Training while dieting
#1
Question 
How should one be lifting when trying to lose fat ? Is my idea of avoiding to break down muscle by keeping the reps low (2 for pure strength) legit ? Is that how it works ? Im also only doing 4 compound exercises for 2 sets daily. When i was eating at a surplus i was demolishing (4 compound exercises for 4 sets for 9 - 1 reps all sets to failure + 4 sets maximum effort isometrics for 10 seconds for strength) a specific muscle group at certain days and letting it rest for a week. Should i avoid that now that im gonna constantly be in fat burning mode ? Can the muscle get repaired (if it needs to anyway) ?

The classic approach is to reduce the volume (number of sets and reps) and the total amount of exercises while preserving the intensity (lifting heavy).

For example, you go from 5x5 to 1x5 while keeping the weight the same.

A) Can i still go for higher reps (8-10) ?
B) If i'm doing less shouldn't i be lifting more frequently ?

Yes. That would make sense. So that your body does not burn your gainz in the first place. But take care of your weekly volume, as Truthseeker said.

I don't think that Martin is natty, still I got great results with his method(IF+RPT):
