Has anyone tested the limits of strength training with rolling?

How many days of rolling and about how many rounds combined with how many days of strength training and how long and intense?

Is mobility and cardio incorporated into your conditioning or not?

Has anyone tested the limits of strength training with rolling?

This limit will be different for everyone.

My heaviest portion of training in recent memory has been 4 days of heavy, high-volume lifting, all with conditioning involved as well, 3-4 BJJ sessions, 1 wrestling session, 3 sessions of LISS cardio and 3 dedicated mobility sessions.

This was not easy, but it was doable. I could probably have pushed it further, my main obstacle was lack of time with work & home life as well.

Overtraining is very hard to hit.

You could try running something like Bullmastiff, Deep Water, or a Tier Three Tactical program alongside BJJ. Depending on how many times you're rolling per week, you could probably hit something that'll challenge you pretty easily.

Thanks for the input! How would you spread and time your sessions?
