Why BJJ Strong

Real strength — the kind that wins exchanges.

BJJ Strong is a 12-week, full-body strength program — heavy compound lifting, wave-loaded progression and high RPE — built to make you genuinely harder to move on the mats. Select either the 2-day or 3-day version — they're separate products, so you choose one before checkout.

01

Compound Lifting

Get genuinely strong

Heavy squat, hinge, press and pull work builds the raw, full-body strength that makes you hard to move and tough to submit.

02

Wave Loading

Progress without stalling

A wave-loaded structure pushes your strength up week over week, sidestepping the plateaus flat linear programs run into.

03

Time-Efficient

Built around your mat week

Superset-driven sessions keep training to around 60 minutes and leave enough in the tank for class and sparring.

What you get

The program — and the app to run it.

A periodised 12-week block delivered through TrainHeroic, with a demo video on every lift. Everything you need to train, nothing you don't.

Made for the Mats

Every session is sport-specific — full-body, superset-driven and periodised to build the strength, power and gas tank that carry straight onto the mats. Programmed by a coach who competes.

  • Jiu-jitsu-specific programming
  • Complements your mat week
  • By a competing coach

The benefits

Built to make you a problem on the mats.

01 — Strength that transfers

Harder to move, tougher to submit

Real compound strength shows up everywhere in grappling — controlling position, breaking grips, surviving bad spots. No one ever lost a roll for being too strong.

02 — Built to progress

Three phases: Intro — Strength — Power

A wave-loaded structure adds strength week over week and dodges plateaus, finishing with a power emphasis that makes your new strength fast.

03 — Durable, not delicate

68.8%

of grapplers take a 2-week-plus injury layoff over three years. Getting genuinely strong is one of the best ways to halve that risk and stay training.

04 — Two schedules

Choose your version — 2-day or 3-day

Select either the 2-day or 3-day version — they're separate products, so you choose one before checkout. Time-efficient supersets keep every session to around 4560 minutes.

What grapplers say

"Six months of BJJ Strong and my strength, conditioning and mobility are all up — and I've stayed resilient to injuries. You can't go wrong."

Chris W.
BJJ Purple Belt
"He knew exactly what I needed to work on. I won my Naga gold medal recently and competed successfully against bigger opponents — that takes more stamina, more power."
MM
Marawan Mansour
Competitor
"It helped me a lot, especially with a knee issue I had. The exercises are easy to follow, it's very well structured, and it allows for resting time."

"Putting in the extra work to look after my body has 100% transferred to the mats. I'm tapping people more and getting tapped less, baby!"

Meet your coach

"Your training should make you harder to deal with on the mats — not wreck your week."

BJJ Strong is built by a coach who competes. Every phase is shaped around the reality of training jiu-jitsu several times a week — leaving room for classes, sparring and recovery while still building real strength, power and a gas tank that lasts. No copy-pasted bro splits. Programming that respects the mat.

Questions

Good to know.

What makes BJJ Strong different +
Training for BJJ isn't bodybuilding or powerlifting — it's training for performance. BJJ Strong is a pure-strength program: heavy compound movements, wave-loaded progression and high RPE, built specifically for grappling. It uses a full-body approach with supersets to stay time-efficient — and it's designed to complement your grappling, not detract from it.
How is it different from BJJ Strength Foundation +
Both build grappling strength. Strength Foundation is the ideal starting point if you're newer to lifting — a fresh, approachable base of strength and power. BJJ Strong leans heavier into compound lifting, wave-loaded progression and the familiar feel of powerlifting (it's not a powerlifting program). If you've got lifting experience and want serious strength, Strong is the pick.
Is it suitable for beginners and white belts +
Yes. BJJ Strong suits all experience levels — from day-1 white belts to competitive black belts. If you are brand new to lifting, BJJ Strength Foundation is the gentler on-ramp.
Is this a subscription +
No. You buy BJJ Strong once and keep it for life — one-time payment, lifetime access. No subscription. No auto-renew. The 2-day and 3-day versions are separate products, so choose the one that fits your mat week before checkout.
What's the time commitment & equipment +
3× per week, around 60 minutes per session. You'll want access to standard gym kit — barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, bench, rack, weight plates, bands and a medicine ball — though most movements have substitutions.
How do I access it +
After checkout you get instant access through the TrainHeroic app — log workouts, track loads, hit rest timers and watch a demo of every movement from your phone.
Is it suitable for women +
Absolutely. BJJ Strong suits anyone wanting to get genuinely strong and reduce their risk of injury on the mats.
What's your refund policy +
We stand behind the program with a no-questions-asked 14-day money-back guarantee. Not happy within 14 days of purchase? Email us and we'll refund you in full — no proof of effort required.
