Too bad they focus entirely on strength training. I exercise to manage my weight, improve my mood, and improve long term health benefits.
Increased strength would help with all of the above…
Exactly! I started powerlifting training as a route to weight control. More muscle mass equals more resting calorie burning.
You burn a ton while lifting too, assuming you're only taking reasonable breaks between sets and/or circuit.
In fact, energy restriction + high protein + resistance training appears to be the best of all for losing fat:

Not to say aerobic exercise isn't important - far from it - but if you want to lose fat, caloric deficit plus hi protein plus lifting wins.
What is energy restriction? That video is looong
Less energy in, so less kCal (I assume)
Yep!
Caloric restriction, or eating less calories than you burn off. Yeah, it is long, but it's a good watch.
TL;DW: eat less calories than you burn off, eat more protein, and lift weights or do calisthenics (body weight exercises like pushups, etc).
Thanks
