    I admit that I saw it as a mostly harmless trainer-speak post myself.

    It’s too much.

    As a person who has a hard time being motivated in weight training, I appreciate you OP.

    If check their 4 other posts I'd put money on them pointing to influencer or wannabe coach.

    How much?

    Neither optimist nor pessimist. Just an accuratist (wow, spell check let that through!).

    I am a huge proponent of weight training. Getting stronger, more functional and looking better are all great benefits! But lets not over represent the energy burning thing. And fat is metabolically active at about 4 calories per lb. So, if one is gaining muscle and losing fat, the net is not much from a calorie burning point of view.

    A wise man once told me, "intelligent people presented with accurate information will usually make good decisions."

    And if they don't advertise, why would it matter?

    And this came from a MFP moderator....let that sink in.

    OP, your post, in essence, is very true. Educate yourself, learn your individual body, make quantifiable plans, and enjoy yourself on the rollercoaster ride of fitness, and also in life in general.
