Bands and Chains Wreck Your VBT Velocity Readings: How to Fix It
Add bands or chains and your velocity zones lie. See why accommodating resistance skews VBT readings, and how to test and prescribe around it.
How Tempo-Prescribed Reps Distort Your Velocity Zones and How to Fix the Reading
A 3-1-1 squat reads 0.29 m/s at 80% 1RM, right in the 90-100% zone. Learn why paused and slow-eccentric tempos distort velocity zones, and how to re-profile.
Overhead Press Velocity Zones by Training Goal: A Data-Backed Framework
Overhead press velocity zones differ from the bench press. See all five ranges from 0.19 to 1.3 m/s and how strict, push, and landmine presses compare.
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.
Why Female Athletes Need Different VBT Protocols: 800Hz IMU Sex-Specific Velocity Research
Load-velocity profiles aren't interchangeable between sexes. 800Hz IMU data shows where female athletes diverge, plus how the cycle shifts velocity zones.
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 Threshold Cycling Explained: How to Rotate Velocity Zones Across a 12-Week Block
Training the same velocity zone for months stalls progress. Rotate strength, power, and speed thresholds on a 4-week cycle validated with 800Hz IMU data.
How to Set Your Personal Velocity Zones with 800Hz IMU Data
Generic velocity tables ignore your actual strength curve. Build strength, power, and speed zones from your own 800Hz IMU numbers in just a few sessions.
Deadlift Velocity Zones Explained: A Science-Based Framework Using 800Hz IMU Data
Deadlift minimum velocity threshold is not squat's. See all five zones from 0.15 to 0.75 m/s, measured with an 800Hz IMU, and how to program each one.
