With the advent of yet another new year, I've been thinking about how best to use what little time I have left.
Around about '99 I ceased all gym work and devoted my entire training time to the mat: presently I spend about 9 hours a week at the dojo/academy training (probably an evenly split between skills and sparring). I was considering/wondering whether it would be appropriate to re-allocate my time and maybe start incorporating some gym work again...
What are some of your views as to the 'appropriate' division of one's time between the gym environment vs. the mat?

No weights, its a boring waste of time mostly enjoyed by meatheads like BigD =)

Ben is correct. Well, about D being a meathead anyway.
Bench, squats and deadlifts. Takes no time at all (unless you're a real meathead) and keeps you strong.
And I look great in a deadlift suit !!

No Ben, not at all. A little over sensitive perhaps, maybe suffering from a slight persecution complex, but not weak...

"Benny, what are you doing, show your Mumma!"
"Mum, open the door!!!"
The above has been edited for more realism =)
"Next time I fight at XFC, im going to drag you through the ropes and peoples elbow you"
You're gonna need an awful lot of that forearm strength to drag me through the ropes.
My current "training" regime has me weighing on a little on the heavy side...
And if you insist on grabbing me, please enure you've washed your hands after your forearm workout !
