About this calculator
Volume (tonnage) = sets × reps × weight. It's the most common single metric to gauge weekly training stimulus. A lifter doing 5 × 5 at 225 lb does 5,625 lb of volume on that exercise. Hypertrophy targets typically run 10-20 working sets per muscle per week; strength focus runs lower volume at higher intensity. Volume alone misses intensity — 100 reps at 50% 1RM is very different from 30 reps at 80% — but it's a useful weekly comparison metric within consistent intensity zones.
