FAQ
What is a mesocycle?
A training block of 4 to 6 working weeks followed by a deload week. Effort and volume build through the block. See the Training Guide.
What does RIR mean?
Reps in reserve: how many more good reps you could have done. 2 RIR means you stopped about two reps short of failure.
What are MEV and MRV?
MEV is the minimum effective volume, the fewest sets that still drive progress. MRV is the maximum recoverable volume, the most you can recover from. MesoLab ramps sets from near MEV toward MRV.
Why do I need a deload?
It lets built-up fatigue drop so you can start the next block fresh. See Deload Weeks.
Can I use pounds instead of kilos?
Yes. You can choose kg or lb, and you can set a default unit in Settings. Our screenshots show kg.
Is MesoLab on iPhone and Android?
It's on Google Play now. The App Store version is coming soon; join the waitlist.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, Pro and Family both start with a 7-day free trial.
