Hip Thrust Load-Velocity Profile: Testing From 30% to 85%

Hip thrust velocity doesn't scale with load like squats do; 30-50% 1RM sets move noticeably faster. See the 30-85% testing protocol and 1RM estimation.

Load-Velocity Profile for the Overhead Press: Zones and 1RM Estimation

Your overhead press 1RM guess is probably off by 5kg+ because shoulder readiness swings daily. Build a real load-velocity profile with a 6-load protocol.

Deadlift Load-Velocity Profile Guide: 1RM Estimation and Velocity Zones with 800Hz IMU

One lifter used an 800 Hz IMU to build a deadlift load-velocity profile and added 10.7% to their 1RM in 12 weeks. See the protocol and data.

How to Measure Bench Press Velocity: 1RM Estimation and Fatigue Detection

Bar speed drops before your bench even feels heavy. Use PoinT GO's load-velocity profile and velocity-loss thresholds to estimate 1RM and catch fatigue.

How to Read Velocity-Load Charts: From 1RM Estimation to Fatigue Detection

No max-out testing needed. See the 5 signals on your velocity-load chart that estimate 1RM, flag fatigue, and tell you how much to load today.

How to Calculate Estimated 1RM from Velocity Data

Mean velocity correlates with relative load at r=0.97, accurate enough to skip max-effort testing. Here's the step-by-step estimation protocol and formula.

How to Create a Load-Velocity Profile: Practical Guide

Guessing your 1RM from a chart is unreliable. Build a profile with the right test loads, read the regression line, and auto-regulate load every session.

Load-Velocity Relationship Accuracy Meta-Analysis

A meta-analysis of load-velocity relationship accuracy in VBT: where error creeps in, how exercises compare, and which sensors you can trust in the gym.
