Strength training vs cardio for fat loss??

[downunder hunter]

Hey fellas,
I always thought that pounding out the HIIT on cardio machines was the key to burning fat but as of late i have heard and read that in fact strength training is more efficient at burning fat!!!
Has anybody had success in burning fat during a cutting phase whilst strength training??
Thanks

Yep. I am losing more than enough just from strength training alone. Although, I think the best exercise to cut with would be squats, especially with high volume.

does anyone have thoughts on this???

with strength training i mean 6 reps 80%1RM e.g snatch, clean and jerk, squat and press

Diet for losing fat?

With more muscle mass you are a more efficient calorie burning machine. Yes, strength training is more effective than cardio for fat loss. Couple either of the two with an effective diet.
