I agree with ya.

I quit jogging and did circuits similar to yours. I got most of my workouts off a crossfit based website. 3 days of body weight and kettlebell workouts mixed in with 2 days of heavy lifts. After just 1 month, all my lifts went way up and went for a jog and felt like I could run forever. I was surprised at how much the circuit workouts helped my endurance.

This is kinda like a bp thread...comment welcome. I dont think (for me) that regular weights and lifting give the body what it needs. Functional strength that includes major and minor muscle groups working together make a person a more explosive. Not to mention the endurance of circuits that make you gas and work hard.

I agree with you that isolated movements don't work as well as multi-joint or compound movements. Just don't forget about weights for the program.

Just cause you are gassed doesn't mean you are working hard remember.

If the program works, stick with it..... Just don't forget it is possible in the future to add weights, even isolated movements, to increase strength where you might be lacking. Accessory lifts are great for overall strength
