The Myth Of Doing High Reps For Fat Loss

Do I need to do high reps to burn off (more) fat in a fat loss phase?

It is time to debunk this myth once and for all. The answer is no.

It is strongly advised to keep the same intensity as during your bulking phase. Meaning: relatively heavy weight while staying in the same rep range as during your bulk. Stay 1-2 reps away from failure.

The result is that you will signal the body to burn off mostly fat instead of muscle tissue during a fat loss phase because the muscle is being used, and therefore necessary to keep.
