How do I calculate my total hypertrophy stimulus?

You can use the `calculate_hypertrophy_stimulus` tool by providing the sum of your tension scores, the total number of sets performed, and your current fatigue level.

Can I use this for both compound and isolation exercises?

Yes, the tools like `get_tension_score` and `find_optimal_tension_zone` are designed to handle both compound and isolation exercise types with specific multipliers for each.

What is a relative load assessment?

It is a measurement of how heavy a weight is compared to your estimated one-repetition maximum, which you can determine using `assess_relative_load`.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides precise physiological modeling to estimate mechanical tension, a primary driver of muscle hypertrophy. By analyzing load, high-intensity sets, and exercise types, it calculates tension scores, relative load assessments, and optimal hypertrophy zones. Use get_tension_score to evaluate specific lifts, assess_relative_load to compare weight against your maximum, find_optimal_tension_zone to identify ideal training ranges, and calculate_hypertrophy_stimulus to measure the total growth potential of your entire workout session.
