| i dont think it would matter if you are using the same muscle groups b/c you arent going to failure. Do your muscles get sore the day after the circuit? I wouldnt be going heavy using muscle groups that are sore. Doing the circuit may interfere with your recovery some what and you may not maximize muscle gain. but I dont think it would be a real problem. I mean if you have to do the circuit 5 days a week you are going to have to lift weights on the same day or not lift at all. I wouldnt recomend leaving out the weight lifting even if its not under optimal conditions. As far as wanting to increase the weight on your circuit I would think eventually you would get to that point even if you arent lifting weights using low reps going to failure but I'm sure that doing so would help you get to that point sooner. Because you will gain more strenght quicker as long as you arent over training. Personally I alternate doing a circuit 3 days a week with lifting weights 3 days a week. I work out my whole body during the circuit and the next day I am not usually sore however if I am then I do not work the sore muscle. But that is pretty rare. Does that answer your question?
