I have a big nasty mat burn on my foot near the bunion. I got it last Saturday and it never heals as it busts open every time after rolls. What should I do to let it heal faster? 😩 Should I still roll or just do light rolls to let it heal? 🥲

Hey Jiu Jitsu folks. I sometimes struggle with knowing when to take a rest day. How many days a week do you prefer to train, and how many days to rest?

Day 3 of the year — work handled. 💪 Today was about effort, not vibes: 🏃‍♂️ Mile run 🏋️ KB high pulls 🏋️ KB cleans 🏋️ Alt KB swings 🏃‍♂️ Mile run 🔥 Push-up KB drag throughs 🔥 KB ab twists 🔥 KB tomahawks ⚡️ Mile sprint finish Just showing up doesn’t cut it. Going through the motions won’t move the needle. I see too many people in gyms killing time instead of building something. That’s not how strength — or discipline — is developed. New year. Same standards. If you want results, you’ve got to take ownership of the work. Let’s keep setting the tone 🔥👊

Ran this yesterday and it was honest work. 🏃‍♂️ 1 mile 🏋️‍♂️ 50 incline sit-ups (25lb med ball) 🔔 15 KB cleans 🏃‍♂️ 1 mile 🧱 Roman chair core: • 20 straight-leg • 20 knee-to-belly 🏃‍♂️ 1.5 mile — full send What I liked about this one: • no hiding once fatigue sets in • core stays involved the whole time • the final run is pure mindset Curious— Do you guys prefer workouts that build slowly or ones that rip the band-aid off early? Drop your thoughts 👇🔥

This one was intentionally built to feel like a long, uncomfortable round where you don’t get to reset. Main Work – 3 Rounds • 800m run • 15 kettlebell swings • 10 goblet squats • 10 each side kettlebell around-the-world • 10 each leg kettlebell reverse lunges Finisher • 1-mile run — fast as you can manage Why this is jiu-jitsu specific: This workout lives in the same space as a tough roll — elevated heart rate, constant movement, and no chance to fully recover. • Runs simulate long exchanges and force controlled breathing • Swings build explosive hip drive for takedowns, bridges, and guard work • Goblet squats reinforce posture and base under load • Reverse lunges improve balance, leg endurance, and stability • Around-the-worlds train grip strength and rotational core control • Final mile = mental toughness when everything is already spent This is about learning to stay composed when you’re tired, uncomfortable, and deep into the round. That’s where matches are won. If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere on the mat. 🌊🥋 Drop a comment if you ran this — or if you want more jiu-jitsu-specific conditioning like this.
