What is Stress Index?
Stress Index is a training metric that has been developed in house through years of data collection and analysis. We see that many people respond to different types of protocols, volumes, intensities, relative intensities and other metrics. It becomes incredibly difficult to understand the interplay of those various metrics to individualize the training. Stress index is a metric that can better account for that. This number is calculated based on RPE, load intensity, and total effort.
Peripheral stress - tracks stress related to the hypertrophy stimulus
Central Stress - tracks stress related to total systemic stress load
CS Balance - Central Stress Balance metric helps accommodate relative intensities
This metric is built directly into the program builder and reporting features. Helping you see with greater ease not just the total amount of stress that works, but the make-up of that stress that drives adaptations!
Take a peak inside!
We are also always in build mode! Working to improve the current features and developing new features. The core intent with our designs is to focus on what helps make better choices. Both for the coach writing the training and for the lifter executing the training.
What others are saying
"My Name is Chris, and I am both a powerlifting coach and a self coached lifter. I have been using the RTS training lab for the last 4 months and it has helped to elevate both my lifters progress and my own progress. Having a sounding board to bounce ideas off of, or a place to go with problems or challenges I have with athletes has been great as it can either confirm what I already have been thinking, or open up other solutions that I may not have thought about. It has also helped bring some creativity to my own coaching and program writing. For my own training I have been lucky enough to have input into my own training from some of the worlds leading coaches and has really helped me elevate my own performance." - Chris Brown
"In my third year as a client, what I find most impressive about the Reactive Training Systems team is that they are always looking for ways to better serve their clients – whether it be improving the current toolset or building something brand new. The RTS Training Lab is the latest iteration of this, and it is excellent. The Coaching Dashboard is easily the best tool I’ve used as a powerlifting coach – far superior to spreadsheets – it is a centralized place where I can monitor athlete progress, deploy training programs, and access the RTS Program Library for inspiration. The live meetings, which occur several times a week with RTS coaches and various subject matter experts, are a great place to get feedback as both an athlete and a coach on topics ranging from training to nutrition to recovering from injury. The product delivers value far in excess of what it costs, and I’d recommend it to any serious powerlifting athlete or coach!" - Gary Smith
"Since joining RTS, I've found that I am looking at my training with a much more open mind. I regularly attend the office hours and get to connect with folks from all around the world who all have different training and lifestyle backgrounds. This is super helpful because you hear so many different perspectives not just in training but in life too. There is a real sense of community on these calls.
Mighty Network allows for you to connect with more than just your coach, you have access to all of the coaches and anyone who is a member. I always look forward to the coaching call to hear how things are going with everyone and hear about their training journey. There is a balanced level of accountability that comes with this to push and learn from your training and others. RTS continues to innovate and find ways for people to connect and push each other. I'm grateful to be a part of it." - Jonathan Marrale
"The RTS Training Lab has benefited my training experience as a whole, providing the opportunity to gain the knowledge and expertise of multiple coaches as well as other professionals in relevant fields, such as sports psychology and rehabilitation in training. It has offered me a lot more autonomy in my own training, as well as providing a feeling of community with individuals pursuing the same goals!" - Darren Liu
