How It Works

Calculate optimal rest intervals between sets based on training goal (strength, hypertrophy, power, or endurance) and the energy system requirements of the exercise

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Training goal (strength — The training goal (strength recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hypertrophy — The hypertrophy recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Power — The power recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Or endurance) — The or endurance) recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Energy system requirements of the exercise — The energy system requirements of the exercise recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the rest intervals result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the training goal (strength, hypertrophy, power, or endurance), energy system requirements of the exercise for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate optimal rest intervals between sets based on training goal (strength, hypertrophy, power, or endurance) and the energy system requirements of the exercise. Use the rest intervals result to inform your calculation.
