Hi, so I'd like to ask you guys this question. Is it possible to work too much of a different stuff in one session?
I will write as told in "before you ask for training advice.."
In my off days, I have kickbox training at evening 1,5 hour long. It consist of a warmup - usually running, shadow boxing, some burpees, jumping rope.. things like this. Than technique, sparring and some conditioning at the end.
Well what I'm doing right now, is going hour earlier to the gym. Warm up on getups, pushups, goblets and pullups. Then I train Deadlifts + 1arm KB benchpress mixed with some leg-raises and russian full contact twist. I try to take it easy with long rests, focusing on speed, but I do use lets say submaximal weights. I try to make it 10-15min before Kickboxing starts, so I have a time to recover a bit. Drink some water, maybe some juice or bcaa's.. After kicboxing I go for 10mins of longcycle clean and jerk, as posted on strongfirst. So my training is over 3hours long. When I get home I do some stretching and fast and loose drills.
Right now my body takes it. But I'm not sure if it isn't too much. On my work days I focus on eating good food (I'm a chef), I don't stress or anything, I'm a happy person . So I'm good with nutrition and recovery.
It might be possible for me to go training at noon, do my deadlifts etc, maybe also 10min of LCCJ, have few hours rest and than kickboxing. Thing is sometimes I have to deal with things, go visit someone or something, you know have a life.. So easier is for me to do that crazy 3hour routine..
So what I'm asking is, how should I ideally proceed with this routine? Is it too much?
I don't want to destroy myself with weights and then couldn't compete in sport. (even though I love weightlifting..) Uff, exhaustinig description of my life . Hope you can help me shed some light on this. I thank you for your advices in advance.

- I'm not suffering from any injuries, nor do I have any problems with my body when it comes to flexibility and mobility.
- I'm doing kickbox and training for competitions. I've had one in Sanda this weekend, so right now I'm in an off mode, easier trainings.
- I have 24yrs, 192cm, 93kg, 16-18% bodyfat. My long term goal is to lose bodyfat for better performance, but keep the weight almost same. Of course I would like to go up in PR's...
