WEIGHT TRAINING: WILL MANY REPETITIONS BURN MORE FAT?

Short answer: no!

High repetitions are not generally a good investment for your time!

Try to do maximum 10 repetitions per set.

If your main objective is fat loss, aerobic exercise is a more efficient choice for you.

Weight training helps us to increase our muscle mass. Muscles are metabolically  more active than fat.

Heavy weight training will additionally elicit a powerful metabolic response. Our metabolism will be higher for many hours after the workout(EPOC/ afterburn).

Both these outcomes come from heavy weights which means low repetitions.

Conclusion: more reps per set won't help you burn more fat. Actually the opposite will happen.
