If you can do 10 curls or 10 bench press reps and your heart stays up in the 150-160 range for an hour after those reps, then you've burned around 500 calories from one set. Look, as long as you keep your heart rate high, you will burn calories. Either way, your heart rate gets up there and you burn calories. I'll stick to the 18k reps with 170lbs with my legs. So you can do your 11k reps with 135 lbs with your arms. I'd like to see your arms do that even if you have a prison build 200 steps * 90 minutes = 18000 steps pushing roughly 170lbs of weight up into the air.ġ8000 * 170 = 3060000 lbs of force. Thats why when I go for a run I take roughly 200 steps a minute when running around 6mph. Thats why you see stairclimbers, treadmills and the such as the primary way to burn calories over a long period of time. How did this turn into a bench press discussion?įirst of all the arms/chest are not an endurance muscle so it would be really hard to keep them going for an hour to exert that much energy. Once you understand that your heart is the ultimate measure of your power output, then you will begin to understand how calorie burn works.Įither you're reading a different thread or you've totally confused me. The amateur runner is because his body is working harder to produce his overall power output. Assuming they are both the same weight and have the same amount of muscle/fat ratio, who is burning more calories?

But a professional trained runner may be able to run at 9mph have a 85% heart rate. Just so that you understand how it works: A amateur runner could probably run at 6mph have a 90% Heart Rate (180+). I run at 85%-90% depending on the temperature and the humidity. If you get your heart rate up to 180 (90% VO2Max) then you'll be burning about 1200 calories an hour for a typical 200 lbs man. Your total calories burned can almost always be calculated soley by your actual heart rate over time.

The monitor I use is the Polar s625x which is what real marathon runners use and will tell you your calories burned and even upload all the stats to your computer to analyze and view in a graph form after your excerise. I come home and eat over 2500 calories in an hour to make up for it and still lose weight.īy the way, I have a professional heart monitor that allows me to set everything on it. When I go for my 13.1 mile run, I burn almost 3000 calories in 3 hours. My 8 mile run takes me 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or so. When I go for my 8 mile run, I burn about 200 calories a mile. If your heart rate is 90% of your max (180ish+) then you can easily burn these type of calories if you are around 200lbs or over.

Of course it is possible to burn 800 kcals in one hour.
