Ok, well if your looking to burn fat, drop sets can be done sort of like circuit training. Meaning, if you do your sets with very little rest, you can get your heart rate up, and create a cardio like effect with the wieghts.

To me, thats not optimal though, I like to use a 5x5 or a 3x3 to keep my strength up, and Hiit cardio to kick up fat loss. Its up to you though, maybe give both a try and see what works best for you.

Oh, and on a side note, with those goals, your diet will be your limiting factor, so make sure your on point there.
