    Same. Tom Platz couldn't even do 5 sets of 50 at 225. Strong e-stats

    The way to track calories with weight training is using a HRM(heart rate monitor).
    You will burn more calories lifting heavier, not lighter. Example, 50 reps x 5 sets. Lets assume 1lbs lifting weight(just for example)

    1*50*5 = 250 total weight lifting

    Now imagine if you do 100lbs for 5 sets and 5 reps

    100 *5*5 = 2500 total weight lifted.

    What takes more time, 50 reps or 5 sets, or 5 reps for 5 sets? You're doing more work in a shorter period of time. It's like walking 1 mile or sprinting 1 mile, what burns more?

    HRM is not accurate for tracking weight lifting calories.

    And you burn more sprinting a mile than you do walking a mile.

    Chuck Norris once got a pump squatting 5x50 @ 225 pounds. There were no survivors.

    No easy way to say: everything in this post is wrong.

    You actually burn more calories per set to failure lifting light weights (eg 40% of 1 RM) compared to heavy weights (eg 90% of 1 RM). Like 2-3x more (although still not a huge amount). The reason is simple: significantly more time working. And the "afterburn" is the same.

    I just noticed that this skeleton is using two mice. Interesting development.
