Need to track workout volume — total sets, reps, and load across a week — without maintaining a spreadsheet or downloading a gym app? This howtoany walkthrough uses a browser workout log so volume adds up from the sets you already lift.
If you want session-to-session load increases, see how to track progressive overload without a spreadsheet. If you care about best-ever lifts, see how to track personal records at the gym. If you are still building the habit of writing sets down, see how to keep a workout journal online. This guide is about volume — how much total work you did.
Why volume needs finished sessions, not a scrap notebook
Volume only means something when every working set is recorded and the session is closed. A paper log can do that, but adding sets × reps × weight by hand is slow mid-week. A browser log that keeps finished sessions can:
- Turn each logged set into weekly volume without spreadsheet formulas
- Keep full history so this week’s total is easy to compare to last week
- Stay on your phone in the gym — open the site, log the set, move on
- Leave room to decide whether to add a set, a rep, or weight next time
MyRepLog’s free plan includes unlimited sessions, full history, weekly volume, automatic personal records, and top lifts per exercise.
Steps
Open MyRepLog. Go to myreplog.com in your phone or laptop browser. No app-store download is required.
Create a free account. Sign up with no card. Unlimited sessions, full history, and weekly volume are free forever.
Log every set. During the session, log the weight and reps for each set on every exercise. Use kg or lb, whichever you already train in.
Finish the session. End it so history and weekly volume save. Incomplete sessions do not give you a reliable volume total.
Review weekly volume. After a few finished sessions, check weekly volume and training history to see how much total load you moved this week versus last week.
What “more volume” should look like
You do not need to pile on sets every workout. A practical approach: keep exercise names consistent, log every working set, then glance at weekly volume after the last session of the week. If volume fell and you still felt recovered, you may have skipped sets or cut a session short. If volume jumped and joints feel beat up, hold the same numbers for a week before you add more.
MyRepLog does not invent a volume plan for you on the free plan — you decide the work. History, weekly volume, and top lifts give you the numbers to decide. AI coaching and advanced strength analytics sit on MyRepLog Pro if you want them later; they are not required to track workout volume.
Tips
- Log warm-ups only if you want them in the total; many lifters skip them so weekly volume reflects working sets.
- Keep exercise names consistent week to week so volume and history stay readable.
- Follow a program you already have, or browse training programs (beginner, strength, hypertrophy, fat loss, 3-day, and home training) so the exercise list stays stable while volume changes.
- Glance at exercise technique guides before a new lift so early logged sets are worth building on.
- Add the site to your home screen as a progressive web app if you want an icon; you can keep opening it in the browser either way.
Open MyRepLog and finish the next session so this week’s volume has a real total to compare.
