Lifting vs. Cardio for Fat Loss 

Prioritizing resistance training volume over excessive cardio is crucial for optimal body composition and fat loss. I recommend increasing lifting frequency and intensity before adding cardio sessions because muscle-building exercises like compound lifts and progressive overload training have a more significant impact on metabolic rate and body fat percentage. When cardio becomes the primary focus, muscle preservation often suffers, which means your overall physique and long-term fat loss potential are not maximized. Structuring your program with a foundation of consistent strength training, followed by strategic cardio for energy expenditure, ensures a balanced approach to body recomposition and sustainable weight management. This method optimizes hormone balance, preserves lean muscle mass, and enhances your body's ability to burn fat during and after workouts.
