Personally i liked the look of the old site MUCH more.
Once i got use to the new look i dont mind it, and there are A LOT of new features which are a good touch.

didnt have to lash out man. Wasnt talkin about madcow's routine, my bad though for not reading the post thoroughly enough.

Sounds like over training to me. 5x5 training has huge benefits, and can be very helpful in martial arts training, but those 2 and a half hr (if im counting right) training sessions 3 days a week on...

Being a Martial Artist who has gotten heavily involved with weight training, here is the advice i would offer. Do an AM/PM split
Something like this would work well-
