What is your advice on nutrition?

See out FAQ page for some of our basic guidelines concerning nutrition.

How should I use this protocol if I'm also training BJJ during the week?

The intensity is low enough that experienced Jiu-Jiteiros should be able to use this protocol and continue "rolling" during the week with little to no ill effects. Ultimately it is smart to pay attention to your body and rate of recovery following a training session in this protocol using only 2-3 of these sessions a week until your recovery rate improves.
