anyone have any ideas?

So here's my dilemma. I'm 25 and an electrician in new jersey and ive been training at renzos new gym for about 1 month. i just moved here from boston and was training at sityodtong before. now that ive got down here things have gotten a little more hectic. i moved down with my girlfriend and got a good job (i'm an electrician) and i work 8-10 hours a day.
When i first moved here (8months ago) till now i've been just lifting weights.(bodybuilder style routine) cuz i want to be jacked, kill me. but since ive started jiu jitsu 4 times a week with 4 lifting sessions a week, ive noticed doing both is VERY tiring during the week, like to the point i am falling asleep on teh couch after work, and missing jiu jitsu. Not to mention i have a 9 month old pitbull who needs exercise AND i have to fit in girlfriend/errand time.
My whole goal was to do jiu jitsu and lift and have a happy medium. But now i'm feeling run down, my conditioning is suffering, and im feeling like i want to stop one or the other. After lifting and eating so much, i went up to about 210. Benching 315, squatting 405, and deading 500. But i feel very out of shape at jiu jitsu. Unflexable, even though i stretch a lot 30 minutes a night. Should i give up the bodybuilding bullshit and just run/do jiu jitsu and get in crazy shape? Any input woudl be greatly appreciated. Also, after trying to live like a bodybuilder for a while, these guys CAN"T be healthy.....My new goal is to go down to 170. Should i stop lifting and eating like a bodybuilder? and just do jiu jitsu and running? THANKS!!
