How it works
Multiply the number of sets by the reps in each set and by the load. The product is the total weight moved, which is useful for comparing one session with the next.
Tonnage is a simple count. It does not measure effort, rest or how hard a set felt, so read it alongside how you feel.
Worked example
4 sets of 8 reps at 135 lb each move a total of 4,320 lb.
Questions
Does bodyweight count?
Not directly. Bodyweight exercises do not have a clear load, so enter a load that fits the exercise, or track that work another way.
Should I count warm-up sets?
Most people leave them out, so the total shows the work done at working weight.
Is more volume always better?
No. Volume is one measure of work. Rest and recovery matter, so change volume gradually.
