Prescribing Strength Training for Team Sports – Part 3

In this video, I will discuss Velocity-based Training (VBT). This includes the discussion of the two main VBT selling points:

  • Velocity at %1RM is stable over time and can thus be used to estimate %1RM
  • Velocity at RIR (regardless of load) is stable over time and can thus be used to estimate proximity to failure

I will also discuss why I think that the Velocity Loss is a crap metric and why I think VBT is not a practically feasible solution.

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,…

VBT, Heuristics and Prilepin

In this video I am discussing few ideas regarding velocity based training (VBT): 1) Potential research in velocity based training (VBT) domain (which will most likely become my PhD thesis) regarding the exhaustion-velocity relationship; 2) The flaws of using % Drop in velocity when stopping a given set, as a way (or metric) that ensures the quality of the…

Velocity Based Strength Training Workshop

I knew I was preaching to the choir of experienced coaches, so I wanted to cover practical applications of the VBT as one “novel” way of prescribing and controlling training. I thought live testing would be much more appreciated than fancy graphs and theory, as it would also show the problems of “when the rubber meets the road” issues…
