| | | depends on your diet and goals. how fast did the weight come on? If your goal is to gain muscle, then you need to gain weight, however, if you gain weight too quickly, alot of it will be fat.
If your goal is to slim down and decrease body fat, you need to eat less. |

More weight=more work performed when doing cardio activities, so a heavier person will always burn more calories and hypertrophy will increase weight through muscle growth.
So, given between more emphasis on weight training vs cardio, weight training wins. | Amen, not to mention that weight training keeps your metabolism up alot longer than the standard staty state cardio. | | |
