Have you ever thought about doing bodybuilding to burn

When we talk about weight training, the initial thought that comes to mind is increased muscle mass. But we don't talk about the other benefits, including fat burning. Responding solely to the question in the title: Does weight training burn fat? I want to make it clear that during weight lifting, the use of fat fuel is very low. Therefore, we don't consider fat as an energy source "during" this activity. Glucose is the main energy source! However, when this substance is depleted and after the weight training session, that's where the secret lies. Strength training promotes three physiological, natural, and healthy "mechanisms" for burning fat without any side effects. This is the path that occurs in every human being. How can I burn fat by strength training?
