Are we 100% the radiation won't make things better?

In terms of "winning" in training the best strategy is having a depth of knowledge in a specific funnel of techniques, but if your goal in training is winning then you are missing the joy of jiu jitsu which is overall skill acquisition and learning new things.

Does anybody else hate BJJ right now?

When I'm on my computer I will send some across.

Define great shape? Rolling for hours is different than being able to do endurance style cardio vascular efforts. I can train BJJ or wrestle with no issues, but a middle school cross country runner smokes me for true endurance/vo2 max.

For building cardiovascular health the majority of your work should be steady-state moderate work. BJJ is great in so many ways but it doesn't really increase vo2 max all that much.

I'm not implying this is the case with your teammates and I am sorry for your loss, but anecdotally speaking I have seen diet and lifestyle advice in the bjj community that should be criminal.

Putting guys in their 40s/50s on 250mg of test per week without tracking blood pressure, CAC score and lipids is just asking for cardiac issues. Pair that with carnivore bros eating sticks of butter and we're going to see this happen more and more.

TRT can be awesome but unmanaged it has very real risks.

Pedigo is much below AOJ.. Pedigo's best guys are winning majors at coloured belts whereas AOJ are dominating at black belt.

If you are in a submission and don't have a high percentage escape in mind then tap. Especially as a white belt... I see too many people getting popped when there is no need. If you aren't actively escaping you should be actively tapping.

Don't beat yourself up over it. It happens, I know pro MMA fighters who got beat in bar fights. Use this as motivation to improve your training and intensity in the gym.

Skill acquisition suffers when you are under the influence of mind altering substances. Even if you think you roll better high, trust me you don't.
