Calculate total training volume (sets × reps × weight).
Training volume (sets × reps × weight) is one of the primary drivers of hypertrophy. Research shows that higher volumes (10+ sets per muscle group per week) are superior for muscle growth, while lower volumes (3–6 sets) are more appropriate for strength and power.
Tracking volume over time allows you to progressively overload systematically — adding 2–5% volume each week to continue making progress. When volume plateaus, that is often a sign it is time to deload or adjust programming.
