I want to be extremely low body fat for athletic purposes, fast as hell, strong as an ox, and be able ot sprint for miles and miles and not breathe heavy. Obvioulsy exaggerated but you get the drift. My basic overall question is this. I guess I should have been clearer. Say your 1 RM is 200lbs for round numbers

Are you going to burn more fat by doing 10 reps at 60% or 120lbs
or buy doing 3-5 reps at 80% 160lbs. Thats all i was asking. ANyone have any thoughts. THey would be appreiciated. And the whole theory of lifting for cardio as a waste of time. That really really depends on what your using it for.

See this shit is what disappoints me about this forum. too many guys ask such vague general questions and then get shitty when they don't get the answers they want! MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US YOU WRESTLED DIVISION ONE! and who cares anyway. you are concerned with losing WEIGHT, any weight possible. I wrestled for team Indiana for 2 years. I'm not flaming im just going to go general from here on out...
if you do not want opinions ask a SPECIFIC question. give us ALL of the relevant information we need to make a good intelligent response. too muchof this... "what is better for fat burning"... and "which is better" is GETTING F*CKING OLD! Sorry for the rant, but damn i hate attitude when individual ignorance is to blame...
