I have been training in Jiu Jitsu for years and i have recently began training San Shou (the guy who teaches it is an ex-special forces guy and teaches more than just San Shou in his classes) for my stand up. I have access to a weight room on campus at my college and i need a workout i can do to increase cardio and overall strength.
Also any tips you can give me about inside the cage would be helpful too, lol.

when lifting 90% of the time go medium weights high rep because the strength you use lifting weights and rolling or being clinchd with someone are really differant and usually a body builder just plain doesnt have the muscle enduarance to roll with someone for 3 3min rounds and will end up just holding onto someone
always work on your hips, your hips are a big part in any part of fighting, from gettin in/out of a submission to improving position to gettin more powerful/faster punches
and always be willing to learn from any1 and every1
im only 17 but ive been training for a lil over 2 years and i hate it when someone older then me comes in and gets mad casue i submit him or wont let me show him something to improve his game because im younger
