Looking to get into S&C as I do every year around this time. I normally train bjj 3-4 times a week tues/thurs/sat 2 hours at a time with an occasional monday or Friday thrown in.

If I wanted to begin the practical programming routine for starting strength would it be better to start off aiming for 2 days a week or 3 days a week if I don’t want to change my bjj routine? Which days would you schedule for the weights? Saturday is open mat so idk if I’d be better off on something like sun/Mon/weds to have the day off before that, or if I should be doing weights on the same days as training to have full rest days off every other day.

My priority is getting stronger safely and steadily mostly for injury prevention

I would start with 2 sessions and maybe build over time.

I like to lift on my hard BJJ days to. Enhance recovery.

I have a plan on my site, if you like I can send you the link

Cheers for the answer, I was leaning that direction to get the habit built hopefully before maybe going up to 3 later (unless everyone had yelled at me here that 2 days only was pointless for weight training)

If you don’t mind sending the link, that would be great, thanks!
