This is generally true, but both contribute to overall increase in metabolism and advancement in lean muscle tissue over fat - so really, unless you're in great shape already, both will help.

I guess the way to look at it is, "if you're trying to lose weight, just f-ing go, don't worry about the semantics or specifics so much as being in the gym 5 days a week"

Yeah, I agree, I'm just saying that if you are overweight, I wouldn't start out with heavy lifting....unless you want to look like Nate Newton.
