About Overhead Press Calories

Overhead Press has a MET value of 6, meaning it burns 6 times the energy of rest. Actual calories depend on body weight, training intensity (weight used ÷ 1RM), number of sets, and rest time.

How Intensity Affects Burn

Using over 90% of your 1RM on Overhead Press adjusts the MET by 1.5x, plus EPOC kicks in. At light loads (under 50% 1RM), MET drops to 0.7x. High-intensity training burns calories more efficiently even in shorter sessions.
