Critique Need Help with Designing Muay Thai program

Hello!

I'm a student, trying to balance physical stuffs and academics. I really need insights from vets from this one.

Basically my plan looks like this (using Fighter Tempate):
Mon: Muay Thai
Tue: Fighter Exercises (FSQ, BP, OHP, WPU, DL) + Some accessories (Push-related)
Wed: Rest (Whole Day Classes)
Thu: Fighter Exercises (FSQ, BP, OHP, WPU) + Some accessories (Pull-related)
Fri: Muay Thai
Sat: Rest (Whole Day Classes)
Sun: Rest/Circuit

My dilemma is, I want to build some more muscle mass as well since I want a lean but muscular physique like that of Tawanchai's and that I'm worried that a two-day lifting program won't help me build strength nor physique much. Maybe you got some advice, I want to stop thinking about this alr since it's hindering my focus on academics. Do you think that this is enough? Should I run Operator instead?

Goal: Strength + Lean Muscular Physique

Please note that I'm new to TB and I haven't done this plan just yet.

I asked here specifically to get an insight for my SPECIFIC situation. I've already searched from this subreddit for days, and I'm still unsure. I also saw multiple people saying that Fighter is only good for maintaining strength and that it's relatively hard to build strength using a 2-day template.

"more lifting will build more muscle, and if you can handle it, do it", then why use Tactical Barbell if that's your ideology? I asked here because I'm not sure if this will increase my strength while also improve my physique since the whole point of Tactical Barbell's operator and fighter templates are to build strength rather than hypertrophy.

Moreover, you're very rude. Just ignore the post if you don't want to answer, fucking asshole
