After spending several years primarily lifting as my only fitness activity, with the occasional running mixed in, I wanted to try something knew.
Went to a BJJ class because UFC and JRE convinced me it would be awesome, and it turns out it pretty much is.
Been training a few months now and have barely lifted since I started, every time I lift I end up underperforming in BJJ the next day or two because I'm too sore.
Anyone with experience doing both have tips? Or do I need to kiss my gains goodbye to switch focus?
Your gains will fade away but you can still stick to strength based lifting and make gains. 5/3/1 does wonders.

bodybuilding is gay, just do some bjj specific conditioning exercises when ur rested and it wont interfere with bjj sessions

BJJ will make you better in every way. Bodybuilding is for faggots.

Lifting is great for grappling, don't give up your gains just yet, look at high level wrestlers or judo men, all fucking jacked
Ayden Bailey
Just do both and sleep more. EZ.

When I started martial arts, it was difficult for me to eat enough. BJJ is surprisingly consuming, you need to eat like a fatso even when cutting, and when bulking, well...

Look into calisthenics
