I wonder how well something like this would work? I am unable to train like a bodybuilder using low rep heavy weight due to health issues and need something a little lighter as growth is not as big a concern as maintence.

feel free to post your opinions.

same thing I posted at Steroidology...

I am not a fan of that training program... it doesn't have the 3-5 rep range for hitting the Class 2b/c muscle fibers (FTF) ... it looks like it will only hit the slower endurance fibers (Class 1/STF) -- It might work if you lowered your rep count and raised the weight for a couple sets at the end of each exercise...

I have never been a fan of circuit training... as it is more for people who just want to workout, don't have time, and not really GAIN everything...

IMO -- it is really hard to work more than 2 (or one if it is legs) bodyparts in ONE training session.

I think the rep range is a little high, even given your situation bro. I think you'd see more benefit from a 12 or 13 rep set as opposed to 15. Would that be doable for you?

WHOOPS?!!? MY BAD!! I didn't read fully the bottom part of your post... just the plan.

IF that is something you can do, and you are pushing yourself doing it, then you WILL benefit from it...
