INTRODUCTION
Whether you’re new to fitness, have been doing Crossfit or a related workout for
the last year or two, or would consider yourself a seasoned veteran, these workouts
are sure to put you to the challenge.
Circuit training is a very popular and effective form of workout that just about
anyone can use to burn fat, build strength, and have fun all at the same time.
These workouts have been designed using some of the common concepts utilized
in Crossfit style training to give you superior conditioning results while helping you
up your daily calorie burn.
Try one or two on for size and see what you’re made of!
Circuit training, for those who are not familiar with it, utilizes a fast paced workout
style where you move from one exercise to the next with very little rest in between.
Rather than doing a set, resting, and then doing another set as conventional
workouts may have you doing, with circuit training, it’s one after another until the
Then, once you hit that final point, you’ll rest up and continue on again. Unlike
conventional circuit training that has you counting how many reps you perform in
any given exercise, you’ll instead be doing these ‘for time’. Basically, you’ll have an
allotted time frame for your working sets and then an allotted time frame for your
rest periods. Hit as many reps as possible (using good form) in the working time
frame and then rest up before you move to the next exercise.
How you design the specifics of your circuit training routine will dictate the nature
of the results that you see. Let’s look at how these circuits are created.
Your max power days are just as the name suggests, designed to help you develop
maximum levels of power. You’ll be hitting a shorter total working time here,
allowing you to lift a heavier weight load.
To achieve maximum power, you need to keep adding weight. This routine allows
you to focus on that.
You’ll be doing 15 seconds on per exercise with a 45 second rest period between
exercises. The workout will contain just 4-6 exercises total, but these will be your
big ‘power moves’, which utilize multiple muscle fibers all at once.
The primary thing you want to focus on with these is keeping the movements as
explosive as possible. You’ll typically fit in anywhere from 2-4 reps for each working
set.
Next on the list you have your maximum strength day. Now just like your max
power workout, these too will be done for a short working time frame, however
you’ll have a few extra seconds for the ‘on’ phase and a few less seconds for the
rest phase.
This allows you to hit a slightly higher rep range per set – aiming for around 4-5 reps.
On this protocol, you’ll be working for 20 seconds, resting for 40. Once again, you’ll
do 4-6 exercises, focusing on the ‘big movers’ that utilize multiple muscle groups.
Muscle Gain
Strength/Power Endurance
If you’re someone who is focused on kicking muscle fatigue to the curb and need
to be able to sustain intense exercise for a longer period of time (such as for your
normal Crossfit training sessions or a sport for instance), the strength/power
endurance workout will be your go-to.
This workout has you taking 40 seconds for each working set, resting just 20
seconds between exercises. It’ll whip you into cardiovascular shape in no time. You
should be able to hit the 12-15 rep mark in this time frame, yielding to excellent
muscular endurance gains.
A few more exercises will be added to this protocol, bringing you up to 8-10 per circuit.
Fat Loss/Cardio
Finally, the last protocol that you’ll want to consider is the fat loss and cardio
protocol. This protocol keeps your working time much longer than your rest time,
ensuring that you get an excellent metabolic boost to carry you through the day.
You’ll be working for 60 seconds on and resting for 15 seconds between exercises,
which should allow you to hit around 20-25 reps per exercise.
You’ll be adding 10 exercises to the circuit here, ensuring you get a nice mix of full
body compound exercises and a few isolation moves thrown in to help you catch
your breath and bring out maximum muscle definition.
There you have an overview of what each of these circuit protocols is all about and
how they are going to benefit you. Regardless of the workout protocol you choose
to follow, you can rest assured you’ll be challenged in a way that your previous
workouts never have done so in the past.
On both cases I mentioned above, please read through these tips to ensure your
sessions are efficient and effective

8. If you want to start this or any other program but think you have an
injury, get medical attention FIRST and have a professional therapist
rehabilitate your injury before starting any exercise program.
10. Clean nutrition and good eating habits is the key to increasing your
energy, building muscle, burning fat, improving strength, decreasing
inflammation and chances of injury.
I highly recommend the use of a Gym Boss Timer for doing timed sets. It’s a totally
awesome gadget, easy to use and it’s relatively inexpensive. You can order online
here at GYMBOSS TIMER
Or you can use your iPhone with set timer intervals. Whatever you choose, the
bottom line is you need to time your intervals AND rest breaks.
Below you will find a sample weekly schedule of how you can use these workouts.
In the workout section you will find different options for each CCT workout
protocol that you can choose from. Some are bodyweight only and others are
equipment based.
My advice is that you use one workout on each day for 3 weeks and them switch
to another one for the next 3 weeks. After 6 weeks, take a break and assess your
results, body transformation, fitness and set goals for the next 6 weeks.
Always make sure that you challenge yourself with the weight. If the exercises and
intervals are getting easy, then add a bit of weight or if it’s bodyweight then move
faster with each exercise.
