Is there any way you could bulk and still retain your speed/endurance? What's the best way to do it, especially if training is your main concern?

Wouldn’t strength, explosiveness and endurance all be more optimal than hypertrophy.

What if someone was trying to put on a little bit of weight? It can never hurt...
personally i think doing bodybuilding workouts for shoulders are good
because in combat sports we get so much wear and tear on the shoulders
so to me after i do shoulders, i feel healed
does not make me stiff at all
other body parts not sure,

What about sticking to the heavy compound lifts 2x a week. Deadlifts, shoulder press, bench, squat?
Essentially tactical barbell’s fighter template, mixed in with a shit load of Muay Thai and BJJ.
Provided you eat a lot, will there be functional hypertrophy going on?

Add in some rows/pull ups

I follow Pavel’s GTG approach towards pull-ups, ie I just do a shit load of them.
Either I do that or I do the Armstrong pull up program.
You said putting on weight doesn't hurt - I strongly disagree.
Being heavier places additional stress on the body. Your digestive system and organs are forced to work harder.
You’re increasing the percentage risk of metabolic issues, including heart disease and diabetes.
Furthermore in terms of performance, you won’t lose speed, but you will lose endurance. Due to the additional weight your body can’t sustain ouput. We’ve seen it in MMA many times.

If you absolutely wanted to put on some mass, and still be effective, what should you limit it to? And how would you go about doing it?
Would a minimalist heavy compound lifting program do it or likely not?
I would personally think that a calisthenics workout would be your best route. Minimal to no equipment. Push up variations , body squats, planks, lunges, dips, leg rasies, rows and pull ups. Advance to rings and muscle ups etc. All body weight training to gain maximum lean muscle and improve cardio. Core strength is a massive component and body weight exercises would be of benefit.

I'm still doing a lot of that, but how would I maximize muscle growth when doing calisthenics and minimalist barbell work?
Do do I just eat a fuck load? Keep in mind I've been pretty active I. The gym, like 4-5x a week between BJJ and Kickboxing.
Please don’t say functional again

However you want to put on weight, eating a lot is number one.

Yes, the most effecient way to do it would most likely be some sort of heavy compound lifting with things like deadlifts, squats, pressing and some pulls like pull ups and rows.
Not too time intesive and will give you the best bang for your buck with the limited recovery you have available between that and training.
