I'm currently training 5 days a week (twice a day), with training split between gym, BJJ & MMA classes.
Prior to starting martial arts I've been doing weight training at the gym for the past 7 years, but only started BJJ & MMA 4 months ago.
All my gym sessions consist of 6 exercises of 3 sets each (12 reps/10reps/8reps for each set).
Here's my current schedule, any advice if it's too much/too little, or if it needs any changes please?
Monday AM: Gym focusing on chest & arms
Monday PM: BJJ gi session (1 hour physical & drills; 1 hour rolling)
Tuesday AM: Gym focusing on legs
Tueadsy PM: MMA Class focusing on striking (40 mins physical; 50 mins drills; 15 minutes sparring at the end)
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday AM: Gym focusing on back & shoulders
Thursday PM: MMA class focusing on grappling and ground & pound (40 mins physical, 50 mins drills, 15 mins sparring at the end)
Friday AM: Gym focusing on circuit training using kettlebells (Instead of the 6 exercises/3 sets I use in the other sessions, I do 5 exercises for 1 minute each, repeating each circuit 3 times. It's the least time consuming, but cardio wise most demanding session of them all)
Friday PM: BJJ no-gi session (30 mins physical & drills; 1 hour rolling)
Saturday AM: MMA class (40 mins physical, 50 mins drilling and mixing stuff we learned during the week; 15 mins sparring at the end)
Saturday PM: BJJ gi class (This session is more newbie oriented and less physically demanding. We drill for an hour focusing mainly on basic techniques, e.g. armbars & triangles from the guard, sweeps etc. There's also 30 mins light rolling at the end)
Sunday: Rest
