#2, while true, is pretty negligible.

Definitely not negligible at all. Building muscle mass is actually a priority 🙏

Building muscle is important, but the calories you burn throughout the day from resistance training is negligible. Literally going for a quick walk will burn more calories.

Still disagree very much with that! Your long term health is correlated with your muscle mass. A decent workout not only will burn around 500 calories that day but building muscle is a long term benefit. Absolutely more efficient than a walk. Also going for a walk post workout is great.

Dude, the video said (you, whoever) that lifting weights burns fat throughout the day. This just isn't true, at least not meaningfully. I'm specifically addressing the part in the video about post workout effects. It is in NO WAY more effective than a walk as far as calorie burn, and you are blatantly lying to people if you claim that it is.

🤣 you don’t really get it and that s ok. I’ll explain again: your muscle mass is your investment on your future self. More muscle mass means your future body will be burning more calories than your current body at ISO calorie. That’s just facts. Anyone who trains knows this. Walking has nothing to do with it and is still a great addition to any routine. 🙏

You keep sidestepping my point, indicating that you are indeed wrong, and misleading your followers. **Lifting weights burns a negligible amount of calories post-workout** There's this myth about 10 years ago (and probably earlier) that lifting weights keeps burning calories well after your workout. This is incredibly misleading. It burns like 200 calories over the next 10 hours (20 calories per hour), at best. You are better off doing a brisk walk around the gym. While this effect is technically true, it's misleading and the practical effect is non-existent. Bunk fitness advice ... block, I'm over this conversation. Nobody lifts weights to burn calories, not really. you can't outlift/outrun your fork.

I think this is a bit of a misunderstanding - my interpretation of the OP is that increasing the amount of muscle mass that you carry increases your BMR, making it easier to maintain a deficit going forward. I don't think anyone was arguing that lifting is a great way to directly burn calories
