I've been lifting for four years now under the guidance of a former world weightlifting champ, who is currently our strength and conditioning coach. There really are no "secrets," I think you'll see results in due time if you do everything right. It's important to remember that your muscles need to rest and recover in order to grow. Good nutrition and sufficient rest is essential to muscle development.

5x a week might be too much if you are just alternating between two different circuits everyday. Overtraining is worse than not lifting at all. You'll feel like absolute shit, believe me, I've been there. cuss:

I would also reccomend changing up the exercises every so often. Hitting the same areas in a different way "tricks" your body in a good way.
