Let's say during a set of 10 reps on the bench, or a set of 10-15 curls, etc. How many calories do you burn? I would imagine more than running - because you are using a lot more strength and doing a more exploding/snapping motion - do you burn maybe 3-5 calories a rep or is that too high? If you're working to failure that is...but then again you're not using as many muscles as running.

Lift smart.
I rear ended a car this morning...the driver that got out of the other car was a dwarf !!
He looked up at me and said "I am NOT Happy!"
So I said, "Well, which one ARE you then?"
That's how the fight started.

i have a polar heart rate monitor, 60 minutes in the weight room can range from 450-575 kcals. If i take a lap in between sets 700-1000 kcals.
