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.
Hex Bar Deadlift Load-Velocity Profiling: A Complete VBT Guide for Maximal Power Output
Hex bar deadlifts move 21% faster than straight bar deadlifts at the same load, which changes your velocity zones. See the testing protocol and V-L curve.
VBT for Masters Athletes: Complete Velocity-Based Training Guide for Lifters Over 40
Training past 40? Use 800Hz IMU autoregulation to cut injury risk, protect power output, and adjust load to your daily readiness, not a fixed percentage.
VBT Velocity Thresholds by Lifter Experience: Novice vs Advanced Profiles Compared
Same velocity threshold for every lifter? Thats a mistake. See how novice and advanced cutoffs differ, using 800Hz IMU data and individualized profiles.
Velocity Deficit Explained: How to Measure and Interpret the Gap Between Strength and Speed
A high 1RM does not guarantee explosive movement. Velocity deficit measures the real gap between strength and speed, with steps and ranges by sport.
Velocity Threshold Cycling Explained: How to Rotate Velocity Zones Across a 12-Week Block
Training the same velocity zone for months stalls progress. Rotate strength, power, and speed thresholds on a 4-week cycle validated with 800Hz IMU data.
