    If you go to muscle failure, take that as the set. No real need to stop and start a set. If you are more focused on getting to the desired reps, lower the weight so that the last two to three reps are tough enough but accomplishable.

    This :)

    Both are wrong. The adrenaline of weight lifting raises your heart rate and throws off the HRM though, so the MFP one is at least closer to right.

    I bought a HRM last week (Polar FT7), and I love it. One thing I noticed is that when I used it the first time, I compared the numbers from the HRM to entering my workout through MFP and there was only a difference of 34 calories. My HRM had the highest number.

    I feel a bit more comfortable with my past workouts now, because I was always questioning how accurate MFP was. It seems pretty accurate...at least for me!
