New plan

Actually they are wrong I'm not gonna sugar coat it 200 reps is bull. And you can't powerlift and lose weight. If you wanna lose weight lower your weight and increase reps.

And if you do your whole upperbody in one day you either have about 8 hours of free time each day or you're missing some exercises.

thank you guys for backing up my first point..who has time to do 200 reps of anything in the first place its not sane and its not proper training.....form first reps later..lower reps with proper from beats high reps any day besides when training for agility you dont want too much muscle mass anyway..how would you like to look like some of these guys who cant even comb thier hair because thier biceps get in the way???

Maybe you should take my advise.. I used to compete in bodybuilding and know all about losing fat while keeping muscle mass. Try my work out regiment. If you want to lose fat, you should look at your diet.

Ken, I'd appreciate your input on a post I made a few months ago about working out, training, etc. This isn't my martial arts training schedule, but my work out schedue. I'd like your input on if you know of anything that could replace one of the stypes of workouts I do (or more than one) to better maximize my workouts. I'll make it clear now, I'm not interested in mass or being "big". Not that I mind it, but my goal is simply to have the most power/strength for the mass of the muscle. In other words, I don't want to be big with as much or less power than someone that's not got muscles as big as mine, for example. So, the max power/strength per ounce, I guess you could say. Also, being tone and definied is not a problem for me.

I should also mention lastly, that I'm not the type of person to eat a lot of calories in a day and if I didn't work out, I'd probably drop down to like 135 and stay there. So, I have to work hard to keep myself built and strong, but again, maybe you can give me a little advise on how to better maximize my workouts. I don't think there's anything wrong with my workout, as long as I can do it, but suggestions on improvement or agreeing it's the best workout (provided I am able to stay with it) that can really be outlined?

Anyway, here's the URL:

If you give me your suggestions or feedback, please post it in this thread. I'm always looking to improve this aspect, as I'm too busy perfecting the other aspects and I know I am doing well at the working out aspects too, but I'm sure it can be better. Oh, I should mention, that I most definitely prioritize the workout and make sure I do the most effective and most important things first, just in case I get too busy some days to do it all.
