eli5 is there any difference between lifting actual weights and pretending you’re lifting weights?

Like if I clench my fists and muscles hard enough and imagine holding these weights, is it pretty much the same?

Under zero circumstances. If you bicycle your legs when you’re laying in bed, do you think that’s the same as doing a mountain stage of the Tour de France?

What you’re lacking is resistance, the heavy weight doesn’t want *[citation needed]* to be moved. Your muscles need to actually move the thing to burn the calories, to build the muscle.
