Body for Life
I use this method. Trust me it works. It uses the pyramid system and will fix your muscular endurance.
The progs sets are like this (The percentage is what I do in terms of weight; the system uses a intensity rating: ie. set 1 is rating 5, and set 6 is rating 10; ratings = difficulty performing the set not weight).
One Exercise: (ex. Bench)
Set 1: 12 reps about 50% [5] 1RM (1 rep max)
Set 2: 10 reps about 60% [6]
Set 3: 8 reps about 70% [7]
Set 4: 6 reps about 80% [8]
Set 5: 12 reps about 60% [9]
Done IMMEDIATELY after last set (NO REST). Same muscle, different exercise and target: (ex. Butterflies or Incline Bench)
Set 6: 12 " " 60% [10]
Also they prefer dumbbells to barbells.
Read on the site the rotations and dieting.

I take a Neutral Stance with the Martial Arts. Then I chain punch.
