Sure HIIT will burn more cals in a shorter period of time. But you can't just dismiss resistance training like you are.
So far all you've done is rip everyone who disagrees with you but have not offered any substantial argument. Post your routine dude lets see what you do. I'm curious to know your secret. I want to take my fitness level to an otherwise unattainable pinnacle of excellence.

My theory is very simple.
Moving your entire body, quickly, for a long period of time, without resting. Is better for burning fat than moving individual body parts, for short periods of time, with rest inbetween the sets.
There is a direct relationship between how long, how fast and how much you move your body. And calories burned.
So it's better to move around a LOT, quickly, doing something like running, swimming, jumping rope or cycling to burn fat. Than to do little weight lifting motions with rest inbetween.
That's it. That's the whole thing......
It's based on this piece of common sense and logic. More body movement is better than less..... My theory is very, very easy to grasp. Any questions?
My routine changes every week. I work out on instinct and don't follow a strict routine.
I do a push/pull/leg split, hitting each muscle every 5-7 days.
As for sets and reps, I go by feel. Generally I make each lifting session 60 minutes long and do different things within that time period with every workout.
For example, sometimes i'll do 5 sets for chest, sometimes 9. Sometimes i'll do benches and flies, sometimes incline benches and modified dips.....
I threw my routine out the window pretty much. I excercise certain body parts on certain days, but as for specific excercies, sets and reps, I do something different each and every time.
But of course I always do the compound movements like squats, bench, deads, shoulder press.
For cardio I usually ride a bicycle outside. I hate doing cardio on a machine.
But right now my body fat is very low and i'm ripped, so I don't really do much cardio at all. I'm trying to bulk up at this point.
