Should do you BJJ before you lift weights? That’s a question I get a lot from people who watch the channel.

In this video I share a Friday session we had at the gym. It started off with BJJ and then Joe myself and a couple of the guys went over to do a lift.

I already knew what was going to happen. I was going to be weaker.

Along with making the muscles looser which is not optimal for strength or safety when lifting. It also depletes a lot of the materials your body uses for muscle performance.

During the weight training session I share a supplement Joe and I use after really tough training sessions, especially if we have to train again soon.

And we also answer some questions from my Friday Instagram Q&A. We got a little silly with some of the cussing so if that bothers you, then you may not want to watch.

But all in all, I wouldn’t recommend doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu before lifting.

And if you’re wondering what I typically do. I try to seperate them by several hours. Always doing lifting 1st if possible.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Recently our friend went to another BJJ gym for training recently and he’s been bummed ever since.

During the training session at this other gym he felt like he didn’t know anything. And he knows that he will be up for promotion soon at his gym. But he says he doesn’t want it now.

Basically he says he is a BJJ White Belt who feels like he isn’t worthy of the Blue Belt.

In this video I share my thoughts on his struggle with his upcoming belt promotion and how he feels with his BJJ training in general.

The big idea I try to share in this one is that it’s a mistake to judge your whole experience and enjoyment in BJJ solely off having a tough set of rolls at another gym.

The patterns and styles are different.

I was talking to my guys about this recently. Where I explained that most of my Purple Belts give me more trouble than the Black Belts I compete against. Which isn’t about technical ability per say.

If you’re having a similar situation regarding feeling worthy or ready for a Blue Belt promotion. Then I hope this video is helpful.
