Frequently asked questions
What is session load in this calculator?
Session load is duration multiplied by session RPE, then summed across the week.
How big of a week-over-week increase is too much?
Exact limits vary by athlete, but abrupt large increases should be treated cautiously and contextualized.
Should I use this for strength-only programs?
Yes. It still helps monitor total stress trend, especially when adding conditioning or high-volume blocks.
