How to Coach the Clean Pull Progression: A 7-Stage Roadmap from Beginner to Elite

From hang pull to full clean pull in 7 stages, each with pass/fail criteria checked against 800Hz IMU data — not a coach's eye test for triple extension.

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 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 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.

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.

How to Measure Barbell Power Output in Watts

A percentage-based load can miss your actual power zone. Turn force and velocity data into a wattage number and find where squat, bench, and clean peak.

Optimal Rep Range for Hypertrophy: Why the 8-12 Rule Is Incomplete

The hypertrophy continuum reviewed: why reps from 5 to 30 build muscle equally near failure, what actually caps growth, and how to pick your rep range.
