Video Description
Which lift actually burns the most calories per rep?
I put it to the test by measuring calories burned during deadlifts, squats, and lunges — rep for rep.
In this video, I break down:
• How I measured calories burned per rep
• The exact lifts and reps I used
• What this means for fat loss, conditioning, and workout efficiency
• How you can use this info to structure better workouts
This isn’t a lab study — it’s a practical, real-gym experiment to answer a simple question lifters actually care about:
Which lift gives you the most calorie burn for every rep you grind out?
If you’re training for fat loss, time efficiency, or just want the most “bang for your buck” lifts, this one’s for you.
