I haven't done this before, but I guess it's time. I'm just started circuit training three days a week; I had been lifting, but last week my trainer put me on this circuit. I also do cardio three days a week; since cardio is kind of boring, I'll stick with the circuit and then log the lifting when I go back to just lifting.
I'm working with a trainer I really like and it seems like I'm getting good results for an old man of 65.
My circuits are as follows.
1. 12 reps, 70 pound barbell, floor to overhead in two moves; don't know what it's called, but it's a dead lift then clean and jerk.
2. 12 reps, jump pull ups from a bosu, full extension then jump to assist to get as high above the bar as possible.
3. 12 reps, 120 pound barbell dead lift.
4. 12 reps, push ups from 35 pound dumbbells so that my pecs and shoulders stretch
5. 12 reps, vertical pull ups.
I get through 4 circuits in about 45 minutes and it's about all I got; my shoulders are dead at that point.
