Velocity-Based 1RM Prediction Accuracy: How Error Varies by Exercise
Squat SEE is 3.9-6.2 kg; deadlift is 8.3-14.5 kg. See the 10-exercise CV% and ICC table, plus the 5-step protocol that keeps error under 4%.
How to Test Power Output in the Bench Press: 800Hz IMU Sensor Protocol for Upper-Body Power
Test bench press power output with an 800Hz IMU sensor. Step-by-step protocol covering mean velocity, peak power, and optimal load identification.
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 Fix Bench Press Elbow Pain: Diagnosis to 800Hz IMU Monitoring
24% of lifters get elbow pain from bench pressing, often from grip width plus wrist flexion together. Match your pain to one of 7 causes, then fix it.
Why the Bench Press Arch Helps: ROM Reduction, Scapular Stability, and Power Transfer Biomechanics
A proper thoracic arch shortens ROM by 12-18% and adds 5-8% to your bench 1RM. Here's the scapular retraction mechanics and IMU bar-speed data behind it.
How To Stop Shoulder Pain From Bench Press: Grip and Form Fixes
Sharp shoulder pain during bench press is rarely just fatigue. See five real causes, grip and bar path corrections, and a 4-week return-to-bench protocol.
How to Break a Bench Press Plateau: An 8-Week +10 kg Plan
Bench press plateau: diagnose your bench press sticking point, pick targeted accessories, and use VBT to add 10 kg to your bench in 8 weeks.
Sheiko #29 and #17: Russian Powerlifting Beginner-Intermediate Complete Analysis
Sheiko #29 and #17 look similar but differ in weekly volume and intensity. See both structures and how to autoregulate with bar velocity instead of RPE.
JM Press: Bench Press Lockout Tricep Specialist Builder
Strengthen bench press lockout with the JM Press developed by JM Blakley at Westside Barbell. Technique cues, loading protocols, and velocity-based.
How to Measure Bench Press Velocity: 1RM Estimation and Fatigue Detection
Bar speed drops before your bench even feels heavy. Use PoinT GO's load-velocity profile and velocity-loss thresholds to estimate 1RM and catch fatigue.
How to Bench Press with Shoulder Pain: Modifications
Shoulder pain doesn't always mean stopping bench press. Diagnose the source, then adjust grip width, bar path, and load with evidence-based modifications.
Bench Press Grip Width and Muscle Activation: EMG Evidence
Which grip width actually fires more chest? EMG data shows wide grip lifts pectoral activation 28% over narrow — match your grip to your training goal.
