Overhead Press Velocity Zones by Training Goal: A Data-Backed Framework

Overhead press velocity zones differ from the bench press. See all five ranges from 0.19 to 1.3 m/s and how strict, push, and landmine presses compare.

How to Set Velocity Targets for Hypertrophy Blocks

Wrong velocity targets stall hypertrophy blocks fast. Use these load zones, velocity-loss thresholds, per-exercise cutoffs, and weekly progression instead.

Velocity Loss vs RPE for Autoregulation: Which Method Works Best for Your Training?

RPE relies on feel; velocity loss relies on a number. Compare both methods for fatigue control, accuracy, and real-world programming trade-offs.

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.

Why You Must Monitor Load-Velocity Every Session - The Science of Daily Variability and Autoregul...

Your 1RM can swing 18% day to day. Load-velocity monitoring every session catches that shift before autoregulation math goes wrong. Here's the proof.
