Hey everyone

Hello everyone,

Been lurking on the forum for a while but only started "seriously" lifting the past year or so, currently 26 years old,

I only lift twice a week because I do Boxing and Judo about 3 to 4 times a week each aside from that (wish I wrestled back in school, oh well), currently stuck at 275 squat, 135 OH press x 2 and about 20 chin ups or 90 lbs x 2 weighted chin ups. (not 3x5, rep maxes).

Joined lifting cause I noticed strong new guys, even without any technique, were much harder to handle than the weaks, especially in Judo, seems dumb but our gym says strength doesn't matter that much yet just with my weak lifting numbers I'm already noticing much improvement, although I'm currently stuck without knowing what to do, add another day of strength ?

So here's some food for thought

Training periodization when multiple disciplines are involved can be difficult. I am having a hard time with it myself. I weightlift, and I train aerial straps 3-4 days a week. That shit is hard. ..... but not the same kind of hard as weightlifting. I can walk out of straps class with fatigued muscles.... but if I had to drop and do 5 more pushups I would be able to.

I would not be able to do that in the gym after a chest workout.

If after boxing or judo, you could still do bodyweight squats, pushups, a pullup or 2..... those workouts are not fatiguing you as much as your weightlifting sessions. (I guess assuming that you go that hard when weightlifting).

Treat boxing and judo as ancillaries Prioritize your weightlifting. Lift 4-5 days a week. Use boxing or Judo as the freaking warmup. The go move some weight after.

This is going to require you to get your nutrition right in order to support it. The use of well planned meals prior to training, probably some intra, and fast digesting snack in-between.

Lots of sleep

And maybe a little gear. If you are really doing it, this level of training would probably warrant the addition of some PED's .

Appreciate the answer, I try to schedule them on different days or same day but afternoon / mornings.
