CIRCUIT TRAINING v. STRAIGHT SETS
It takes our body 3-5 minutes in order to fully recover from intense exercise. In traditional weight training, if your doing let's say 3 sets of a single exercise it would take you 10-15 minutes on that particular movement putting you on track for one of those marathon hour-long plus workouts.
Circuit training that uses alternating sets of non-competitive exercises is a very simple way to allow us to maintain high-intensity while also giving our body full recovery time. If we look at it strictly from a time standpoint, it will normally take someone about 30 seconds to perform 10 reps of an exercise at a slow, controlled tempo of 3 seconds per rep. By using circuit training method, we can easily build an incredible metabolic strength workout using the 5 basic movement patterns we looked at in Metabolic Rut #3.
In five minutes, the circuit-style of training will allow us to perform all 5 of those movements that make up a total-body workout where in the straight sets format it would take that same amount of time to complete ONE set of a single exercise.
In 20 minutes, we can complete four rounds of this whole body circuit while we just be starting our second exercise in the straight set format.
