How We Calculate Calories Burned for Bench Press in Atlanta
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Atlanta:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 5 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 5 for bench press is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Atlanta's average temperature of 63°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
The bench press is the most popular upper body strength exercise, performed by pressing a barbell or dumbbells upward while lying on a flat bench. It primarily targets the pectorals (chest muscles) while engaging the anterior deltoids and triceps as synergists. The bench press builds pushing strength that translates to many daily activities and sports. While the calorie burn per rep is moderate, the metabolic demand increases significantly with heavier loads and higher volume sets.
