Is jump roping for 1min 10 seperate times during your workout really = 10 min of straight jump rope? I do them as supersets

Simple answer is no, as there will be a difference in intensity and the fact that your heart rate will be different.
What reason are you asking for. If you can be more specific, then it may be easier to answer whether the difference matters in the scheme of things.0 -
Because I do them during the course of my workout vs doing it all at the end. It allows me time to recover for my next lift and it helps keep my heart rate higher during my strength training. For example, set of bench press, followed by a set of pullups, followed by jumprope for 1 min. Rest a bit then repeat 3-4 times. Then barbell bench press, followed by dumbell rows, followed by jumprope for 1 min. Repeat 3 times. Then is incline dumbell press, followed by barbell rows, followed by 1 min of jumprope. Repeat 3 times. So I end up doing about 10 min of jumprope. Just not all at once.0

Why are you trying to keep your heart rate up during lifting?
I may be being slow here, but I am still not sure of the purpose of the question. Are you asking what will burn most calories?0 -
I wold have thought you could perform 10 x 1 minute sprints with much greater intensity than 1 x 10minute...middle distance effort.0

My god, does doing super sets like that work for muscle growth? or is it more of an endurance type thing?
I was only shocked to see that routine cause I reckon if I tried it one of two things would happen - I would either 1) vomit or 2) cark it.0 -
What are your freakin goals, man? Because from the other stuff you've posted I thought you were trying to lift heavier stuff. What does a high heart rate have to do with lifting heavier sh1t?0

Correct. And to get the most # of exercises done in the least amount of time.I may be being slow here, but I am still not sure of the purpose of the question. Are you asking what will burn most calories?
If jumproping for 10 min = xxx calories burnt (one usually cannot constantly jumrope for 10 min though, I can't), then jumproping for 1 min 10 different times be comparable. As long as I can keep my heartrate somewhat elevated. It's not going to be elevated like doing all at once but the supersetting should keep my rate up higher than doing it for 1 min, sitting around for 5 min, then doing it again.0 -

It's not that bad. I need to get xx amount of exercises done in xx amount of time. This is the only way I can accomplish this. Strangely enough, my strength numbers have gone up doing this. But I have no illusions thinking this is the optimal way to strength gains (or cardiio for that matter). It's what I need to do to accomplish what I need to do in xx time0 -

10 minutes of cardio? I wouldn't log it at all, unless you log parking really far from the mall when it's hot out.0 -

10 min of moderate jumprope is approx. 128 calories at my weight/age. Why wouldn't I log that?0 -

1 min is 13 calories x 10 = 130 calories. About the same as logging 10 min. But who knows how accurate that is. Hence the question
But you're right, as far as logging, it's about the same. But I'd still want to know if it's really the same or comparable0 -

It's not the same, but the variance will depend on the person, and the activities being done between sets.0 -

I do lift heavy. But I've found I can do one heavy lift with two light lift supersets in between the heavy lifts. The heart rate has to do with keeping the cardio portion of the superset. My heart rate clearly fluctuates during the workout but I'm sweating the entire time. I try not to just sit there and wait until my next heavy lift so I'll do some other exercises.
Not that this is optimal but last night I had 35 min to workout. Supersetting squats / power cleans. Deads and 1 legged leg press. Then two legged leg press and shoulder flys.0 -

You didn't post weight, or reps, or intensity. All of which matters. Are you logging your weight lifting as cardio? Because you're basically making your workout a metcon exercise. There's a difference in calorie burn if you do an exercise in the morning vs at night. There's a difference if you do it on a Monday or a Tuesday. It might not be wildly variant, but it's there. You're worrying about specifics when you don't need to.
If you want to log it just log it however you like and be consistent.0 -

I doubt you'd be able to quantify the diff in calorie burn if I did post the reps. And how do I quantify intensity to someone else? It's subjective.
Are you saying that 1 min sections of jumprope would burn LESS or more? Wouldn't be more like HITT?0 -

I wouldn't bother trying to calculate it because it doesn't matter.
Just log it. However you like. And be consistent. It really doesn't matter. Your log is going to be inaccurate no matter how you track it, you're just estimating anyway. Get close, and tailor your diet to match it over time.
The time spent worry about this stuff that MAYBE impacts 1% of your overall progress is better spent making sure you hit the 99% every time. That's paraphrased from Stan Efferding:

I'm not saying your 1min vs 10min is definitively one way or the other. I'm saying it's a waste of time worrying about it.0 -

I understand the overall concept. But I was curious and asked. If it's a waste of YOUR time, feel free to bow out. It's not a waste of MY time.
You stated that it would be different but couldn't say if it would tend to burn more or less. In order to log it more accurately, I could underestimate of it tends to burn less.
A bunch of small inaccurate logs turns into a big inaccurate log, correct? And I tend to do this every time I work out so 130 calories logged 4 times a week is significant.0 -

http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/weight-training-for-fat-loss-part-2.htmlThe basic idea of increasing either training frequency or volume in the weight room while dieting is completely *kitten*-backwards on a tremendous number of levels. If there is a single time when overall recovery is going to be reduced (unless you are using steroids), it’s when calories have been reduced. Trying to train more frequently in the weight room on a diet makes no sense.
I’d only note that there is simply a limit to how much high intensity work can be performed under any circumstances, and that amount tends to go down when folks are dieting. I find that too many people, in their quest for EXTREME results have a tendency to try and throw together every different type of high-intensity training without paying attention to the overall loading or the interaction of the different components. And they pay the price.
You may not even be aware of what you could possibly be doing if you have nothing to compare it too, if you have a goal of increased strength, ect.
You may indeed be improving, as anyone starting out can improve doing all sorts of things wrong, which would never work later on. But even those improvements at the start could be better if things were done smarter.
Obviously depends on goal, and knowledge of what will really get you there. Just as many think starving themselves will make them end up trim and healthy, but rarely the case, more often skinny fat and not happy with result.
At to the jump-rope logging, that variance in calories is overshadowed by the inaccuracies inherent in nutrition labels because of the rounding that is allowed, let alone actually getting an accurate serving size by you.
Pick the avg calorie burn.0 -
I powerlifted 10 years ago and stopped. I took it up again in 2009 and have been seeing improvements in strength ever since. I'm not a newbie lifter.
While it's not my ONLY goal, it's one of my goals. Lost 20lbs since 2009. Most of the gains are probably CNS type as I've tried to stay at a slight deficit throughout.0 -

Have no idea why. Are my workouts that much different than yours?
The question about the jump rope is pretty simple.
My workouts vs goals might seem goofy to you. No question there. But I do have the benefit of observing what has happened over the course of nearly 4 years of doing supersets. 20 lbs weight loss and gains in strength. I'll take that.0 -

Ok.
If it's been working so well for the past four years just rock on with what you've been doing. What difference does it make whether it burns 13 calories per minute or 14 calories per minute? It's working. You've been getting the results you want. Keep on with it. No need to put up confusing goofy threads.0 -

I never said it was working "so well". But it has worked. As you are labeling my workouts as "goofy". If I can make it better via better information, I'll do it. Hence the question. If the significance is great, I'll have to adjust. Simple as that
I actually want to know WHY you think it's goofy since you mention it.
1 calorie diff doesn't make a diff. But 3-4 calories per min would. Hence the questions.
Why is merely asking if 1 min jump rope intervals different than jump rope constantly have a significant calorie burn "goofy"? As said, over time, it is significant.0 -
