Strength Training - Calorie Burning

dancing_daisy

From the research I've done it seems theres no accurate way to determine how many calories are burned as a result of strength training exercise.

As well as weight, height, age, duration - are the calories burned defined by:

1. How heavy the weight you use is?
2. Which particular muscle groups are being used?
3. The length of rest between sets?

I plan on going into a cut to get leaner but am struggling on how to go about this with regards to strength training. Planning on low reps/low sets for arm work, glute work with minimal hams/quad work, abs work doing planks and v-ups with a weight in moderate no. of sets.

Where is a good place to learn about strength/ muscle maintenance during a cut please?

Why would you do minimal legs, and no back or shoulders or chest?
These are your bigger muscle groups - if you're concerned about calorie burns during strength training, these are where it'll happen, not doing arms or abs...

Did not know that, guess that answers question 2. Which particular muscle groups are being used?

Think I should elaborate though - arm work includes seated row, chest press and shoulder press.

I'm limiting leg work because my hams are super receptive, they've started to buldge where the rest of my lower body hasn't. I swapped the leg press for glute bridges and do some weighted squats but try to limit them till the rest of my lower body catches up with my hams.
