“Novel” Metric to Compare Athletes Using Their Load-Velocity Curve

It is always questionable what could be the best way to compare athlete across time when it comes to load-velocity curve. We need to take care of their 1RM and BW.

The question is simple: “What could be used to compare athletes across time and among themselves, taking into account the full load-velocity continuum, but taking into account their strength levels and body weight?”. You can find my answer in the video below and in the Excel workbook attached.

This could potentially be used in the “gamification” of the training using leader boards and what have you. I am pretty sure it will give you some food for thought.

Understanding Force-Velocity Curve Using Simple Mechanical Model

Few weeks back, I had an idea to test the hypothesis that Load-Velocity emerges regardless of the intrinsic force-velocity profile of the muscle. So, I have decided to test my hypothesis by using very simple mechanical model and simulation.

How to Adjust Generic %1RM Table for Higher Reps With Lower Body Lifts?

It is pretty common to use generic %1RM tables when prescribing weight training, both for upper body and lower body movements. As with everything, there are pros and cons of such an approach…

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,…
