Why is it bad to lift with the intention of burning calories, retaining muscle, and increasing metabolism? It's good way for fatties to burn more fat on a calorie deficit, no? You'll still get noob gains and be able to lift for strength once you're lean.

I was told doing a pushup is equivalent to benching %70 of your bodyweight. How accurate is this?

It's not, and nobody ever said it was. In fact, the opposite is true. If you are losing weight, you should lift, despite the fact that you won't gain muscle (or not very much, anyway), simply to preserve what you have.

I did pic related and got a reading of 68 lbs, meaning 148 lbs were being supported by my arms. given i weigh 216, 216x.7= 151.2, more or less yeah 70%
