Circuit training questions.

I have gained about 20 lbs since getting my new cushy desk job and im trying to get back into my former college baseball shape. I just started to get into circuit training and im not sure if its what i really should do. Ive been eating better, chicken, tuna, almonds, salads, eggs... Heres my workout, tell me if its a good idea. Im 5'9'' 210lbs, i still have alot of the muscle from college but the chub is moving in and i dont like it one bit.

Mon, Weds, Fri

30-45 mins of weights: this circuit twice. 20-30 second break between exercises and 2 min break after the first circuit.

Abs - flavor of the week
Bench - 155lbs x 12-15 reps
Pulldowns - 85lbs x 12-15 reps
Squats - 135lbs x 12-15 reps
Curls - 55lbs x 12-15 reps
Nose busters - 45lbs x 12-15 reps
Lunges - 50lbs in each hand x 8-10 reps each leg.

After a long drink at the fountain i hit the bike for 30 mins hill style.

Tues and Thurs

Rock climbing mostly bouldering (high intensity short distance climbing)

I feel better but i havent really seen any change... im looking to cut about 20lbs and tone up for rock climbing and the beach in august.

Any suggestions??
 
It generally takes 4-6 weeks to start to see results. You may look into HIIT training (see that forum). I'm not an expert on weight routine design, but it looks good to me. Maybe one of the other guys/gals can give you more insightful advice about that.
