I seem to be reading more and more about people using weights circuits for fat loss instead of traditional steady state and potentially catabolic cardio.
An example could be the "300 workout". I know Charles Poliquin uses a giant set approach when he trains athletes who need to lose fat. He also seems to use strongman style exercies for fat loss.
For example I know that sets of tyre flips and farmers walks are used as a type of cardio workout. The idea being these exercises will burn fat by elevating heart rate but will also improve overall strength. Even experienced bodybuilders muscles will be sore as hell 24 hours after doing a few sets of tyre flips.
Do you all think that this style of workout has a place in a bodybuilding routine when trying to lose bodyfat and maintain muscle mass?
I am thinking of adding something like this in once a week.
