    Correct me if I'm wrong, but higher reps of anaerobic exercises do not "burn fat". Your metabolism burns fat, and, to a lesser degree, cardio burns fat. (More importantly cardio increases your metabolism, which burns fat). I can't say I would recommend lifting any differently when cutting than bulking, as long as your goals are the same.

    lifting heavy burns more calories per movement than cardio.

    Do you expext to maintain muscle by doing a set of 50? Why not do a set of 8 and then do some HIT cardio?

    50 is extreme for the story is all.....

    why do supersets then? just to elevate the heart rate or burn the muscle?

    To be honest, I feel that the majority of people do them just to "feel" the pump and burn a lot more. Also, shocks the muscle. Only time I find myself doing them is when I am in a rush and don't have much time due to work, class, etc..
