Weighted circuit training- how often per week, and how much rest?

Hi!

I've been doing circuits more lately. I usually watch one and go along with online, which are slower paced (40 minutes),and building up more weight, or I'll do one up myself that I go faster/ harder at with no rest and fizzle out at 21-24 minutes depending. I do really enjoy it, but when doing them, is there a best amount per week to aim for?

I'm lifting at home (early into it, and still waiting to afford a power rack) but that is not a challenge as much as trying to get the form down.

I've been doing lighter cardio in between circuit days, and the soreness isn't as much of an issue anymore, but I don't want to burn out/ get hurt either.

Any advice helps!

    Think after consulting google, (ha) perhaps I will stick with the every other day/ light day.

    I'm using 10 to 20 lb weights in circuits, and don't want to over do things.

    As my stronglifts get more confident, I'll shift more toward that .
