How to use this calculator
- Enter load, sets and repetitions for up to four exercises.
- Add sessions per week and last week's total if known.
- See session and weekly volume.
How it works
Training volume = load x sets x repetitions, summed across exercises and sessions. Increases above about 20% in a week raise injury risk, so the calculator flags large jumps.
