Key takeaways
  1. Volume for each row equals sets multiplied by reps multiplied by load. Total volume is the sum of all rows.
  2. Volume does not measure effort, range of motion, tempo, exercise difficulty, or proximity to failure. Compare like with like across similar sessions.
  3. The calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored, sent, or transmitted.

What does this workout volume calculator tell you?

Add training volume across up to five exercises or working set groups.

Volume for each row equals sets multiplied by reps multiplied by load. Total volume is the sum of all rows.

How to use the result

Use the result as a consistent planning number. Record the inputs with the answer so a later comparison uses the same method.

Recalculate when the underlying inputs change. Avoid comparing results created with different units, measurement methods, or machine settings.

Where the number stops being useful

Volume does not measure effort, range of motion, tempo, exercise difficulty, or proximity to failure. Compare like with like across similar sessions.

What is the catch?

Check every entry and keep units consistent. When an input is uncertain, calculate a reasonable high and low case so you can see how much the answer depends on that number.

Common questions

Should warmup sets be included?

Include them if you want total external work. Exclude them if you only compare working set volume.

Can I mix pounds and kilograms?

No. Use one unit for the entire calculation.
