Hi all, I'm currently in the midst of some forced time off from my chosen sport of BJJ which has given me some time to think about my programming. I've come to the conclusion that I'm severely missing any kind of basic endurance work, which is impacting my overall work capacity and ability to recover effectively. I'm looking for advice on a) whether this is accurate and b) how I can address this without stressing my body too much. My current week looks as follows:
Mon - BJJ - technique and hard sparring
Tue - 5/3/1 Front Squat & Military Press with sled push for conditioning
Wed - BJJ - technique and hard sparring
Thur - BJJ - technique and lighter sparring
Fri - 5/3/1 Trap Bar Deadlift with sled push for conditioning
Is there anything I could tweak or add in to condition my body a little more for the wear and tear BJJ subjects the body to? I've never been 100% confident in my conditioning, particularly when it comes to competition and I'm keen to get some ideas on how I can improve things. Should I introduce a couple of steady state cardio sessions into my week? Would I benefit more from 2-3 days of S&S?
I'm at a bit of a loss where to go from here so would rather reach out to this community for some educated advice
