Q: I'm a big fan of circuit training ever since my last contest. I know it's not for every day of every week throughout the year, but it's great for burning glycogen and fat, fast because it's so isolative! But tell me, what do you guys think about doing it throughout the entire year, every other week or so?
The phrase “circuit training” is tossed around a bit in bodybuilding circles, most of the time in a very negative manner. Hey, circuit training is for girls, right? Oh, and old people too! Real men train heavy, using earth-crushing free weights and very low-repetition sets. They spend 4, 5, or even 6 sets at a time on each exercise, and over an hour on each body part. Circuit training is the opposite of that, right?

Most body builders who have not tried to adopt a circuit training technique in their program live in ignorance of what is the use for a circuit training routine. It is important that you understand the aim and thus the benefits that accrue from a circuit training workout routine.

Let’s face it – cardio isn’t the move fun thing around. Most of us would rather be washing dishes, changing diapers, or scrubbing the walls, rather than standing on the same machine for 30 to 45 minutes, plugging away endlessly on a path without finish. Your lungs burn, your arms and legs start to ache, and your mind is forced to deal with such an inordinate amount of boredom.

We’ve all seen those guys in the gym wearing tight workout gear while dominating the scale at a very brutal 145 pounds. They hop from machine to machine, working their tails off yet never really moving that much weight. And, as the years pass, they never really look much different either. They don’t look worse, per se. But they don’t look better. They use circuit training (lining up multiple movements in a row) to train their full body. Their bodies reach a level of development congruent with the demand of circuit training, and they stop growing.
