Hi folks

jpmbujutsu's thread on his current training routine inspired me to post my own.  Feel free to post criticism and suggestions.

Heck, I'll even respond if you tell me I'm a wimp and you make your toddler work harder than this 

Day 1-sparring:striking only, wrestling only and/or mixed striking and wrestling; drilling as warm up/cool down
Day 2-biceps, triceps, core and legs; drilling optional
Day 3-swim 1k; 9 2min rounds on heavy bag; core optional; legs optional
Day 4-chest,shoulders,core,legs;drilling optional
Day 5-swim 1k;striking drills;wrestling drills;core optional
Day 6-off
Day 7-swim 1k;striking drills optional;legs optional;core optional

My problem is I don't vary the components enough.  I have a tendency to do say, the same drills or the same combinations or the same weight training exercises for too long.  I'm trying to force myself to change some component every 6 weeks.  Since I've begun studying CQC training mission 1, its become alot easier to swap in different drills.  But I still have to force my self to change what I do for weight training and cardio.  What worked pretty well  in the last 6 weeks was to replace lifting weights with strictly body weight exercises.  At the same time, I focused on keeping the lap times at or under 1:20.  Now I've swapped out the body weight exercises for dumbbells and and starting to swim sprints.

I saw increases when I switched to body weight exercises and then switched back to weights.

My workout is endurance heavy.  When I was younger, endurance was a problem, so I tailored this workout to correct it.

Until recently, I've been using the weight training as a rehab for a bunch of things I've torn up (hip, shoulder, knee, back)

Now that the hip/shoulder/knee and back are behaving themselves, I can focus more on strength.  But I'm less concerned with moving lots of weight and more concerned with functional strength.
