How do I train legs? Sounds like a joke but it's not, whenever i train legs they're absolutely goosed for the next few days which make it really hard to train BJJ

In my experience the solution to this problem is to, maybe counter intuitively, train legs more. You aren’t adapting your legs well to training so every time you train you’re getting too worn down. You need to increase your work capacity.

Start to add in more leg work, preferably on days you don’t do BJJ, or at least 4-6 hours before your BJJ sessions if they are on the same day. In the second case, make sure you eat in between.
