A revised routine, opinions please

I agree with Vinyl, any weight training will increase strength to an extent. First, I feel that 12 reps is not very endurance like seeing as how you throw a lot more than 12 punches most likely in your classes. I think the best way to train for that kind of endurance would be running and other activities such as that, and actually doing the skill. For an increase in strength to get more power, I would say go with around 4-6 reps.

Hm, that could always work. You're basically suggesting take my jabs and hooks, kicks the like to a heavy bag and speed bad (for the coordination) and use that to build my stamina. While weights are more for increasing power. Hey I'll do the 4-6 reps, so long as I don't gain too much bulk and hinder my martial arts skills.

So how would I go about a heavy training routine then? 5x5? How much rest between sets? I know the basic workouts:
Curls, Inclined Bench, Extensions, Squats, Heel Raises, Military Press and Upright Row.
