure this into the week? For example is day one on monday and then i take a rest and do day 2 or is it a 2 day rest between days? If so how would that work

Is using those bands required when doing dynamic effort training? Or can you just do the same exact thing without the bands?

I’m already doing similar full body workouts. My struggle is how to balance recovery days with training days
How is your sleep and nutrition? Is it fully optimized for recovery? Those two areas will have the biggest impact on your recovery :)
What day would you put loaded carries on? Also do you need to have a dynamic effort pulling exercise or not, and if not could this be replaced by a loaded carry?
You can fit them into any day, but I personally prefer them to be part of a max effort secondary exercise or as part of GPP work on day 3 :)

And if i am crurently lifting 5 days a weeks and I want to start bjj ? How can I add it to my training split? I am scared that it interferes with my lifting and I get skinny again (it’s tough for me to gain weight )
Thanks a lot coach, I love your content
Great question! If you're worried about losing bodyweight due to jiu jitsu, you'll need to increasse your daily caloric intake to off set the energy expenditure from Jiu Jitsu training. I've been lifting 3 days a week and doing jiu jitsu 4-6x / week and have continued to build muscle. It all comes down to how you train, how you eat, and how you recover.
Thanks a lot, I wasn’t scared about the caloric deficit created, because as you explained very well, I can eat more
I was asking about how to lower the bjj’s interference with weightlifting. When I do bjj I can’t do enough training volume in the gym the next days.
Bjj creates a lot of fatigue, when I tried it I couldn’t train as heavy as usual for 2 days because my muscle were sore.
Am I going to get used to it ? Any advice ? Is it better if I do a double day and then a rest day ? What can I do in order to start bjj without hurting my bodybuilding progress
Thanks
@@toma678 ahh gotcha! Yes, at first BJJ will be VERY taxing and fatiguing and will interfere with your weight training. However, you will adapt and it eventually won't be that fatiguing. My best advice is to focus on dialing in your recovery, increasing your general physical preparedness. :)
Thanks a lot for the answers
I will try it and we will see how it goes, maybe I’m going to love it so much that I reduce weightlifting to focus on bjj :)
Your videos are really good ( even for someone that is just starting bjj and doesn't understand everyhting) keep it up
Have a nice day and thank you again
@@toma678 Yessir!!!
Too complicated! I train 5 days a week, lifting 2 of those days:
Day 1: Bench Press, Dumbbell Rows, KB Swings, Fireman's Carries
Day 2 (no-consecutive): Squats, Deads, Fireman's Carries
I believe this covers the needed bases!
I do no more that 4 exercises on either days.
There is freedom to modify or add new exercises...
This program may not be for everyone. It's always a good idea to play around with different options and find what works best for you! :)
@@joshuasettlage I would be interested to see how you would schedule a 2 day training session with no more than 4-5 exercises per day. I train with a Certified Cross-Fit trainer and coach and he says what I am doing hits all the points for a program that supports our Jits. What do you think?
I would run 2 days as such:
Day 1 - Max Effort Lower + Dynamic Effort Upper
Day 2 - Max Effort Upper + Dynamic Effort Lower
1 main exercise for the max effort work, 1-2 secondary strength exercises, 1 dynamic effort exercise, 1-2 accessory exercises
The program you laid out has a lot of great exercises!
I don't understand, you say that this workout is the best one for BJJ athletes and then you have another program that you adverstise that is also the best for BJJ athletes
The "workout" is not the best, the "principles" used in the workouts are what I have found the work best :)
The video starts around 4:00. Everything else is preamble and sales pitches
Thanks!
Too complicated 😮
What do you find most complicated? I'd love to help you understand more 💪🏽😎
Where. Is. The. Mat. Time? Youre leaving the mat time out.
Mat time is mixed in wherever you see fit
Mat time is a given this is only exercises to improve your body’s function during jiu jitsu
Mat time is 90minx6/wk
No he didn't leave it out. This training is for bjj practitioners, so it goes without saying that it is in Addition to your bjj mat time.
This is the question I actually came to the video to find out. Still more questions.
