How can I work on strength training and body weight exercises at the same time?

Question by WhatsUp: How can I work on strength training and body weight exercises at the same time?
I do a fight club type thing, and it requires strength training with heavy weight along with exercises like body weight exercises, explosive squats etc. You need an adequate amount of rest to gain any progress. So is there any way that I would be able to efficiently balance these two out?

Answer by Stewart
several years ago I slightly injured my left shoulder while bench pressing. I stopped all exercises for 2 weeks. When I started pressing again, I was expecting a loss of strength, but instead I pressed a new personal record!

… I had been exercising (weights, cycling, etc. 5-6 days per week).

Since then I’ve exercised only 3-4 days per week, and I every couple of months take off a whole week. I’ve put on lots of muscle mass since then Enough rest (and food) is vital.

Good luck!
