I go to the gym and do strength training for 45min-1 hour. Couldn’t there just be a general calorie range for strength training instead of typing in each exercise? That’s so manual!

    There is. It's in the cardiovascular section of the exercise database, the only part of the database that estimates calorie burn.

    For normal reps/sets workouts with short rests between sets, record the whole session time as "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)".

    As Ann said above.

    It's a fools errand to attempt to estimate calories per set done. Just use the estimate provided above for total session time. Yeah, it may not seem that high compared to cardio, but that's normal.
