I'd say wait until you plateau until you start doing hiit cardio
Given it is an 8 week comp, it is not very likely he will plateau... nor would the big 3 burn a ton of cals in a 30 minute workout.
Walk in at 9 -- walk to squat rack
9:01-9:05 - Set up barbell for Squat
9:05-9:06 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:07-9:08 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:09-9:10 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:11-9:12 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:13-9:14 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:14-9:17 - Set up barbell for Benchpress
9:17-9:18 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:19-9:20 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:21-9:22 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:23-9:24 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:25-9:26 - Do set - rest 1 minute
9:26-9:29 - Set up barbell for Deadlift
9:29-9:30 - Do set - Do not rest -- Do not re rack weights
Walk out door wishing you had more time
That gets you about 15 minutes of moving weights, and 15 minutes of resting.
And while a pound of muscle burns more cals than a pound of fat, he is not going to add a lot of muscle on in 8 weeks while he is trying his hardest to lose weight.0 -

First off, the amount of weight you lose will largely be dictated by the kitchen. You can't outtrain a bad diet....doesn't matter what you do. With that in mind, as far as the gym goes, I recommend full body exercises that burn a lot of calories and/or HIIT. The reason for HIIT isn't simply for the calorie burn while you're at the gym....its to create something known as EPOC which is needed for the "afterburn" effect (burning calories for hours after the workout while your body recovers during EPOC). In order to successfully trigger EPOC, you need to be able to work at near max HR. Anyway, here's an idea for a workout. five intervals of: 2 minutes on cardio machine and 1 minute of bodyweight lower body exercises like air squats, lunges, split squats, Bulgarian split squats, step ups, etc. In each interval, increase your speed and/or incline. That's your first 15 minutes. For the next 10 minutes, do five intervals of: 1 minute on cardio machine and 1 minute of bodyweight upper body exercises like different variations of push-ups, burpees, etc. Increase your speed and/or incline for each interval. For the final 5 minutes of your workout, you're going to do 5 intervals of: 30 second sprint and 30 second rest.0

As far as calorie burn....I push myself hard either with a home workout or at a boot camp at a gym and I burn about 500 calories per half hour (according to my HRM) when I push hard (I'm talking averaging 85-90% of your max HR for the entire half hour). Most folks can't burn 500 calories per half hour. This is why your nutrition is most important in determining whether you're going to burn fat.0

You'll want to use some sort of cardio exercises for the most calorie burn. Use whatever machine(s) get your heart pumping the best and can help you hold the heart rate up there for the 30 minutes.
I find that the Arc Trainer or Elliptical work best for me. They tend to be easy to maintain a pace that keeps my heart rate where it is supposed to be.
I try to keep my heart rate around the 140-150 mark. That's around 80-85% of my max heart rate. At that heart rate I would burn around 475 Calories in 30 minutes. This is, of course, based on my age, weight, and gender. Yours would be different.
Good Luck!!
How do you figure calorie burn based on height, weight and gender?0 -
the elliptical with a high resistance and holding the arm bars the whole time will burn more than most anything else. Sure burpees are killer but youre not going to be able to do them for 30 mins straight0

I used to go as hard as possible at highest incline I could keep up with on the treadmill for 10 min--burned about 100calories. Take 30sec walk breaks, repeat 3x, should be a good burn:)0

Use an HRM for the best indication. Most 30 minute cardio workouts burn a maximum of about 300 calories if you are not in shape and less if you are.0

I would say strict diet... Lots of running and kick boxing0
