Was wondering what would work best for burning most fat.
3 Day split (Chest/Tris-Mon;Back/Bis-Wed;Legs-Fri)
5 Day Split (Chest-Mon;Back-Tues;Legs-Wed;Rest-Thur;Arms-Fri;Shoulders-Sat)
Full Body Mon, Wed, & Fri.
Cardio will be done every 5x week (30min/day) no matter which workout..
Which one would be best?
Thanks!
Calorie deficit would work, any of those programs would work for retaining muscle, the cardio can stay as well.

I did, and you seem to think that a workout program will melt the fat off, do you know how to lose fat?
Either one...
I don't really like doing full bodyworkouts though simply because I enjoy going to the gym. So I would rather go 5x per day instead of 3x.
If you don't really like going then the full body workout 3x per week would be sufficient.

Haha. You are funny. I used to weight 260 lbs man. Just trying to see what's been working for other people because I honestly didn't lose the fat with weight lifting. I did mostly cardio. Now, as I understand, Weight Lifting burns more fat than cardio alone done due to the fact of the body needing to repair the muscle tissue.

Thanks man. Good advice. Repped!
Probably not significant, but if the full body workouts had more overall compound-type lifts involved than the splits, you might be burning more calories simply doing more of the big/heavy movements.
Weight lifting doesn't necessarily burn more fat then cardio... It prevents you from losing LBM and even gaining some LBM.

Hmm, good job on the weight loss, but the cardio was a way to create a calorie deficit, and thats what caused your weight loss. Now if you want to lose more fat, just keep doing what you've been doing and if you've stopped losing fat, then a higher calorie deficit would be needed, not a new workout program.
I thought he said he was doing cardio no matter what, along with the weights?

exactly
OP, you've been given some bad information. Weight training does very little to help you lose fat. If you take long rest periods, you would be lucky to burn 200 calories in one session. As for losing fat because your body has to repair muscles, that is completely false and you should just push it out of your brain forever.
Your question doesn't make much sense. It doesn't matter which lift routine you do; it won't have an effect on your fat loss. If you aren't losing fat to your satisfaction, there's only two things you can do:
1. Eat less
2. Do more cardio
Those are your two options. Nothing else matters when it comes to losing fat specifically.
5 Split in my opinion. Gives you a focus on a particular part of the body, and you can rip it apart.

Really?
How much research have you seriously done?
1. More muscle = More calories burned. That **** has been true forever.
2. Whenever you strength-train any muscle group, the muscle NEEDS to repair. As we all know, your body does it's most "rejuvenation" during rest periods AKA: sleep. Therefore, your muscles do "repair" during any sleep period, or periods of rest. That especially means you burn calories while you sleep.
3. More muscle = Higher metabolism. Faster metabolism = greater calories burned.
Do research before you post something that you think you know that is true. You can ask anyone on bb.com this ****. Its really common sense anyways.
Your thinking about this way too much. Lift, eat in a deficit and meet your protein requirements and you'll be fine. Diet is king...remember that! Good luck.

Are you seriously biting my head off because I tried to help you?
And I'm sorry to inform you that you are wrong. You have no clue how to lose fat, which is probably why you made this thread to begin with.
One pound of muscle burns approximately five calories a day. I'd post a reputable source but you're incredibly rude and not worth the effort.
EDIT: Oh, you're 19. That explains it.

you cant expect too gain much if any muscle whilst cutting let alone any amount significant enough to aid in bodyfat loss. I think the goal should be to try to maintain the muscle you have with weigh training but then focus your attention on cardio and diet.

I dont agree with the being 19 part BTW. Some 19 yr olds know what they're doing.

What you said is somewhat true, but the other guy was correct too. You're talking about a muscular guy ALREADY, so, if he has more muscle he will burn more (a little more, it's not that much). but the other guy (who was trying to help you), was talking about someone not shredded YET. You burn a lot more calories with cardio than with weight lifting, but if you're aiming for the long term, then of course muscle will demand more energy from the metabolism than fat.
I didn't do any research since i'm graduating i'm medicine, hope that doesn't bother you.
Anyway, all the plans can work if you stick to the creation of a calorie deficit. i'm doing 5 day splits and i'm seeing results. If you want cardio help or rely on diet, it doens't matter. I advice you should eat in maintenance level and choose any of the plans you mentioned, you'll see results anyway. You sure do know how to lose fat judging by your great fat loss.

For you guys saying weight lifting does not help burn fat you are definetely wrong. If you use supersets with no rest periods and move straight on to the next exercises; you can definetely get a cardio effect out of it.

Ya because this is how you should train. :\
People burn fat off without cardio by eating under their maintenance level WITH lifting. This is dfferent then eating say 500-700 calories more and then losing that with a cardio session. (Just examples, not real numbers)
As for the workout, I would do the 3 day split because I'm still young and don't even have a license yet =[. But if you like going to the gym (Like the other guy said) and aren't too busy I'd do the 5 day split.
All in all, it won't matter what workout you do unless you train considerably harder with one method vs the other.
