How to Fix Bench Press Sticking Points: Conquering Weak Zones with Velocity Data

A stalled bar is not random. 800Hz IMU data shows sticking points cluster into three zones. Diagnose yours, then apply the matching drills and loads.

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 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 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.

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.

How to Test Barbell Acceleration with an Attached IMU: Placement, Axis Calibration, and 7 Key Metrics

Velocity alone hides how a lift accelerates. This 7-step protocol covers IMU placement, axis calibration, and the metrics that reveal bar speed changes.

How to Train Bench Throw Power: An 800Hz IMU Protocol for Upper-Body Explosiveness

A normal bench press only accelerates through 50-70% of the rep before you brake to catch it. This 8-week protocol removes that ceiling with IMU load data.
