Agreed.
What do high reps do? Well, they stimulate some metabolic processes, such as growth hormone and testosterone release. They also generate lactic acid in the muscles worked. They tend to induce sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (the "stuff" the is in and around the actual muscle fibers, the "supporting" stuff for the fibers such as mitochondria etc.).
For fat burning, you CAN use high reps (anyone who's done high rep clean & press or deadlifts knows how intense they can be) but I would NOT do it at the expense of strength training in the 5-8 range. Maybe AFTER you do some heavy work, throw in a few rapid, high-rep burnout sets to get the heartrate up. But don't sacrifice your heavy work.

Kepping the reps at 6-10 is the best route....

Instead of trying to up your heart rate while lifting, how about upping it alot while doing extra cardio?

I lose absolute strength when cutting, but can usually keep my rep strength the same. Also, changing up the rep range can help disguise the fact you're losing strength.
5-10 should be fine.. no maxing out, and even triples can be risky if you're catabolic and more prone to injury.

You're doing it now and did it earlier in the thread. Something I said or did at some time has upset you. I regret that.OMEGA said:
Please explain 'seems' in this context. I could say, "Seems you've flipped". Of course, I wouldn't since that'd be as rude as your comment.
Your spamming the Weights forum is rude in itself. Doing it in collusion with another member as you did was reprehensible.
I have no beef with you, Omega. I've always found you reasonably pleasant and charming.

Collusion? False that was a customer who bought a unit. Would you like to censor his feedback?
Spamming? False thats called Sponsorship. Is ONE THREAD really too much for you to handle?
Dont use your word games on me bro, you know I never EVER even threw one word of negativity in your direction, and you put it on your self to be a bitter agressor, albiet pretty snub about it.
Regret? yes I do have regret since it seems your a one man show in this.
If you said sorry or ceased I would forgive you in an instant..........
I am speaking as a friend when I say this
