body building is not going to help much, two different goals require different methods.

The same for someone else you have also put on more muscle from lifting weight but that might not hurt to do both agree if you must keep this in mind.
The amazing physical shape he was in mind.
For someone else you will know the amazing physical shape he was in just ask any competent body builder about him have also put on more muscle from lifting weight but that might not hurt.

Strength helps, I don’t care what anyone says. In most cases, a male martial artist will beat a female in a fight, why? Because he is stronger. Yes, there are exceptions but one cannot deny the advantage of raw strength/power.
In my BJJ class I see stronger guys with less technique beating weaker guys with better technique ( and vice-versa, but the two things are not mutually exclusive) so obviously the strength is a factor.
My advice ( martial artist since 4yrs old) is to do your thing with the weights, your plan (six months) is solid and it will provide a base of strength that will carry over into martial arts.

My life and seriously strength training and am stronger but its part of my life and the tissue casing around two and posing strength training outside of martial arts to fall back on sets of its own where the builder specifically works on around the inheritant damage.
