I may give that a try I live in AZ, and the garage gets insane in the summer. I am sure 110 plus. |

I am in no way arguing that the more muscle you have the more calories you burn when recovering or not lifting etc...I'm not debating that you shouldn't lift, ( I lift 3-4 days a week) but I would argue all day long you will burn more calories lifting and doing cardio than just lifting which is essentially what your claim is. I also understand that the fat burning heart rate zone is in the 100-110BPM range which is where you reside more in hard lifting than running so you can actually burn more fat lifting than running, but not straight calories.(lets not get into running when fat adapted as that changes the whole scenario). I know this for a fact as I used to lift a lot more than I do today, probably 4 hours a week or so, and as I got older the only way to shed weight was to add in cardio. I now lift for about 2 hours a week and do cardio and am almost as strong but way leaner than I was in my 20's. I could be stronger if I focused on that but that's not my goal. I fully understand some people hate cardio but the idea its not effective or as useful as just lifting isn't accurate. Do you listen to the Huberman Lab Podcast by any chance? He has some great stuff on there. His series with Andy Galpin has a ton of good data and info on workouts and nutrition etc... |

For burning calories lifting is going to always exceed cardio but as you noted if age or other reasons mean you can't lift like when younger then you have to supplement with more cardio. Hate on cardio is real for many, but it can't be left out either. If you push weight to make chest, arm, legs, etc stronger then only an idiot is going to ignore the exercises to make the most important muscle stronger. I am fighting this battle with my 16 year old. he only wants to lift but no cardio. Doesn't understand that just doing something minimal like riding the fan bike will benefit him in the long run. Is that a free podcast? Ill take a listen unless it costs $. |

I feel like for most people, the idea that lifting will always burn more calories than cardio only extends to how often you should be lifting... I've stuck to 3 days/week for a few years and I know as you get more advanced you'll potentially lift 4 or 5 (or 6?) days a week.
At some point you can't just say, lift in the morning, then replace that afternoon jog with more lifting... and instead of cardio on your off day, just lift more. I think that's the point being made, outside of age or whatever. |

I encourage everyone in this thread to give it a listen though I know there are many podcast on the topic of health and nutrition this is the one I seem to keep going back to. https://hubermanlab.com/ Last edited by Marcellus; 04-11-2023 at 12:43 PM.. |

I wouldn't argue that if you are starting out from scratch and could only do one thing, lifting is the most beneficial. Once you get into reasonable type of shape adding cardio then becomes a force multiplier. The most accurate answer IMO is find something you like to do whether its cardio, lifting, cross fit, whatever, and you will more likely stick to it. Not everyone is the same and if you hate the exercise you wont stick with it, no matter what it is. So I always say the most effective work out is the one you will enjoy enough to keep doing it. Just 15 minutes of exercise a day can have a huge effect on health and life expectancy. |

It doesn't do you any good to be strong enough to lift a car if you can't lift your own body afterwards... |

I get what everyone is saying. I am thinking more on the idea of an addition to an existing workout to burn some more calories vs creating a new plan or just starting out.
Throwing in an extra session of heavy core or compound lifts is more effective and an easier recovery than 30 minutes of knee and lower back destroying running/jogging. If I were to add extra cardio it would be bike or swimming. Just to save joints from the extreme impacts from jogging/running. Swimming would be most efficient. |

I row for about 15 minutes 3 days a week, and do strength training 3 days a week. I really need to nail down my diet. That’s my big struggle. I need to start at least tracking protein. |

For some lifts like squat and dead lift I shoot for 6-8. If you are aging and natural, that weight will go down with time. If you are younger aim to progressively increase the weight or reps to hypertrophy. |
