Velocity Loss Thresholds by Goal: How Much % for Strength, Power, and Size
Velocity loss threshold by goal isn't one flat number. Get the exact VL% cutoffs for max strength, power, and hypertrophy, plus load and phase adjustments.
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 Build a Velocity Zone Cheat Sheet for Every Lift
Stop guessing your training zones from memory. Collect load-velocity data, derive four personal bands, set velocity-loss caps, update every 4-8 weeks.
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-Based Training for Adolescent Athletes: Safety Evidence Review
The safety evidence on VBT with adolescents: how it caps fatigue without 1RM testing, why peak height velocity changes guidance, and where gaps remain.
How to Use Velocity Loss Thresholds in a Power Training Block
Grinding out extra reps that kill your power output? Use velocity loss thresholds to autoregulate volume and intensity for peak athletic performance.
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.
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.
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.
VBT vs RPE: Which Is More Accurate? A Practical Field Guide
We tested velocity-based training against RPE on precision, reliability, and cost. See the load, tempo, and progression cues each method gets wrong.
