HRM with strength training

How many of you use HRM when doing strength training? How many don't. I'm curious if I need to start wearing mine or not, I've heard it doesn't truly get an accurate read. What does everyone thing. P.S. I just recently started strength training.

Use mine all the time ... especially with kettlebell training. I use a Suunto which I have checked and rechecked with other equipment - and it appears to be the most accurate of the ones I own for strength & stationary cardio. Garmin for running and biking.0

I wear mine, but I do go to Strength Training classes so they are at a continuous faster pace than doing strength training by yourself.0

HRM's are not accurate for strength training... lifting does not use the cardio energy system. it uses the lactic acid and atp-cp energy systems. both of which do not use oxygen to make energy. and oxygen being the basis of a HRM's calorie burn estimation.0
