TL;DR

Incorporating strength training into your fitness routine can be beneficial for fat loss, as it increases your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and promotes the after-burn effect. When strength training for fat loss, choose weights that allow you to perform eight to 15 repetitions with proper form. Compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses with moderate to heavy weights are effective. To lift weights safely, warm up, maintain proper form, progress gradually, listen to your body, and allow for rest and recovery.
