Short answer

How do I turn my workout volume and RPE into a stress score?

Your AI uses the training load tool to multiply your weight and reps by your perceived exertion. This gives you a single number representing the physiological cost of the session. You get a clear breakdown of intensity and fatigue levels.

The results

What you get from the calculation

The AI processes your raw numbers into these specific outputs.

METRIC

Single stress score

The tool calculates a unified value for the session. You see exactly how much strain you put on your body.

ANALYSIS

Intensity breakdown

The AI separates volume from perceived effort. This shows if a session was hard because of weight or because of fatigue.

TRENDS

Fatigue tracking

The AI compares current loads to your recent history. You can see if you are overreaching or underperforming.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI provides the math, but you decide if the score feels right. You interpret the data to adjust your next session.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as your personal sports scientist by running these steps.

  1. Data ingestion

    Your AI reads your recent workout logs or spreadsheets to find weight, reps, and RPE values.

  2. Load computation

    The agent applies the load formula to every set recorded in your log.

  3. Stress scoring

    The AI aggregates individual set loads into a total session score.

  4. Contextual summary

    The AI presents the final score alongside a summary of how the intensity compares to your baseline.
