Mongolian-born grand sumo champion Yokozuna Asashoryu wears a ceremonial belly band as he performs a ring-entering ritual at Meiji Shrine in Tokyo January 7, 2008. Perhaps it is related to changes in basal sympathetic nervous system tone. Also, changes in RMR are not solely due to changes in FFM (or skeletal muscle mass). Maybe a sex difference exists with men responding better than women. So what gives? Clearly there is quite a bit of variability in the RMR response to gains in FFM. found no change in RMR when adjusted for FFM. 3 They found that RMR before and after training was 11.8 kcal/lb FFM/d and 12.3 kcal/lb FFM/d. looked at RMR after 16 weeks of resistance training in 13 healthy 50-65 year olds. The authors of the study said that changes in absolute and relative RMR in response to heavy resistance training are influenced by sex but not age that’s good news for us old guys. In general, this study suggests that you burn roughly 12-13 kcal per pound of FFM daily. All groups increased FFM: +4.4 lb in young men, +4.18 lb in young women, +2.2 lb in older men, +1.98 lb in older women. The other thing that stands out is how truly unimpressive the number of calories burned for one pound of fat-free mass (FFM). The first thing that stands out is that in both young and older women, their metabolic rate didn’t change at all. Their baseline or pre- and post-training RMR were as follows: They performed whole body resistance training 3/week for 24 weeks. They had subjects divided by age and sex: 10 young men (20-30 years), 9 young women (20-30 years), 11 older men (65-75 years) and 10 older women (65-75 years). For the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on RMR.
They looked at the effects of 24 weeks of strength training on RMR, energy expenditure of physical activity (EEPA), and body composition. Nonetheless, here’s an investigation that examined resting metabolic rate (RMR) pre and post resistance training.

2 Regardless of whether that number is entirely accurate, let’s just say RMR per unit of fat free mass is about as impressive as dunking a basketball on an 8 foot hoop. 1, 2 According to Robert R Wolfe PhD, “every 10-kg difference in lean mass translates into a difference in energy expenditure of ~100 kcal/d.” Or in units us Americans prefer, that’s about an increase of 4.5 calories for every pound gained. Can you say Thanksgiving buffet with every bite?! So does making those bi’s, tri’s and glutes a tad bit larger result in resting metabolism that’s copious, capacious or colossal? Or is this Much Ado About Nothing? Before I provide a teleological explanation of why this notion is cockeyed, here’s some food for thought. Blue whales can apparently consume half a million calories in one mouthful. Putting on muscle is the sure-fire way to have the metabolism of a blue whale.” And that way, the fat will melt off your flabby belly like a stick of butter on a hot stove. But don’t be hoodwinked by the promise of a jacked up RMR.īy Jose Antonio PhD FNSCA FISSN CSCS – How often have you heard the following refrain? “To increase your resting metabolic rate, you need to lift weights.
Heavy resistance training is great for pretty much everyone.Teleologically, it makes no sense for RMR to increase to any appreciable extent if one does gain lean body mass.
