Our sports performance calculators

Why is it important to measure your fitness and bodybuilding performance?

You can only improve what you measure. It's a fundamental principle that applies perfectly to fitness and weight training, because without accurate measurements it's impossible to know whether you're on the right track or treading water.
Imagine navigating without a compass or a map. Frustrating and inefficient, isn't it? 

Yet this is what many people do by neglecting to quantify their progress in their fitness journey. In fact, keeping track of your performance allows you to see your progress in concrete terms, which is a real motivational boost. It's that little spark that keeps you going when you feel like giving up! Because sometimes you think you haven't made any progress, and all you have to do is look back at your metrics to realise that you are making progress.

But that's not all. The measurements also help you to set realistic objectives. None of those crazy goals like "I want to look like a professional bodybuilder in 3 months". (unless you've discovered a magic potion, in which case, please share!). No, we're talking about objectives adapted to your level and your real progress.

That's where our calculators come in. These invaluable tools allow you to monitor your progress accurately, without needing a doctorate in sports science. Whether you want to estimate your muscular potential or assess your cardiovascular condition, these calculators are your best allies for optimised training.

"What gets measured gets improved" said Peter Drucker.

Here are our calculators to provide you with the basic data you need to move forward.

Muscle Gain Calculator

muscle gain potential calculator

The Muscle Gain Potential Calculator estimates the natural limits of your muscle development. It gives you a realistic projection of your ability to gain muscle, based on your unique physical characteristics.

Using data such as your height and weight, it estimates your lean body mass (LBM) and your attainable weight. This information is crucial for setting realistic targets and avoiding disappointment.

The benefits are many: you can optimise your training programme, adapt your nutrition, and keep a long-term perspective on your journey. (Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was your dream physique!)

Lean Mass Calculator

Lean Mass Index (LMI) calculator

The Lean Mass Index (LMI) is a measurement tool that goes far beyond the simple weight/height relationship. It offers you a precise view of your body compositionby focusing on your muscle mass rather than your total weight.

Unlike its cousin the BMI, the BMI won't call you 'overweight' just because you've developed muscles. (Yes, BMI can be a bit narrow-minded sometimes!) This is particularly useful for sportspeople, who tend to have a greater muscle mass than average.

The IMM takes your body fat percentage into account, which makes it much more relevant for assessing your real physical condition. It allows you to monitor your progress in bodybuilding without being misled by weight fluctuations, which may be due to muscle gain rather than fat gain.

1RM calculator

1 Maximum Repetition (1RM) calculator

The 1 Repetition Maximal (1RM) is the cornerstone of any serious bodybuilding programme. It represents the maximum load you can lift once with correct technique.

Knowing your 1RM is like having a valuable estimate for your training. This calculator allows you to estimate this maximum value without risking injury by trying to lift weights that are too heavy. Or to " waste time". with loads that are too low.

With this information in hand, you can optimise your sessions by choosing the right loads for your specific objectives. Whether you're aiming for pure strength, hypertrophy or muscular endurance, 1RM is one of the most important values for your training.

VO2 Max calculator

VO2 Max calculator

VO2 Max is an important cardiovascular endurance value. It represents your body's maximum capacity to use oxygen during exercise, an indicator of your overall physical fitness.

By estimating your maximum oxygen consumption, it provides you with a valuable insight into your cardiovascular condition.

Knowing your VO2 Max allows you to :

  • Setting realistic training targets
  • Tracking your progress over time
  • Adapt your programme to maximise your endurance gains

Whether you're a keen runner or simply want to improve your cardiovascular health, this calculator is your ally in reaching new heights of endurance.
