Can't say I've seen many reccomendations for this routine to be honest... and really... I kinda think it sucks.

Stickies, read Carnal's treatise and Urban's website, you will soon see the light.

There are a shitload of better routines out there

how many days are you looking to train with weights? per week

 

[projectaero]

3 days per week and muay thai 2 days per week.
i think more than 3 days at a beginner level wouldnt be the best for my body

Are you a beginner to lifting? meaning you haven't squatted 1.5times your bodyweight or benched your bodyweight yet?
