This is a paper written by yours truly and Eamonn Flanagan last year on the topic of VBT (Velocity Based Training).

Most of the topics were covered and expanded in the series/experimentations: “How to create individualized exercise profile in strength training?“, but this one is written more as a scientific review paper (which it is) and it covers some ready to use formulas in Excel, along with used literature/references.

If you are interested in velocity based strength training, make sure to check out the following posts and follow the hashtag on twitter.

The data is collected using GymAware, the best LPT on the market today.

How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training (Part 1): Testing

When it comes to traditional strength training prescription (a.k.a percent based approach) one uses his latest 1RMs and prescribe 3 to 4, or longer strength training cycle using percentages and reps (e.g. Week1: 5×5 w/80%, Week2: 5×5 w/82.5%, Week3: 5×5 w/85%).

How to Create Individualized Exercise Profile in Strength Training Part 5

What’s the point behind using START and STOP velocities to prescribe strength training instead of using percentages and reps (or rep ranges) and even RPE system? Is the complexity worth it? What do we gain?

How to create individualized exercise profile in strength training? Part 2: Load/Velocity Profile

I am repeating the data from the previous part before I start with the analysis and visualization. As you can see my 1RM in bench press with ~2-sec pause is 117.5kg and Ivan’s is 140kg.

Great Articles on Velocity Based Training

Recently there is a HUGE interest in Velocity Based Training (VBT), especially with the growth of more affordable measurement devices such as PUSH and growth of wearable devices that uses algorithms (machine learning) to estimate barbell velocities from accelerometer data.
