Reps or weight

very true swole ^

if you want to add muscle you must work on your strength - for this i'd say go heavy 3-6reps, every now and again go for your 1 rep max, always use proper form and focus on controlling the negative part of the movement

high reps won't build muscle, i'd say 8-10 reps is my limit unless i'm having a light/recovery week

Right, I was kind of vague in my first responce. I meant that by doing sets of less weight and more reps will increase heart rate and in total burn energy and fat. Not at the exact spot, my bad.
I know some circut training or doing sets of high reps with little or no rest between sets is a great fat burning workout.
