JaeGee, i got that chart from this link...
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2006/healthy.bodies/
under the "prevention" section near the bottom theres a link that says "how to strength train correctly" if you click that you will see their definition of weight lifting.
they weight lift with 5 pound dumbells they dont deadlift and squat hundreds of pounds like us. so i think thats the explanation for the issue you raised.

Really, how is weight-lifting calculated? I've been trying to figure out a rough estimate of how many calories I burn each time I spend an hour lifting in the gym, because I want to figure this into my daily calorie requirements. Obviously I'm resting properly between sets, so I can't just calculate the calories burned as if I've been lifting without stopping for 60 straight minutes! And what about the increased metabolism for the day or so AFTER the lifting session, while my body is recovering and (hopefully) growing?
