Is the "afterburner effect" a meme

Seems like a normal thing to me. You don't stop using calories when you put the weight down, since you need calories afterwards to repair what damage it caused to your muscles

It's real Anon

Click bait name for a real thing. It's basically what happens when you get cramps from running too much

I thought that lifting weights had a higher afterburn than cardio as it takes calories to repair muscle or is that just all bro science?

>Do 50 min of cardio
>Tack on 1000 calories to BMR
"No"

is scooby in favor of cardio every day of the week?

Just get a caloric deficit through diet and do some light jogging every now and then so you don't get out of breath after walking up a set of stairs

>Most researchers use a measure of EPOC as a natural part of the quantification or measurement of exercise and recovery energy expenditure; to others this is not deemed necessary. After a single bout or set of weight lifting, Scott et al. found considerable contributions of EPOC to total energy expenditure.[9] In their 2004 survey of the relevant literature, Meirelles and Gomes found: "In summary, EPOC resulting from a single resistance exercise session (i.e., many lifts) does not represent a great impact on energy balance; however, its cumulative effect may be relevant".[10] This is echoed by Reynolds and Kravitz in their survey of the literature where they remarked: "the overall weight-control benefits of EPOC, for men and women, from participation in resistance exercise occur over a significant time period, since kilocalories are expended at a low rate in the individual post-exercise sessions."[11]
Can someone explain what this means when it comes to weight lifting? I am not so good when it comes to science.

I am not an exercise scientist, but it seems like EPOC is basically your body making you breath heavier and more deeply after exercise to make up oxygen that was lost during exercise since your body "overclocked" itself if that makes any sense. A single session (e.g. one weightlifting session or run a week) won't have much of an EPOC effect, but multiple sessions can result in a significant EPOC effect. It seems to basically be an added source of burnt calories I guess. The more you "overclock" your body within a certain time frame, the bigger the EPOC effect will be. So if you were to burn 300 calories lifting weight in one session and you do that five times a week, your total calories burnt in one week would likely be more than 1500 calories because of EPOC. It doesn't seem like a huge source of calories loss, but it likely isn't insignificant.
