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 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…
