WHAT'S WEEKLY MEV + MRV CALCULATOR?

This calculator will let you know what is the "optimal" range for working sets per week for the squat / bench / deadlift. Unless you are some absolute genetic freak, this tool will accurately show you the best volume ranges to not overtrain yourself.

How to interpret the results?

In the results table you will see number for 3 phases of training for competition.

H - Hypertrophy, usually the volume should be increasing through this phase
S - Strength, the MEV and MRV are pretty close to each other, but the intensity is getting higher each week
P - Peak, last weeks before meet, very strong dropdown in volume to ensure the ability to recover from very high intensity

The numbers shown under MEV & MRV can be interpreted as

MEV - Volume(working sets) at the beginning of training block
MRV - Volume(working sets) at the end of training block

Why Is My MRV Lower Than My MEV?

In some cases, your MRV may be lower than your MEV, especially during strength and peaking phases. This happens because:

The goal is to reduce volume while increasing intensity.
High fatigue levels at the start of the block may require lower volume as you approach competition or testing.

If the difference between your MEV and MRV is significant, focus on improving recovery habits like diet, sleep, and stress management.
