How many Calories are burning when lifting x amount of weight y length in CM?
Hello there!
I've been wondering about this for a long time and have asked around several places with no result :/

So I lift weights, semi-regularly, and I was wondering how many Calories I was burning by doing it.
All the calculators I find are pretty "stupid", there is no way they can be correct as they don't ask for how heavy the weight I'm lifting is, nor how much I move it.

So I was wondering if anyone could help me with a GOOD formula to calculate this.

Let's say I lfit 50 kg 100 cm up in the air, how much Calories would I burn doing it?(or joules, as I doubt It'd even be 0.5 Cal)

Of course this would be a theoretical answer, and not the exact real thing.

-Thx in advance!

It's summer vacation... It's a honest question.
If you can't contribute in any way then don't post, or I will report it as spam or flaming.

There's also a thing called Summer School.
If I can't contribute you're gonna report this as a "flame" yet it's in no possible way near a "flame" If I was cussing and directing a negative conversation toward your way then it could be considered flame but this isn't what I am doing..
This would only be considered spam. Good try though, use your brain you saying anyone posting not contributing to helping your knowledge is considered flame this right here makes you an imbecile.

That isn't flaming either that's just me being honest.
Good luck figuring this out though, have a very nice day.

I said spam OR flame, depending on the post. And if your not going to post something related to the topic, why even post? It would be considered spam (unless it's a bump) and if it was negatively aimed at me or the subject I would call it flame. L2R before claiming something...

Thanks for the GL, and have a nice day :)
(oh and I'm not even in school, so I guess it was plain stupid of me to say that it was summer vacation, but I just tried to make my point: that this was a question that I've been wondering for a long time, and it was not for school in any way)

EDIT: And I didn't feel welcome here, I don't know if this was the best place to post, but I could't find a better place when I made the post...
I didn't bring my homework here; I came with a question relating to weight lifting and fitness, thus I thought the sports sub-forum would be best...

Never really thought about this because I just do cardio to burn calories. But, like cardio, it's also gonna be relative to the mass of the person. I don't know if there's really a practical way to calculate the amount used per lift.

Hehe :) yeah I know it would be relative to the mass of the person; But I would be satisfied with a simple, theoretical formula :) I just want a "baseline" that I can look at after/during workout.

It's pretty horrible reading "You burn 113 amount of calories lifting weights for 30 minutes" really? so if I do benchpress constantly for 30 minutes I would just burn 113 calories?(example) Non of the calculators I've found so far ask for weight I lift, what actual exercise I'm doing or anything like that :/
