Do you expect to train on the same martial material year-round? That approach will lead to burnout and stagnation. The intelligent approach is to vary your training throughout the year.

Changing routines is relatively easy for martial arts competitors. For example, they can spend the off-season working on their weaknesses, whether their physical condition or particular techniques, to prepare for future tournaments.

As such, I was pursuing two parallel tracks during the summer. The first was to get my martial reflexes and attributes back up to speed. The second involved experimenting with different lifting routines until I found one I liked.

As of this post, I am still working on my physical fitness and martial arts skills. I am not satisfied with either.
