Maybe 150 calories.

yea thats pretty much what i usually estimate
doesn't matter brah. you're building muscle, and muscle burns calories more efficiently than fat does... you're giving yourself long term benefits.
150 calories WTF - i would have thought 400 - 600

It's probably a 20 minute workout and he weighs ~160lbs.
doesnt matter, adjust your independent variables, ie, the calories you eat.
what you burn can vary too much and is really a huge guess,
atleast only adjusting food intake gives you a better estimate of calories in/out.

I wish you burned that much in such a small training session!

+1. People tend to way overestimate weight training caloric expenditure.

Yeah, muscle burns about 3 calories more per lbs than fat. So if you have 20lbs muscle vs. 20 lbs fat you're up a whopping 60 calories a day! Not even worth mentioning.

oh yeah i definetly agree with you bro, this is just something i always wondered about because its always just a guess on how much you burned
doesn't this depend on weight of weights?
