    Sounds like the Ultimate Burn!!
    I believe that's called muscle confusion...switching it up and challenging different muscles.
    That's Awesome!!
    Great Job =):noway:

    I burn about 800 in 60 min doing a very intense workout. The more you weigh the more you burn too! Get a heart rate monitor, like a Polar FT4, it will be very accurate.

    It's possible to do 900 in 80 mins!

    possible yes, but if you HRM said that then you probably didn't burn that many, HRM's are not accurate when it comes to strength training. The calculation used assumes a certain oxygen uptake that only occurs during cardio. So while you were lifting your HR does go up but your HR assumes it is going up due to the same physiological factors that cause it to go up during steady state cardio, which it does not, and will over estimate your burn for everything other than cardio.

    I don't want to hijack the thread - and I absolutely believe you on this - but I'm wondering the most accurate way to account for your burn when strength training?

    I still don't buy this. It might be scientific, but just like BMI calculations, it's all speculation. I guarantee I burn more with my weight training in 45 minutes than someone jogging on a treadmill for 45. I don't see how it can possibly be valid if someone that weight trains super sets all exercises, works the entire body, and never takes a break.

    ALSO, HRM work more accurately when you have your VO2 set right in the HRM!!! Just an FYI

    In that case you may burn more than your HRM says, but you HRM will not be correct.

    That is a great question. I am not 100% sure, but I would probably want to use a bodybugg or fitbit to get a better estimate than an HRM.

    whats VO2?

    volume of oxygen uptake. V02Max is the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during exercise. Also known as: maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity (not anaerobic (sprinting and strength training)

    More, I'll give you that. This concept always baffles me. All in all it seems that there is no way to possibly know.....just don't over eat I guess.

    I might be wrong but I think the fitbit is just a glorified pedometer type thing. Think you might mean bodymedia fit?

    I used to burn about 900 calories playing racquetball in about that length of time according to my HRM. Not sure I could last that long anymore though.

    Awesome information guys. Thanks for sharing!!!

    I'll try to get my self a bodybugg but it's tough getting one shipped to Canada.

    It does make sense that the HRM would overestimate resistance training a little bit. I guess I'll just try to count 2/3 of what the HRM shows me and also try to enter my stats into it before I get my bodybugg.

    Thanks a lot guys!!!

    Appreciate the info!!!

    Have a great day!!!

    No you HRM is telling you to CALL 911 cause you are getting so swole!

    Haha joking aside, i burnt around 2,000 calories yesterday rock climbing for 2 hours so 900 cal in 80 is very possible.

    I am SUPER jealous! I wish I could go do that! Did you boulder, or what?

    Nah i was top roping, was actually at the gym for about 4 hours, but since i don't count belaying my buddy as exercise, i just put 2hrs.

    If that is what your HRM monitor said and if it is working properly - ABSOLUTELY!

    Yes, its possible. I went jogging for 80min one day and burned 1142 calories.. I'm a plodder so I logged it as race walking NOT jogging cause i DONT just MFP.That gave me 842 calories:-)..That was still good enough for me. I dont have a HRM, I cant afford one. I rely completely on MFP and other sites to estimate my burns
