Lifting weights and doing Jiu Jitsu

[BillyJ]

Hello I am new here and wanted to ask if Lifting weights really hard with heavy weights and doing jiu jitsu in the same day bad? I am 46 years old now and it seems I am not able to do everything like when I was younger. I could hardly lift my arms to drive home the other day after Jiu jitsu. The pain was really bad. Thanks for any help here.

Muscles need recovery time.

I would brake it up on days for sure. The type of lifting you do also will change a bit.

Find someone that will Hollywood roll with you. i dont know what other names there are for it. Thats what Erik Paulson calls it. Its when you roll no more than 10 percent power and speed and you kinda let each other accomplish your sweeps and catch and release submissions. You dont really resist anything you learn to go with the flow. Used to warm up doing that in CSW class. Helps a lot to get new movements down to.

I was wondering what you mean by the type of lifting?

always lift before you roll.. just what i found because after rolling if you dont have some random injury the sheer exhaustion will hold you back from being able to hit the gym later. when i have time i do a morning lift and evening jits.
