VBT, Heuristics and Prilepin

In the video below I am discussing few ideas regarding velocity based training (VBT):

potential research in velocity based training (VBT) domain (which will most likely become my PhD thesis) regarding the exhaustion-velocity relationship
the flaws of using % Drop in velocity when stopping a given set, as a way (or metric) that ensures the quality of the set (or level of exhaustion reached)
the idea that simple rules (or heuristics) can beat complex analytics using LPT (linear position transducers) devices, and that you should not be sad because you don’t own one (at least when it comes to ensuring quality reps)

If you are interested in VBT topics, as well as the connection to Prilepin table, this is a must watch video!

VBT Survey

My friend and colleague Ivan Jukic are conducting a survey in which he is looking at the perceived barriers to implementing velocity-based resistance training methodology, and common practices among coaches utilizing velocity-based resistance training.

UPDATE: Percent-based to velocity-based converter 2.0

I have updated Percent-based to velocity-based converter to include conversion from velocity-based to percent-based approach using load-velocity profile and %1RM-max reps profile. This is important since it allows coaches to get easier ‘grip’ on velocity-based approach and how it could be used and converted.Here is the screen shot

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.

Velocity-Based Training: Signal vs. Noise

This is a R workbook using my older bench press data, in which I want to discuss Signal vs. Noise of Velocity-Based Training (VBT) measurements. This could be used for future reliability studies. The goal is to compare within-individual variations of velocity over load-velocity relationship (noise) with smallest practical velocity difference (in my opinion difference in velocities across nRM,…
