Lifting weights barely burns any calories. Terrible for losing weight.

the muscle you build doing it is good at burning calories though.

this. the muscles burn fat over time.
Also, muscle weighs more than fat, so relying on weight alone can be deceptive if you're building muscle and burning fat at the same time
but keep at it anon. fitness is its own reward
>>
>>77252149
how do you expect to lose weight while adding muscle!
>>
Try doing 100 kb snatches in 5 minutes

No shit. Abs are made in the kitchen.
I lift because it keeps me from killing others or myself.
I am so sick and tired of dealing with retards and liars. If I was smarter, I would just lie to fit in.
But then I would eventually kill myself.

A pound of muscle burns less than 10kcals a day. At rest.
You should have said HIIT, retard.
Post body, I dare you
>>
having 20lbs of muscle burns like 5 calories a day, its worthless.
>>
>>77252149
Your body recomposes fat to muscle
>>
>>77252226
You are also a retard, because you are hyperbolic and easily misproven.
Is this b8 ot a false flag? Because by saying something so obviously stupid, you unite people against you.

>>77252224
Key is
>at rest
But yes, even over an hour of lifting heavy is burning you
300 calories?
Normies do not realize that they need to spend 2 hours on the treadmill at decent pace to burn off one 12 ounce Coke or a bagel.

>burn calories through cardio
>lose fat
>have lower basal metabolic rate
>now need to do more cardio to keep losing fat or to eat less calories

>lift weights
>build some muscle while lifting weights
>have a higher basal metabolic rate
>lose weight passively by eating the same calories with the added benefit of being stronger

you do cardio for cardiovascular gains which are great and for short term weight loss or damage controlling excess calories after vacation or having too many drinks or whatever, but for long term weight control lifting weights is much better

>>77252149
no such thing as burning calories it's broscience
>>
>>77252149
It boosts your metabolism even if you don't lose weight for a while which will make weight loss easier later.

Losing weight is easier when your maintenance is 3500 instead of 2500

The anons who think that "working out" is good for burning calories have never had a six pack.

>>77252149
Lift to build muscles/skeleton improving your frame and health. Use cardio and diet to lose weight which also improves health. So simple you need to do all of it!

>>77252149
It’s all good just keep the weight and claim you’re a powersharter

so even by your own logic that's 600 calories with extra 20lbs of muscle right bot? like ANOTHER MEAL is necessary if u DON'T want to lose weight doing an hour of fast paced walking that day.

That's why roiders constantly blabber about their food, that's why i had to add 4th meal to my diet - i can't stuff it in 3, they become too big xD Cause i have a lot of muscle and i walk at least once a week - grass cutting season makes sure of that.

>Normies do not realize that they need to spend 2 hours on the treadmill at decent pace to burn off one 12 ounce Coke or a bagel.
well if u don't have electrically assisted ground moving beneath you you can cut that in half and reap benefits of actually propelling yourself forward with gastrocnemius and gute max doing that work and u keep your posture upright if it's on flat - treadmill is always uphill cause your foot sinks into the retarded thing which hunches you over, same for rooning, same for cycling, rowing, hiit you name it - only upright walk is upright, obviously
> h-how do i know if my posture is upright walking
if you fold arms on chest and not much changes in gait nor effort you're upright, aim for extended thoracic, tucked chin, pelvis forward and forward leg straight in knee
