How to Improve Power Clean Technique with IMU Data

Technique, not strength, determines about 73% of power clean performance. Use 800Hz IMU bar-speed data to catch the 5 faults lifters miss most often.

How to Improve Pulling Strength - Quantifying Scapula-Lat Sequencing in Rows with 800Hz IMU

A healthy row-to-bench ratio is 0.85-0.95, but most lifters sit at 0.65-0.75. Run a 5-step diagnostic and 8-week program to fix lat-scapular sequencing.

How to Improve Sled Push Power: Load Curves, Posture Angles, and IMU Prescription

Sled loads at 80%+ bodyweight build more horizontal force than light sled work, but only if your push angle holds. Measure it with 800Hz IMU over 8 weeks.

How to Improve Snatch Bar Speed: Phase-by-Phase Velocity Analysis and IMU-Based Weakness Diagnosis

The snatch needs 2.0-2.4 m/s of peak bar velocity to reach the catch. Analyze each pull phase with 800Hz IMU to find exactly where your speed leaks.

How to Improve Sprint Acceleration Strength in the Gym: Jumps, VBT, and 30m Power

80% of first-10m acceleration force comes from horizontal propulsion, 60% of it trainable in the gym. Trap-bar jumps and VBT lifted output 35% in 8 weeks.

How to Improve Handball Throwing Power: 800Hz IMU Rotational Kinematics 12-Week Protocol

Elite handball throwers hit 130 km/h+ off a coordinated kinetic chain, not raw shoulder strength. This 12-week IMU protocol targets a proven +6 km/h gain.

How to Program a VBT Microcycle: Optimizing the 7-Day Cycle with an 800Hz IMU

Does your microcycle really need to be 7 days? Compare 4 load-distribution models, follow the day-by-day VBT template, and use the autoregulation tree.
