    Try this for a general estimate: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/Calories.html

    If that website is even close to accurate, then I am burning 622 calories during a normal strength training session which for me last about 50 minutes.

    In the cardio section select Strength Training. The immediate burn for lifting is low - like 300 calories per hour of continuous lifting - but there are continued and additional caloric burn benefits beyond offsetting caloric intake.

    Lifting weights with different levels of intensity will have different results. Weight lifting can be very leisurely to extremely intense. I use a core fitness and strength training coach and when we go extreme I can burn up to 650 calories and hour. The calculations based on heart rate and bmi for weight lifting aren't exact but they give you a good idea, the same goes for my cardio sessions (not exact but close)
