    what do you mean what forms of lifting? i'm only familiar with one form : move a weight, put it down, move it again, repeat

    What is this picking up of things and putting down of things you speak of? The moving of weights? I have never heard of such things. Explain this witchcraft, woman!

    Completely off topic, but that little girl in your profile (Daughter?) is ADORABLE. Do NOT put her down, as I will pick her up and put her in my pocket.

    somebody call the cops on these maniacs before talking about it just doesn't cut it anymore and they move on to ACTUALLY kidnapping ACTUAL children.

    I'm only one maniac, don't paint everyone else with the same brush you paint me. :laugh:

    It is not the liftning that burns calories it is the muscles you gain that burns calories in the long run.

    This is debateable. You do burn calories while lifting, although not as many as it feels you should be burning. Building muscle on average only adds ~50 cals to your TDEE I've read.
