Ok, so here is the problem. When I lift heavey it is impossible to give martial arts the kind of attention it deserves. Especially when it comes to legs. When I lift heavey legs it takes a good 3 to 4 days to fully recover from the soreness. So in preperation for upcoming martial arts camp, here is what I was thinking.

HST style full body workouts, twice a week. Utilizing mostly compound movements at 75-85% of max's in the 8 to 10 rep range. I will also use as many bodywieght movements as I can like pull ups, dips, chins ect. I will prob go with 3 sets on compounds, and what little iso's i do would be 1 or 2 sets depending.

I was also thinking of doing two different workouts, possibly hitting things differently each workout. but thats up in the air.

Weekly break down:
Mon: morning Hiit or complexes, late afternoon 45min -75min martial arts (working my way up)
Tuesday: lift
Wed: same as mon
Thursday: lift
Friday: Same as mon
Saterday: off
Sunday: off

I'm hoping this will allow me to increase endurance/speed, keep strength, and lose fat. Without being too sore.

Diet will continue as is, carb timing and macro's will most likely be adjusted downward as my bodyfat falls.

Let me know what you guys think. I have 3 weeks left of my current program so I will need to figure this out kinda soon.
