Hello everyone,

First post here, obviously. Just had a couple questions about fitting my training, conditioning & weight-lifting into my schedule. I've coming off a half-year layout from training from my gym. Bout 6 months back I totaled my Vette & I haven't been about to travel my 2+ hours to & from my gym, since I have been stuck w/ an unreliable ol' pickup that likes to overheat. I have been training @ home though. I have full weight-lifting equipment, heavy, double-end & speed bag, etc. Anyways, got me a new vehicle & I'm ready to get back into the real mix of things. I'm pumped... Problems though, college starts back in less than a month, & I have to fit in both my training & strength/conditioning work. Blah...

M-F, from morning to 5 pm, I have to deal w/ college + work. After that, I'm good. Here's how I currently imagine my schedule.

M: Training
Tu: Light Cardio
W: Strength-training(if not still sore from previous training)
Th: Training
F: Day Off
Sa: Light Cardio
Su: Strength-training(if not still sore from previous training)

Yeah, everything's kinda scattered. Problems w/ this is the fact that it takes me quite a while to recover from a good workout or strength-training(atleast a day, sometimes 2), so either one could interrupt the other. & I'm not sure how wise it is to work through the soreness, & I certainly don't won't to miss one or the other. The last problem I have is I am wanting to cross-train BJJ, MT & boxing. This won't be easy w/ only two days training. I previously trained only stand-up. Doing Boxing on Monday's, & MT on both Wednesday's & Friday's. Now I will be doubling up my classes, one after another & throwing in BJJ.

I guess I will go w/ Boxing/BJJ on Monday's & Muay Thai/BJJ on Thursday's. The sucky thing about that is that I am only taking boxing classes to help improve my boxing stand-up, but Muay Thai is were my sparring is done. I learn much more in MT, but I help refine my technique in Boxing classes. I absolutely hate cutting MT short to simply refine my technique. It makes me feel like I will be losing out of half of my possible sparring experience(which I will).

Anyways, someone please help me w/ my schedule. Any comments/critics? Anything I should do different/change? Shoot, change the whole dange thing around for me if you want. Anyways, sorry for the long post. Hope this post doesn't drop to the bottom. Thanks for any help. -Cold Phyte

*EDIT* - BTW, I was also wondering how I should go about my workout sessions. If I should do both explosive sessions such as plyo's & such, or if I should do both sessions w/ heavy lifting. Or if I should split them up & do one session of each?
