As a change of pace, I have altered the order of my circuits to focus on pre exhausting a specific muscle group in each one. Pre-exhausting is done by performing an isolation movement for a body part followed by a compound movement for the same body part, an example being a chest flye (arms locked into postion so only chest contracts) followed by bench press (a movement that involves both arms and chest). It's proven to be a good way to shock the muscle without having to make dramatic alterations to routine.
