Training Breakdown?

What's the standard breakdown for training in you guys' opinions. These would be the categories i'm talking about..... stand-up, grappling, weight training, and conditioning.

what i'm looking for is suggestions on when to do which of those and how often in a typical week of training. Thanks

Cardiovascular endurance- the heart and lungs ability to distribute oxygen to your body. This is improved by running, doing circuit training, anything that makes you breath heavy for long periods of time.

muscular endurance- the muscles ability to work through lactic acid build up and it's force given over a period of time, you can work this by doing 20+ reps with weights, anything that you just keep doing.

plyometrics- your body's ability to output the most force explosively in a short burst. Olympic lifting, sprints, jump push-ups, jump squats, anything explosive like that.

I'm probably incorrect on something or missing something, and as for when you should do them etc. it all depends on your goals.

muscular strength- the amount of force or weight you can output in one or few repetitions. weight training makes you stronger if done right.

Cardio is super important man, run as much as you can, treadmill, elyptical, hill runs, jump rope. All these are great. Once your cardio is up start incorperating other activites such as grappling and striking, throw in weight lifting atleast 3 times a week and youll have a good workout routine. Dont forget to eat good as well, lots of greens, skinless chicken, steak a couple times a week and lots of veggies. Basically a high protein diet without alot of fatty foods.

Again, my faith is restored with a new face giving good advice. Sweet.

Only thing I object to is the labeling fatty foods as 'bad'. Fats are awesome, carbs much worse overall...but there's good and bad of both.

There's a few questions that are needed to be asked first. How long have you been training? What are your goals? Going pro, etc... What is your back ground, what are you already comfortable with? I would love to give some advice to a younger guy NOT TO MAKE THE MISTAKES I DID! LOL!

Ugh, I'm munching on chips and drinking pepsi as I'm reading this post. It's no wonder I got fat after my injury from ice hockey :o
