How does the calculator determine if my volume is adequate?

The `evaluate_volume_adequacy` tool compares your actual weekly sets against your established MEV and MRV thresholds. It will flag if you are 'Under' (below MEV), 'Optimal' (within MAV), or 'Over' (exceeding MRV) for each muscle group.

What is 'Effective Volume' in this tool?

Effective volume is a metric that weights your sets based on intensity. Using `compute_effective_volume`, the tool excludes any sets performed with an RIR (Reps in Reserve) greater than 3, as these are considered to provide insufficient stimulus for hypertrophy.

Can I use this to plan my mesocycle phases?

Yes. You can use `get_rir_targets` to find the recommended RIR range for your current phase, whether you are in Accumulation, Intensification, or Deload.

The Hypertrophy Rep Range Calculator is a specialized tool for lifters looking to optimize their training using the principles of MEV (Minimum Effective Volume), MAV (Maximum Adaptive Volume), and MRV (Maximum Recoverable Volume). By tracking your weekly sets, RIR (Reps in Reserve), and mesocycle phases, you can ensure you are providing enough stimulus for growth without exceeding your recovery capacity.

With this MCP server, you can use tools like calculate_group_volume to sum up your weekly workload, evaluate_volume_adequacy to check if you are hitting your target ranges, and compute_effective_volume to see how much of your training is actually driving hypertrophy based on intensity. It's the perfect companion for managing accumulation, intensification, and deload phases.

A manufacturer asked an AI to plan seasonal inventory. The AI said 'maintain adequate stock levels.' No forecast model. No EOQ. No safety stock. No supplier diversification. No bullwhip mitigation. Ordered on gut feel from a single Shenzhen supplier, shipped by air because 'urgent,' and watched demand amplify through three echelons until the warehouse held 340% of actual demand. This tool forces five axes: demand forecasting, inventory optimization, supplier risk diversification, logistics cost-per-unit analysis, and bullwhip effect mitigation.
