How many calories does a typical bb'er burn during a workout???????

[benjamin pearson]

Milos must burn about 10,000 calories per workout.

Actually milos expands more calories smashing his keyboard after reading Getbig hahaha

The more muscle you have, the more calories you can eat.

Long as that muscle is being used. A muscle not in activity, Ronnie Coleman's muscle won't burn any more calories than yours, if you are both at rest.

[The True Adonis]

Explain please.... how do you figure?

Lower T3 Levels is WAY more beneficial to people to retard aging.  Never understood why one would want to increase these levels.

Ronnie Coleman burns more calories every time he lifts his arm up.

Its impossible to not use your muscles unless you are a paralyzed or chained up, or bed-ridden.

yes the average Get Bigger burns about 27,000 calories per SQUAD owning.

[chainsaw]

Eatin to much means I'll shit too much.

HAHAHA nothing burns more calories than 70000 lateral raises with 5 pounds  

[benjamin pearson]

yes the average Get Bigger burns about 27,000 calories per SQUAD owning.

HAHAHA YES!!!

[chainsaw]

How about a meltdown!

As a rule of thumb, I've always eaten 500 more calories on weight-training days than on non-weight-training days.

That won`t make a difference.

Those 500 calories more than likely are used elsewhere.

[troponin]

hahahahaha, i'm sorry Justin, no offense but 1000 calories burned is bullshit, come on now.

It's not my equations, not at all. 

There are base guidelines utilizing oxygen uptake analysis on millions of individuals over years.  In school we did these tests on ourselves in lab to measure our energy expenditure.  When the body "burns" food to produce energy, oxygen is used and carbon dioxide and heat are produced.  You can measure the amount of calories burned in activities by measuring either of these 3 things. 

Some places can actually do a "room calorometer" (or some name like that) where studies will remain in a room for several days and the amount of heat produced by the body is determined by measuring how much heat is absorbed by the surrounding walls....so there are some accurate data in the guidelines that are used.

Whether or not these guidelines take into account the amount of calories that hte person's basal metabolic rate would have burned, I don't know. 
But, that is abou the amount that any cheap internet site will give you for a 275lb man

Is it correct?  I don't know, but thats what they'll say.

I gotta agree. And over the years that you train, even while you will pick up the intensity/load etc. your body adapts very quickly to lessen the energy expenditure. 

[The True Adonis]

IF I wanted to burn about 1000 calories and wanted to do so in weightlifting, it would take about 231 minutes or almost 4 HOURS of STRAIGHT weightlifting.

[troponin]

. your body adapts very quickly to lessen the energy expenditure. 

How?

[The True Adonis]

How?

The heart becomes a more efficent pump and beats more slowly at rest for starters.

[dr.chimps]

How?

Hmm. Perhaps, I was a little loose with my words, there, troponin. All I meant was that the body adapts very well to stress, so that doing the same thing over and over will result in a diminishing return, so that either new stress is needed or a variation of somesort to maintain same intensity/energy output. That's a bit garbled; hope ya get my gist.

/last thing i want to do is get get caught in the TA calorie is a calorie time/space continuum rift

It's worked just fine for me in achieving my goals for years.

No. You were correct when you said the body adapts and becomes more efficient at using calories.

[The True Adonis]

Too many variable involved to attribute the extra 500 calories to your goals being achieved.

Take the 500 calories away all those years and I am quite sure you would have had the same result.

[HalloweenMan]

the laughter derived from laughing at a vince goodrum post/picture burns approximately 40,000 calories per viewing. 

[troponin]

The heart becomes a more efficent pump and beats more slowly at rest for starters.

The cardiac output is still the same.  The stroke volume increases proportionately to the decrease in heart rate.  The volume of oxygenated blood is still the same to the working muscle.

Most studies show an increase in amounts of fats used for energy as an adaptation to exercise.  

At any given workload, the body will adapt and require less energy to perform that activity.  That is for any given workload however.

With weight training, as the body adapts the weights, and intensity potential will increase.

Put down the crack pipe you guys....
At 220 pounds involved in 'vigorous' weight lifting for 90 minutes its almost 1000 cals.

[SteelePegasus]

hahahaha, exactly, yet these clowns try to eat 4000-5000 calories per day to cover the brutal expenditure from 3 sets of benches, 3 sets of inclines and 3 sets of flyes.

you forget the 3 sets of looking in the mirror while flexing..that has to be 50 calories easy
