I think these types of circuits tend to get more credit than they deserve. I'm not saying that they don't have their place in a training regimen to mix things up a bit, I do them myself, but I'm not convinced of their efficacy as a core element of a conditioning program. This is just my non-professional opinion though based on my experiences.

I think you would be better served doing the traditional things like lsd based cardio, sprints, jumping rope, heavy bag rounds, high rep bodyweight circuits, etc.. Then save cleans, GM's, OHP, BOR's and the like for strength workouts seperate from your conditioning. Of course throw in some barbell circuits for something different now and then.

Other than that I would choose different movements for a barbell circuit but that's just me.
