ok, heres roughly what first part of my post said.

Good advice from Altitude, what he suggests will build the required strength and power and conditioning required for combat sports.

I suggested, the best results i've had from my training are since introducing periodisation a few years ago. basically, training with adapted phases with specific objectives depending on the stage of training, or for delivery of objectives for upcoming fights etc

generally i use:

hypertrophy - mass gaining phase. doesn't have to be used to 'get big', particularly if you have specific weight categories in mind. but great for balancing the body in specific areas that maybe weaker than others (lower back, core, legs etc). generally i lift 12x3 with short rest periods, 3 x per week for around 4-6 weeks, depending on the bodies requirements.

maximal strength - reducing the rep range to around 3-6, heavier weights, still using short rest periods which should encourage development of strength endurance.

Power phase - taking the strength you have built and converting to power output. i use lots of bodyweight stuff (dips, pullups, core rollouts, pressups etc), as Altitude suggested, with explosive movement. plenty of plyometrics too (jumping squats, clapping pusups etc) to increase rate of force development.

Peak phase - getting ready for an event or comp. tapering down any lifting, concentration on skill develolment, game plans, still including bodyweight etc to maintain what has been built.

generally i cover these phases, and dont usually have to revisit the hypertrophy stage, usually tapering off slightly and then going back into strength phase. although its good to revisit once in a while, just to balance any imbalances that may have crept in.

you dont have to train like a bodybuilder for functional strength. i use mainly compund lifts (squats, deads, cleans, press etc). You can introduce any isolation stuff if you feel any particualar area is imbalamced and needs a coupe of weeks concentration.

like i said, rosstraining.com - great resource, have got plenty of new ideas from there.

good luck with your training :-)
