Have you ever considered quitting the gym for good?
#10
A few years ago I injured my shoulder doing a stupid routine to build your bench press up & decided I was going to quit forever. I had more time & I still did not get obese, but for some reason, after two years I began to get urges to train again...maybe this time it's going to be different?

It wasn't, I was still doing everything Truthseeker states, such as spending hours on the net trying to find the magic formula. Then I decided, knowing that I did want to do some lifting, to do just three exercises, one for my shoulders, biceps & back. None for my legs, especially since I now possess a rear that most girls would be jealous of from doing stupid squats and I believe my legs get trained when I run anyway. I only lift once a week & on many occasions...once a month, I run two or three times a week. My strength in each of the respective exercises has not decreased & even increased, slightly. I wish I had trained this way in the past. 

I do martial arts as well & though I believe weights & running help in that it keeps one healthy, I don't believe it enhances your M.A skills. If anything weight training too much impacts negatively, as it affects your recovery rate & you can't concentrate on the art it's self. 

Most sports fighters, as we here all know, are on the gear anyway. That's why they can do both & look the way they do.
