Jiu Jitsu and Bodybuilding

[AndrewS]

Hi all, I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I bodybuild (not competitively). I've found that its very difficult for me to make gains for whatever reason. I think it may be due to the cardio and muscle endurance factors of BJJ don't work hand in hand too well with BB. I eat very well and train very hard.

I seem to get stronger, but my body doesn't seem to want to get larger. I'm 6ft 71 kg

If anyone wants to know my routine is a 4 day per week routine in the gym with 3/4 days a week 1.5 hour BJJ sessions a week.

Does anyone have any advice on this? At the moment I'm just strength training, but really want to bulk up a bit more. Any tips would be fantastic thank you!

What does "I eat very well" actually mean? Post your daily diet, calories, macros etc. Cardio won't stop you gaining weight, not eating enough will.
