Training Volume (Tonnage) Calculator
Calculate tonnage for a strength workout as sets × reps × weight — the standard measure of training volume in resistance training.

Fórmula
Volume (tonnage) = sets × reps × weight. Example: 4 × 10 × 60 kg = 2400 kg.
Preguntas Frecuentes
Why track tonnage?
Tonnage correlates with hypertrophy and strength progression. Tracking it week over week helps apply progressive overload without guessing.
Tonnage vs. hard sets?
Both are valid metrics. Hard sets (sets taken close to failure) better capture stimulus in higher rep ranges; tonnage is simpler and works well in the 3–12 rep range.
What is a typical weekly tonnage?
Intermediate lifters often accumulate 10–30 tons per major muscle group per week. Needs grow with training age and recovery capacity.
