Title: How many calories does a typical bb'er burn during a workout???????
Post by: The Squadfather on February 23, 2007, 04:20:50 PM
this Trey Brewer thread got me wondering, bb'ers make it sound as if they climbed Mt. Everest, ran a marathon, cured cancer and did a triathlon with the amount of food they eat, my guess is that the average weight workout burns MAYBE 250-300 CALORIES MAX, whaddya think?

I don't think that's even close.. maybe like 120-140 max.

Depending on their workouts (lots of supersets, is it leg day, or how little/lot are the rest periods, just weights or cardio afterwards etc...), I would say somewhere between Squadfathers numbers and 500 calories.

Probably about the same as you would if you spent an hour walking.  While your muscles might get tired...how much energy do you think it takes to move a weight, what is essentially a small distance, 10 times or so... answer... not very much!

What a good point!  I would say that if you are getting you're heart rate up for about 45minutes, 1 minute between sets, you may burn 400 if you're lucky and jacked up on ephedrine and caffeine; however, the hormone stimulation that you get from weightlifing heavy is unsurpassable "I believe" because you're body won't release cortisone like marathon or runners do if they run for 45 minutes, but stimulate test and Gh...

Its not the drugs, its the muscle.

So in effect it is the drugs since the gains are artificial, but you have to have the muscle.


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

That would have a nominal effect at best.


It wouldn`t allow you to eat a considerable amount of calories.

Going by most stardard calculations for calories burned through different activities....(it would be very almost impossible to measure exactly, as you would have to take analysis for each specific individual during each specific movement, knowing their exact bodyweight at that moment....)...
A 275lb bodybuilder would burn about 1,000 calories during 1 hour and 15min of fairly intense weight training.  

Now, I don't know if that takes into account rest periods, or if the weigh training would be assumed to be continuous, but that is what most calorie burning calculations would give you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you think you use a lot of energy moving a weight a relatively short distance, well you need to think again.  Think about it, if you bench 300lbs for 10 reps, you move 300lbs about 10-15 metres depending on you're range of motion, length of arm etc. I'm sure some of you smart people could work out the amount of energy needed to do that  :) Plus for most people in an hours weight lifting, you probably spend more time resting than actually doing exercise.  Even the biggest rugby players probably don't burn much more than 1000-1100 calories a match and you think lifting a few weights while spending most of the time resting is going to burn the same amount of energy as this...
