    Hey guys,

    I'm hoping to pick up some weight training soon. I'm hoping to put on perhaps 5-10kg of mostly lean mass before changing my focus from hypertrophy to strength. My conditions are that I weight train no more than twice per week, and that I avoid going to failure as I love my central nervous system a little too much. I'll likely be practicing Muay Thai twice a week and doing something a little less stressful like Yoga twice a week too.

    Day 1 - Weights
    Day 2 - Yoga
    Day 3 - Muay Thai
    Day 4 - Weights
    Day 5 - Yoga
    Day 6 - Muay Thai
    Day 7 - Rest

    Something like that. For the weights sessions I want to focus on the useful compound lifts (Squats, Deadlifts, Pullups, Dips, Bench & Mil. presses) but I am unsure of sets, reps, and effort in order to meet my criteria of hypertrophy whilst avoiding the punishment to my CNS.

    Comments welcome

    for hypertrophy you will most likely need to lift more than twice a week.

    Will do, TheMachine

    Thanks for the link, Crimson. Reason for limiting training to 2x a week is that I have a very busy lifestyle, other interests etc. all of which require time, which is a limited asset at the moment.

    Be well
