Some small points that will help:

-The weigth lifting is not about bodybuilding or building muscle size at all. Its about raising the strength levels in a few important fullbody lifts. Focus in on just a few exsercises and do what you can to get stronger in them. A good basic selection is the squat, deadlift, benchpress, barbel bent row/chins, military press. In other words whery minimalistic and fullbody/core oriented. 1 or 2 lifting days a week is just about right and prepare yourself for the fact that the added stress on your cns will hinder you from training hard 5 days every week, throw in an extra day of complete (or active ligt excersice) rest. Also throw in a back of week here and there when needed...
QFT.
