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!

For those interested in more information, please check all VBT related content at Complementary Training.

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.

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

So you can predict the future… But can you change it?

I also love to call this problem “Terminator Problem”, since it is more understandable to coaches, since most of them have seen Terminator movies. The issue is, once we are able to “predict” the future (for example estimating injury likelihood in the next 7 days), can we actually change it?
