Difficult schedule...

[espigao]

Hi,

I looking for some tips about how to combine my weight training (at home, with dumbbells and 160 lbs in plates) with my other sport (Capoeira) and my work schedule.

I train 2h Capoeira Thuesday, Thursday and Friday. This is my fifth year and my main goal is to perform better on it, this is faster, stronger, bigger...

I base my weight training in snatch, clean&jerk, weighted push-ups, weighted chins and pull-ups, squats, deadlift, etc...

For example yesterday: 4x5 1-hand snatch, 3x5 deadlift, 3x10 weighted chin-ups, 3x12 weighted triceps push-ups...

With my volume of Capoeira training, how many days of weight-training will you recommend me? Also, what kind of routine, how many exercises? anyone with similar experience?

I could get 30-40 minutes on Monday or Wednesday, but never sure. Weekends I can get more time, but I'm worried about training 4 days in a row.

Thanks for your help

Train as much as your body will allow. Make sure you eat and sleep enough to recover. In total you will be doing just over 7 hours in activity, not really alot ya know.

Keep your workouts simple and effective. You dont really need huge muscles to do your Capoeira, but rather body awareness and strength.

I think i like u already. lol Simple meaning dont wast time doing 4 machines to hit your back when the quickest and MOST EFFECTIVE way is power cleans, like u said you already do.

Simple and effective: basic movements that hit multiple muscles at once.
