Hi Natrushka,

I am very new with weight lifting and I have a question about BodyRX cycles.

I read the book and I see (besides the carb/fiber intake differences) that each cycle has different number of repetitions with different amount of rest in between. Cycle 1 is to get stronger and Cycle 3 is for burning fat. I am lowcarbing anyway, so I am not going to the high carb that Cycle 1 allows, but as far as the weight lifting part is concerned, what's the difference between doing fewer repetitions to failure with longer rest (Cycle1) and doing more repetitions to failure with shorter rest (Cycle3)?
Would doing more reps to failure with less rest work better in burning fat rather than making you stronger? I'm at this point just interested in losing weight (preferably fat) and toning.

I would greatly appreciate your comments on this.
