Totally agree with everything Hrdgain said.

To tell you the truth if you wanted to do circuit training I wouldn't add cardio at first (if at all). But if you want your weight work to be fat burning that is a good way to do it. It has the advantage also that even though you are going for a high heart rate the work is (or should be) of a fairly intense nature which will add to the fat burning effect after the workout. In other words it will ramp up you fat burning metabolism. Keep in mind that with circuits there is not need to do ultra high reps like 15 or whatever. You can do eight or eight to twelve. The point is to keep moving.

With that said strength training while cutting has a lot of advantages too. One thing is you can put your cardio in more safely. You can do lower reps lower volume whole body workouts and it still has a very good fat burning effect post exercise while improving your strength.

There are all sorts of things you can do when it comes to cutting and the truth is there is not one magical combination of sets and reps that everyone has to do.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
