How to Set Your Personal Velocity Zones with 800Hz IMU Data
Generic velocity tables ignore your actual strength curve. Build strength, power, and speed zones from your own 800Hz IMU numbers in just a few sessions.
Why Most Lifters Overestimate Their 1RM: The Science of Measurement Error
78% of lifters overestimate their 1RM, missing by 8.7% on average. IMU velocity data catches the error and fixes load prescription for good.
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.
How to Test 1RM Safely Without a Spotter
Skipping a spotter doesn't mean skipping safety. Follow this 5-step protocol: pin height, velocity-based 1RM estimation, and a safer attempt sequence.
5 Real Reasons Your Squat Isn't Getting Stronger
Same squat weight for months despite training hard? Five data-backed causes of a squat plateau, plus how to test which one is actually yours.
How to Calculate Training Intensity: %1RM, RPE, and Velocity Methods
Velocity-based load prescription beat fixed %1RM by 9.4% more strength over 10 weeks by self-correcting for daily readiness. See all three methods here.
How to Calculate 1RM from Velocity Data
True 1RM testing carries a 1.3-per-1,000-session injury rate in powerlifters. Measure bar speed at two loads and extrapolate 1RM with this field protocol.
How to Warm Up for Max Testing Days
A rushed warm-up can cost you a PR. Follow this minute-by-minute plan: general prep, mobility, PAP priming, then confirm readiness with velocity.
How to Calculate Your 1RM Without Maxing Out
Maximal testing costs injury risk, CNS fatigue, and a lost training day. Compare rep-max formulas against the more accurate velocity method, step by step.
How to Predict 1RM Safely: Velocity-Based Estimation
Grinding out a true max risks injury and skews your data. Velocity-based estimation and rep-max formulas get you within a few kilos, error range included.
