This was me, cookies or something must have cleared my name out. Personally i do weights on alternating days i.e.
A) 45-60 mins cardio B) 45 mins weights - 25 mins cardio
Rine and repeat.
Eventually i fucked my knees up this month from what i can guess is overtraining and the tendons in my knee couldn't repair fast enough, so i'm pretty much fucked this month. Anyway my point is i do weights prior to cardio to boost fat loss during cardio because the lifting will burn through glycogen, your primary source of energy. When it is depleted your body will then start using a less efficient energy source, fat, which normally occurs around 20 minutes into cardio (depends on intensity). Lets say for ease, it starts burning fat at around 13 minutes in due to weight lifting. You see where im going with this.
Outside burning glycogen, lifting will boost your metabolism, burn calories (not as much as cardio in general) and overall i just find it enjoyable. You won't gain alot of muscle while cutting, after a few months i can see my triceps & biceps seem bigger in terms of muscle rather than fat and i have gotten stronger. Right now i'm just using free weights but will be adding in a pullup bar & barbell once my knees are back to strength again.
tl;dr - Weights motherfucker, do them.
