I'm a pretty small guy and I want to be able to defend myself and family if needed. I'm about 5'8" and 140lbs. I can bench press 210lbs and I can do 60 chin-ups (6 sets of 10 w/ 30 sec. rest). My workout routine goes as follows:

(everything 3 sets of 10)

Pushing - bench press, dumbbell incline, close grip bench, t-bar presses, and explosive push-ups

Legs - barbell squat, hack squat, leg press, leg extention, hamstring curl, calf press

Pulling - chin ups, pull ups, 3-way shoulders*, lat pull, one arm rows, upright rows, and barbell curls.

Core - lower ab crunch, russian twist, regular crunch, ab wheel, and my g/f's sister is a dancer so I do a dancer exercise that is amazing for your love handles/ lower back.

In addtion to this, I run and use a weighted jump rope. I also shadow box, speed bag and heavy bag train everyday. This might be crazy, but I also punch metal, concrete, or wooden objects. I have pretty much been doing this routine for two months. I rarely take a day off unless my body cannot take anymore due to exhaustion. Sometimes I workout twice a day. I am extremely commited to this, and I'm willing to do anything as you can see.

My question is, since many folks here know alot about fighting, what else can I do to increase my chances of destroying my opponent? Don't say gain weight because it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for me to do so. Size is my weakness, speed and agility are my strengths. What can do I do to enhance my strenghts and weaknesses? What are some things I can do to punch harder, and faster? I have no money to pay for lessons in martial arts, and I have a basic understanding of boxing. I'm willing to do any type of reading or reasearch necessary to learn, and I am willing to do any kind of work necessary to achieve results. I just can't pay for shit.

I cannot stress enough that my reasons for doing this are self-defense, not going out and starting fights with random people. The Dirty Harry on nubblies and me in real life are two very different people.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
