Ernie, not sure if it is ideal, but it will certainly help. Have you seen our article on plyometric boxing workouts, or Bruce Lee’s strength training? These may be useful too.

Personally we would recommend 2 sessions per week, one push and one pull. Then on the other days do cardio or bodyweight training, yoga etc. Keep doing the routine until you hit a plateaux. S long as you are making progress, there is no need to stop. But if you find that the routine is no longer working for particular body parts, you will need to change it, add different exercises, work harder on some muscles etc. But each person is different, so really it is about what your goals are and how you progress.

How long would you recommend you stick to this particular routine for? Would you reccomend alternating a weekly push/pull split for example doing your routine above Mon/Tue + Thu/Fri, and then a different routine the next week, and then alternating back to yours?

Personally I would do this twice a week to allow time for cardio, martial arts etc. But if you are just weight training, then every other day could be doable. Rest and nutrition are essential to quick recovery though.

How many times a week would you do something like this? Would it be a:

Push/rest/pull/rest/push/rest/rest

pull/rest/push/rest/pull/rest/rest kind of thing?
