How Does StrengthLab360 Handle MAV & MRV?

Short Answer:
Yes—but not in a rigid, one-size-fits-all way. MAV and MRV are important concepts, and our system applies them dynamically, based on your individual performance and recovery.

Detailed Answer:
MAV and MRV are key ideas in modern hypertrophy training, helping define the optimal training dose (MAV) and the ceiling before overtraining (MRV). But these values aren't fixed—they change based on factors like:

  • Your training age and recent workload

  • Sleep quality

  • Stress levels

  • Nutrition and overall recovery

StrengthLab360 takes these variables into account by:

  1. Tracking your RPE each session—letting us understand how hard the work feels across time.

  2. Adjusting volume and progression rate as the mesocycle unfolds, to match your adaptation curve.

  3. (Soon) Integrating a Fatigue Tracker that considers sleep, soreness, and perceived recovery to better pinpoint your personal recovery window.

Instead of guessing your MAV/MRV manually, the app watches for signs of overreaching or stagnation, and shifts your volume accordingly. You get the benefit of science-informed training without the spreadsheet stress.
