My Tom Tom Spark HRM says I usually burn about 100 calories for every 10 minutes of lifting, when I piggy back off my run. If I lift alone it is usually about 75-80 for every 10 minutes of lifting.
HRMs are not accurate for, or meant for lifting-unfortunately.
And to add, that's not how it works anyway.
And that too0
