Read the stickies IMO. They have all of the info you're looking for and they'll show you how to set up a program.

I would suggest to start with circuit training meaning multiple muscles with little interval rests.

No. Take gtbmed's advice. Read the stickies in the New Members Forum. Then read all the stickies in the training and Diet&Nutrition forums. All your answers are there. If you still have questions, ask away.b

I mean, you don't have to read every sticky. The most important things to read are:

1. http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/training/60741-designing-training-routines-cowpimp.html
2. http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/training/60738-training-101-a.html
3. http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/training/62165-stretching-flexability.html
4. http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/training/65122-guide-proper-warmup.html

That should cover almost everything you need from a training perspective. If you have more specific questions then we can provide more specific answers. I know that "read the stickies" sounds like a lazy way out for me and a lot of work for you, but trust me, I've read them and they have a lot of good information in them.
