This can be controversial for some readers, but several studies and observation claims that lifting heavier weights burns more calories rather than increasing number of repetitions. It can help to burn upto 25% more calories as lifting heavier weights tears more muscle and body burns more calories to repair them. One more argument many influencers give to support this statement is, lifting heavier increases your muscle mass and with more muscles in your body your body's basic demand of energy increases, then you burn more calorie while doing anything even while sleeping.

Some claims it can increase your time by 20%, and keeps you and your mind active and boosts your actions by its rythems and beats. That is why almost every gym has a dedicated music and sound system to play music for their clients.
