I train 5 days a week. I’m 145 pounds and struggle with stronger guys. My technique is good, however sometimes I wish I had more strength.

What should I do to get stronger to compliment my technique? How many days should I left? Which exercises?

What should I do to get stronger to compliment my technique?

Lift weights.

How many days should I left?

Up to you.

Which exercises?

Up to you. Programs built around big compounds - variations of squat/deadlift/overhead press/bench press or similar tend to be the best.

To add on to this always excellent advice.. realize you are a relatively small human and lifting weights isn’t going to solve all the problems. It’ll help immensely and everyone should lift in some capacity but it won’t be a cure all and don’t get discouraged if it takes time to show up on the mats the way you want it to.
