I'm confused - What is it?

I have been logging my exercise as strength training. As I have been seeing it, I go to the gym, I pick up heavy stuff (for me) well technically I pull on a heavy cable as I used a cable machine, and I do this in 3 supersets, 3 circuits of each. My instructor started me on 15 reps but I changed it and upped the weight and reduced the reps to 10-12 as a max that I could do at the weight and have been gradually adding more weight each time.

Last night I asked on here about rest weeks and I guy replied and said that for what I am doing its not really necessary as what I am doing is more cardio and circuit training than hypertrophy. Which I can totally see as my HR is up at 160-170 the whole time so if defo cardio.

So that has led me to think that maybe I have been recording my exercise incorrectly as although my muscles do ache today from working out yesterday morning I can see that it should maybe be recorded as circuit training.

What would you record it as?

Thanks

If I was you, I would create "My exercise" so that it is the right level for you. If you know your HR (as you do) then take it from there.

(By the way loving this post!)
