But since here are some advanced martial artists I'd like to know how you handle doing your martial arts and weights and getting away without overtraining?
Well, all of us who combine martial arts with weights, have basically found a way of balancing both, wich is what you need to do. And it is doable without overtraining. But we are all different, what works for me might not be viable for you.
Now, my weeks are not always the same, depends on my work schedule(I work nights) wich means some weeks have a different layout than others.
This is the weekplan I used when I first joined this forum. Its tweaked more now, as I don´t do full body workouts anymore etc. Gives you a basic idea. I used full body workouts as they fitted perfectly with my week, didn´t really feel dead inside until friday
