Alright yesterday on the headline of menshealth.com was an article about circuit training full body 3 times a week. Granted it was 3 sets at one exercise per body part. I understand this is low volume but the author, who is also a personal trainer and has conducted 20,000+ research logs on clients at his gym, said by hitting the muscle 3 times a week, it will be constantly growing, thus growing bigger and stronger than hitting it once a week, not to mention you will be cutting more fat. Currently I am doing the GVT program in which I have seen tremendous strength gains. Upon my completion of GVT, I am now looking for a program that will possibly improve my strength, but get me as chisled as possible for summer. Here's my idea
Monday-
Superset 1
Bench Press- 5 reps
ATG Squats- 5 reps
Superset 2
Incline Bench- 5 reps
Leg Press- 5 reps
Superset 3
Weighted Dips- 5 reps
Leg Curls- 5 reps
complete all supersets 3 times with a total of 1:30 rest time in between
Tuesday
Superset 1
Weighted Pullups- 5 reps
Shoulder Press- 5 reps
Superset 2-
Seated Rows- 5 reps
Lat Raises- 5 reps
Superset 3-
Deadlift- 5 reps
Barbell Curl- 5 reps
repeat each super set a total of 3 times
Then I was thinking to lift again on friday / saturday. Same excersises but instead of a target of 5 reps, something higher either aiming for 8 reps or for 12 reps. I was wondering if you guys think this could work in both increasing LBM / strength while becoming more defined because it is a circuit like workout.
