Workout volume calculator.

Calculate set tonnage and total workout volume from sets, repetitions and load without saving your inputs.

DIRECT ANSWER

Workout tonnage is sets × repetitions × load. It can describe external work for a stable exercise, but it does not capture range of motion, effort, technique or how much each muscle contributed.

What tonnage is good for

Tonnage is most useful when comparing the same exercise under similar execution. It is less useful for comparing different movements simply because one can be loaded more heavily.

What this tool stores

Nothing. The calculation runs in the browser and does not send or retain the load, repetitions or set count.
