📈 Training Volume Calculator
Training volume — sets times reps times weight — is a simple way to track how much work you do and whether it is going up over time.
Total volume
How the Training Volume Calculator works
Volume is worked out for each exercise and added together. Leave an exercise blank to skip it.
Volume = Sets × Reps × Weight (summed over exercises)
Step-by-step calculation
- 1Enter sets, reps and weight for each exercise.
- 2Multiply sets × reps × weight.
- 3Add the exercises together.
Worked example
4 × 8 × 100 kg (3,200) + 3 × 10 × 60 kg (1,800) + 3 × 12 × 20 kg (720) = 5,720 kg total volume.

Is more volume always better?
No. Volume should rise gradually, and recovery matters as much as work done.
What about bodyweight moves?
Use your body weight or the added weight, and stay consistent each session.
