Velocity Cutoff Method Guide: Practical VBT Intensity Prescription and Threshold Setting

Guessing today's max wastes good days and buries bad ones. The velocity cutoff method uses an 800Hz IMU to auto-adjust load from real-time velocity loss.

Velocity Deficit Explained: The 800Hz IMU Diagnosis That Reveals Hidden Jump Limits

Some athletes squat heavy but still jump short; velocity deficit explains why. An 800Hz IMU diagnoses this hidden ceiling and what to train to fix it.

Velocity Prescription for Strength: An 800Hz IMU Decision Framework

Guessing today's training weight wrecks your session. An 800Hz IMU estimates daily 1RM and sets velocity-loss thresholds from 10% to 30% by lift.

Velocity-Loss Set Termination: The Most Precise Way to Manage Neural Fatigue

Guessing when a set is done wrecks recovery. Use velocity-loss cutoffs of 10% to 40% by exercise, measured with an 800Hz IMU, to end sets at the exact rep.

The Velocity Target Warm-up System: An 800Hz IMU Protocol for Scientific Pre-Lift Preparation

RPE-based warm-ups guess at readiness. The Velocity Target system uses IMU checkpoints, like 0.85 m/s on the bar, to confirm the nervous system is primed.
