Hi
I am a 16 martial arts who is looking to add strength training to my program. I am a basic beginner and am looking at adding cluster 5x5 to my routine.
The Days I train are:
Mondays: Kickboxing
Tuesdays: Judo
Thursdays:Judo
Friday: Kickboxing
The days i have access to a gym are Mondays thru Thursdays for a 30 Minute period.
Thanks Vortex
What’s your question? You want a routine? With all that judo and kickboxing I’d only do weights 2 times a week with 3 being tops, no more than that. I think there is a version of 5x5 you can do twice a week, do that until your progress slows down then come back and see what else there is for you. While doing all that exercise in the week you need to be eating a lot.

Yeah, um, I don’t really see a particular question here. I’ve heard of 5x5 programs, but I’m not sure what “cluster 5x5” is.
If you’re looking for a training program, I suggest starting with my usual bodyweight workout for at least a few weeks:
After that, almost any free weight plan will be fine, but it will be hard fitting something into your available times (only 30 minutes, Mon to Thurs). I guess you’re going to be using the gym at school during the day?
