Higher reps, possibly non-competing supersets, short rest intervals.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is it called metabolic because it speeds up metabolism?

Basically it just burns more calories.

Is it the same as a depletion workout or different?

No. There was another post on this.

A metabolic may be a depletion workout as well, but not necessarily. A depletion workout likely will always be a metabolic workout.
