Hey all , after 12 years of having a dislocating shoulder. I finally got it fixed and cleared by my Dr for jujitsu. Been training about a month now again and so far so good. I have a Naga tournament in Houston Oct 22nd so it's time to get ready. Think im gonna run 300 test 300 bold cyp and 10 mg halo last month with 30 mg game day. Im currently using the juggernaut ai for bjj app gor my strength training. Usually train 3 days jujitsu, and then lift 3 days might start lifting 4 days if my schedule allows. I work shift work so half the month I'm working nights at the plant. I'll really have to monitor my sleep and recovery. Diet and mobility, cardio is also a must.

I'm going to compete 199 and currently weighing 218.

Today's workout .
Worked up to 315 x 15 box squats
Did 5x5 board press bench. Got up to 315x2 at the top. Didn't get the 3rd rep. But it's progress since I had 2 shoulder surgeries in the last calender year.

Did this for accessory

And afterwards ran a mile.
Sounds like you got the BJJ bug lol. My last tournament I competed 4 times thru out the day it was rough . The second match was the one I looked forward to the most black belt MMA guy sadly he was just technically superior which dominated my strength.

You can really geek out on the mechanics of all the different ways you can manipulate control and direct or redirect energy with every part of one’s body BJJ is no doubt a super power . Just be ready and prepared to be humbled at any moment there will be periods of frustration and times you feel like you have stalled out. I have my purple belt and I’ve been doing it almost 6 years. Being explosive and having endurance goes a long ways practice maintaining steady breathing thru intense periods if you can’t breath you can’t perform .
