Has anyone else heard of this?

Potential injury from circuit training??
Lately I have been doing a 10 station circuit routine with lighter weights, more reps, no rest in between stations, and a 2 minute rest between "sets" - 5 sets in total. My goal has been to get my heart rate up, and burn more fat versus heavier weights for gaining size. I am now curious if there a potential injury risks…
