Maddwraph Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 awht im gonna do before BJJ is the whole upper body with wieghts (biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, traps, and back) on mon, wed, and fri. tues and thurs i will run for 30 minutes without stopping since thats different than the BJJ cardio. abs i will do everday, basics like crunches and stuff. sat and sun are supposed to be my day off, but i work as a busboy on those days. you guys think this is a good workout out routine. this personal trainer suggested i do three upper body parts on mon, three different upper body parts on wed, then legs on fri. and tues and thurs sta y the same, but i dont know if one day of the week is enough for a part of teh body (she did say different exercises for the body)i only have acces to the gym mon wed and fri which is why i workout those days. waht you guys think about this? Im brasilian, but live in the united states. Really enjoying martial arts.

Your legs will help you a lot in BJJ with balance, withstanding the upright grappling, etc.I would split it something along the lines of:Quads, Hamstrings, Biceps and Triceps on MondayChest, Traps, Back, Calves on WednesdayShoulders and compound (Squat, etc) lifts on Friday.Every one of these days work the abs and the lower back musclesGive something like that a try and see how it goes.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
Jay Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Yeh but remember to give yourself rest i only go once a week and i get shattered give your self time to recover dont push yourself to the point of exhaustion The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
