The formula

volume = sets × reps × weight total = sum across exercises

Volume load is a simple measure of how much work a session involved. It says nothing about how hard each set was.

What to watch out for

Enter sets, reps and weight for each exercise, and leave any you did not do at zero. Warm-up sets are normally left out.

Volume is most useful for tracking one lift or muscle group over time. It is not a score to chase: heavy sets add less volume than light ones, yet they often count for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I work out training volume?

Multiply sets by reps by weight. 3 sets of 8 at 80 kg is 1,920 kg.

Does a heavier workout always have more volume?

No. 5 sets of 3 at 100 kg is 1,500 kg, while 3 sets of 12 at 60 kg is 2,160 kg, so the lighter session has more volume.

How much should volume go up each week?

There is no fixed figure. Small, gradual increases are the usual advice, and a lighter week from time to time helps you recover. Pain or stalling progress are reasons to ease off.
