I am a big proponent of doing exercise in a variety of ways to assist with grappling performance. You just have to make sure that what you are doing isn’t counterproductive. The biggest example I see of this is lifting without a focus on dexterity. Many times I have seen people begin a lifting program that ends up limiting their range of motion, which then becomes detrimental to their Jiu Jitsu. If you want to lift, I recommend having someone develop a program for you that knows what they are doing and will make you stronger while at the same time keeping or increasing your flexibility. You could also do yoga, Pilates, rock climbing, the WOD class, or so many other things. The key is use the things you do to support each other.
