Combining weightlifting and martial arts
MY HISTORY

I am a 27 year old man that has been weightlifting seriously for more than one year now. I have also doing some martial arts before, and want to get back at it again.

Height: 178cm/5 ft 10 inch
Weight: 90kg/198lbs

These are my PRs:

Deadlift (regular) eq - 140kg
Squat eq - 115kg
Bench press - 80kg

MY CURRENT SETUP

I'm going through a existing program. You'll see that 4x6-10xWEIGHT is 4 sets and 6 repetitions the first week. Then we do 4x8xWEIGHT the next week and then 4x10xWEIGHT and then increase to a higher weight. The same goes for the first set 1x3-5xWEIGHT.

Monday - Workout 1 - Deadlift - 1x3-5xWEIGHT (Maximum effort set)
Monday - Workout 1 - Deadlift - 4x6-10xWEIGHT (Less weight and higher volume)
Monday - Workout 1 - Military Press - 1x3-5xWEIGHT (Maximum effort set)
Monday - Workout 1 - Military Press - 4x6-10xWEIGHT (Less weight and higher volume)
Wednesday - Workout 2 - Bench Press - 1x3-5xWEIGHT (Maximum effort set)
Wednesday - Workout 2 - Bench Press - 4x6-10xWEIGHT (Less weight and higher volume)
Wednesday - Workout 2 - Assistance Chin Ups - 4x6-10xWEIGHT
Wednesday - Workout 2 - Bent-over barbell row with overhand grip - 4x6-10xWEIGHT
Friday - Workout 3 - Squats - 1x3-5xWEIGHT (Maximum effort set)
Friday - Workout 3 - Squats - 4x6-10xWEIGHT (Less weight and higher
Friday - Workout 3 - Chins - 4xMAX

MY GOAL

My goal for weightlifting to the next summer:

Deadlift (regular) eq - 180+kg
Squat eq - 150+kg
Bench press - 100+kg

My goal is to include two times of a week tuesday and thursday for martial arts as well. I just loved it before i remember, but quit because I had a damage to my rib, it was a crack and I couldn't doing it for a time and then time just went on...

The question here though is can I keep increasing in results in my weightlifting for building strength and mass as well as the martial arts training at the same time? Do I get enough of rest for my body to recover and get stronger?

Is it recommended combining these together?
