How do you work cir. Max in with weights?

[NICOLP]

Hello,
Question can I do cir.max the day after I do PH or LL,CTX Upper? I am wondering how you work it in with your weights? Thank you a head of time!

I've always considered Circuitmax more of a cardio workout. In it they use 5lb and 8lb dumbbells. I think it could be followed after one of the other weight workouts without a problem.......Carole

Most people count Circuit Max as cardio over weights. The weight used are light, and I have done it after doing Power Hour before and survived. Let your muscles dictate what you can and cannot handle the next day. If it is a problem but you still want to do it just lighten the weights that you use. It is still a great workout.

Nicole:

it really depends on how you work it.

For example, I never do the compound moves during the 2 min weight segments. I use that time to do squats, lunges, with barbell or hand weights in a variety of poundages and rep counts, so for me Circuit Max really is a cardio and leg endurance day. I would never do LL either the day before or the day after it, but I would do PUB or CTX upper body split.

So, it just depends on how YOU work it.
