Hi BBM community, I am looking for some programming advice. I have run SS in the past and have some lifting experience. I also train jiu jitsu 3 times a week and do one boxing class a week. These classes usually run on a monday, wednesday, friday schedule. So on my off days i would love to work on some barbell training to get stronger and build some muscle. I realize there is a potential for over training so that is why I would appreciate any advice on how I should incorporate lifting, how many days a week, reps, sets etc… Thank you for your time and help. ---

Hey! I’d probably pick a 2 to 3 day program, maybe like the general strength and conditioning program from BBM and adapt it. [General Strength & Conditioning Template - Barbell Medicine](https://www.barbellmedicine.com/shop/training-templates/strength/general-strength-conditioning-template/) This probably has more lifting in it than you have time for, but I think picking a template that is more or less in line with that you want to do, then adapting it to fit your time is probably the right move. ---

Thanks Dave, I am going back on the beginner template for now as i have had to reduce my BJJ time as we just had a our second child and my son is 2. So busy days for sure! I am going to do all 3 phases of the beginner template and see how it goes.
