I'm wondering if this circuit routine actually coincides with your goals very well. If your primary focus is athletic performance then some of it could be replaced with other things that are more suited to training the body as a unit. Also it is a misconception that circuits only involve weights. When it comes to athletic conditioning you can mix in other things that fall more on the cardio side, albeit at a high intensity.

I'm no expert on circuits but some of this seems to fall more in body composition rather than athletic conditioning and health. I'm talking about things like leg extensions, upright rows, etc. It may translate into fat loss as the article says but may not be the most efficient thing in terms of athletics, for which, imo, you're better off focusing on functional movements. Also some power movements could be thrown in.

I certainly undersand that certain other goals may overlap.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
