Just want to hear more view on this topic. Do you guys have any exercise regime that emphasize this afterburn effect??

Afterburn is the post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) your body goes through. What this translates into is your elevated metabolism after a workout, or simply, the calories your body continues to burn after your workout is done. Afterburn can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 48 hours, depending on the intensity and duration of your workout.

So far base on my experience in the gym, key factors for large burn phase

1. Repetition
2. Rest time
3. Resistance
4. Intensity
5. Exercise emphasize on large muscle group

Based on the input I am thinking on the order of the above and what is the sweet spot in combining the above criteria into a regime.
