Velocity Cutoff Method Guide: Practical VBT Intensity Prescription and Threshold Setting

Guessing today's max wastes good days and buries bad ones. The velocity cutoff method uses an 800Hz IMU to auto-adjust load from real-time velocity loss.

Velocity Prescription for Strength: An 800Hz IMU Decision Framework

Guessing today's training weight wrecks your session. An 800Hz IMU estimates daily 1RM and sets velocity-loss thresholds from 10% to 30% by lift.

Velocity-Loss Set Termination: The Most Precise Way to Manage Neural Fatigue

Guessing when a set is done wrecks recovery. Use velocity-loss cutoffs of 10% to 40% by exercise, measured with an 800Hz IMU, to end sets at the exact rep.

How to Recover From a Bad Night of Sleep: A Science-Based Training Protocol

One bad night doesn't mean skip the gym. Use CMJ height and bar velocity readings to decide objectively, then follow the protocol that speeds recovery.

How to Pair VBT with Percentage-Based Training: Best Hybrid Programming

Percentage-based programs ignore how you feel that day. Pair VBT with %1RM using this hybrid framework that corrects readiness and prevents overloading.

How to Set Auto-Regulated Training Caps: Pushing Limits Safely

Fixed percentages don't know how you feel today. Set velocity-loss thresholds and RPE caps that push hard days harder while protecting the rest.

How to Use 1RM Percentages Correctly: Overcoming Traditional Formula Limits

Traditional 1RM percentage tables fail on bad days because daily readiness shifts your functional 1RM by 5-15%. Here is the velocity-based fix.
