Load-Velocity Profile for the Overhead Press: Zones and 1RM Estimation

Your overhead press 1RM guess is probably off by 5kg+ because shoulder readiness swings daily. Build a real load-velocity profile with a 6-load protocol.

Deadlift Load-Velocity Profile Guide: 1RM Estimation and Velocity Zones with 800Hz IMU

One lifter used an 800 Hz IMU to build a deadlift load-velocity profile and added 10.7% to their 1RM in 12 weeks. See the protocol and data.

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.
