It's not about what we think. It's about how it works for YOU! Just try doing 12-15 reps for 1-2 months, and decide which one gives you better gains.

Extra intensity worked well for me, seems to be a lot more demanding though, got alot more fatigued and tired the first couple of weeks of training,

12-15 is going to burn more fat, while 8-10 is better for adding muscle...whicher you prefer doing at this point in time is best for you.

When will people wake up and realize, that just cause you work a muscle, does not mean that fat will be burnt from that area. It's a fallacy.

Go with 12-15. I think taller people do better with higher reps; shorter, stockier people do better with fewer reps.
I wish I had some evidence to back up that claim, but I don't. It's just my observation after 3+ years of being in gyms. Tall, lanky frames tend to bust apart when attempting the loads needed to work in =/> 8 range. Pecs tear, hernias pop, etc.
Manlets thrive in that range.

Where does he say that doing higher reps will burn fat from that specific bodypart? He means burning fat in general. ****, basic reading comprehension anyone?
