Cutting on low reps?

[iuhoosiers]

Hey I you have more success cutting on high rep workouts or low rep workouts? I know that high reps don't burn fat I was just wondering if the increase in muscle density and hardness is better to have or should I stay with my low rep exercises (6-8).

I think maybe he miswrote that perhaps?

Seems lately that research is showing that anaerobic activity is just as good at fat loss as aerobic activity and perhaps even better. Anaerobic activity also gives the added improvement of strength gains and muscle increase whereas aerobic activity is the opposite. You get cardiovascular improvements with aerobic activity though. So simple answer here is to do a mix of both with the maximum time spent on anaerobic activity for maximum fat loss with an appropriate diet.
