About how many calories does a man burn during a lifting session?

350

Barely anything unless you're doing set after set non-stop keeping heart rate at cardio tier levels.

Lifting in of itself does not burn calories, the muscle gained (say 20 pounds of extra lean body mass) is what gives you the extra metabolism, 20 pounds of extra lean muscle will probably increase your base metabolism by 200 or so calories on-top from normal. So even then, that's not much.

This is why we still have to restrict and semi-starve ourselves to get lean, because lifting itself isn't some easy mode fat loss tool.

Plus you have to take into account that the human body quickly adapts to consistent effort, this is why diet will always make up at least 90% of your body-composition goals, the other 10% is how you train, and what you train for.
