How to Run the RAST: Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test Protocol
No cycle ergometer needed. Run six 35m sprints, plug times into one formula, and get anaerobic power and fatigue index data your legs actually produced.
Velocity Loss Thresholds: Hypertrophy vs Power Outcomes
A head-to-head synthesis of 10%, 20%, and 30% velocity loss thresholds — which produces more power, which builds more muscle, and where they overlap.
Tendon Stiffness and Power Development: Research Review
Stiffer tendons transmit force faster, raising rate of force development and reactive strength. See which methods change stiffness, and how to measure it.
How to Train Explosive Hip Extension: An 8-Week Protocol for Bigger Jumps and Faster Pulls
Untrained lifters average 1,800 N/s of hip RFD; elite jumpers exceed 4,500. This 8-week, IMU protocol targets the 20-30% gain behind explosive jumps.
Power Curve Explained: Everything About Force-Velocity Profile With 800Hz IMU
Your force-velocity curve is a training fingerprint unique to you. The physics behind it, how 800Hz IMU sensors map it, and what a flawed curve looks like.
Why Static Stretching Before Lifting Is Bad: Research Proves It
Static stretching before a lift isn't neutral. Behm's meta-analysis found it cuts strength by 5.5% and power by 1.9%; see the VBT-measured velocity drop.
How to Add 10 cm to Your Vertical Jump in 12 Weeks: A Science-Based Program
Adding 10 cm is not luck, it is sequencing: max strength, rate of force development, then reactive strength, over 12 structured weeks.
How to Periodize from Strength to Power: 4-Week Pre-Season Strategy
Carrying max-effort strength into pre-season blunts power output. This 4-week model shifts load with velocity zones so power shows up before season starts.
Cluster Sets for Maximum Power and Strength: Intra-Set Rest Science
Neuromuscular mechanisms of cluster sets, evidence-based rest interval prescriptions, and VBT-guided configuration for strength vs power goals.
Snatch Grip High Pull: Explosive Upper Back and Trap Power
Master the snatch grip high pull for upper back, trap, and rear delt power. Technique cues, velocity benchmarks, programming protocols, and VBT monitoring.
Wingate Anaerobic Power Test: 30-Second All-Out Assessment
A fatigue index above 55% isn't always poor conditioning — it can signal a glycolytic fiber profile. Here's the 30-second protocol and how to read it.
Heavy Sled Push: Overload Training That Improves Sprint Acceleration 33%
Research-backed heavy sled push protocol: optimal load selection, horizontal force mechanics, and 6-week programming for 33% sprint acceleration.
