You are certainly not overweight then. 90kg is about 190lbs, and for your height, that's not overweight at all. So that's good news.

Some people can lift as many times on the week as they train grappling. But others don't. So it is important that he get familiarized with how his body is going to react when he adds lifting on top of his BJJ.
I would say, keep it short and intense three times a week. Get in, 30-45 minutes of lifting, and get out, with small, weekly increments of weight (5 to 10lbs). If, after 2 or 3 weeks, he doesn't experience any detriment to his BJJ training, then he can increase the amount of time he spends in the gym (either by increasing the time of each workout session and/or the frequency during the week.)
Cuz I luv squats :tongue3: Seriously answer: when people begin to lift with the purpose of gaining mass, squats are the way to go. People can do them several times a week, for a period of 5-6 weeks. After that, they need to drop the frequency or intensity. But the main reason, I think, is that squats helps the body grow when combined with other compound exercises. Originally Posted by Kein Haar
My g/f started lifting back in January (she was always a cardio chick). I came up with a very simple routine of push ups, lat pull downs/assisted chin ups, and squats, lots of it, 3 times a week. In a matter of weeks she made significant, visible gains in muscle tone and size (not counting strenght gains.)
What can I say? I love squats.Read this for flexibility and injury prevention, this, this and this for supplementation, this on grip conditioning, and this on staph. New: On strenght standards, relationships and structural balance. Shoulder problems? Read this.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris -
