How to Incorporate the No More Skinny Grappler Program into Your BJJ Training

This post provides tips on how to integrate the most practical strength and conditioning program for building useful muscle, for grapplers, into an athlete’s BJJ training routine/schedule.

OFF-SEASON

NMSG is an off-season program, meaning it is not designed to prepare you for competition. It’s designed to be implemented when you don’t have any competitions on the calendar for 2-3 months.

I made NMSG so you can lift 3 times a week, grapple 3 times a week or more, and be sufficiently recovered to maintain that output so you can build useful muscle on to your frame. You might find that you can grapple 5 times a week or more running this program, just understand that it is for the off-season, not for competition preparation.
