I'm an S&C coach tweeting about velocity based training (VBT).

Big focus on making it easier and more relevant for real-world coaches and athletes

Why do I use VBT in my practice? Due it’s flexible and extensive nature. I believe we can break down S&C provision in to six key categories, to which there is a VBT application for each #vbt #sandc #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining

Flexible Programming? Maximal daily strength is variable, impacted by many factors (e.g., nutrition, sleep, travel, fixture congestion etc.). Coaches need tools (e.g., VBT, RIR, APRE) to account for these alterations to optimise adaptation and physical development

Session Mode in Metric VBT v2.0 is a game-changer for Strength & Conditioning. Now you can record multiple sets in a row, allowing you to plan and execute training sessions more efficiently. This feature brings your training to a new level of organisation and efficiency

Profiling turns every workout into a test. This dynamic approach eliminates the need for testing and much of the uncertainty of training. Profiles visually show strengths and weaknesses in an exercise. Use that to autoregulate, motivate or track performance over time.

Velocity can be used two ways in training. As an OUTPUT measure of readiness. This indicates fatigue and arousal levels during or after the session. As an INPUT to autoregulate training stress. Use velocity to modulate and control other outputs (load, reps, etc) pre-emptively.

Readiness and autoregulation are the same thing just in different tense. Readiness is past status, residual fatigue, motivation, sleep, etc. Autoregulation is readiness in the present/future. This attempts to adjust training taking into account the readiness as it stands.

I’ve just launched a new velocity tracking course for coaches and athletes over on the vbtcoach website, you can find it through the link in my bio. Its completely free, no email sign up or registration required, and you get immediate access to the video, slides and references.

Think of VBT profiling as a progress report rather than a grade. There's no perfect profile. The goal? To push power and velocity profiles up & out, indicating increased strength and power levels. Every profile change is a step towards improvement!

Here is information and general principles for #VBT (m/s can be made more specific with Athlete’s ht, arm length, torso length,etc) It’s important to remember VBT can also be used to measure more accurately what you are already doing…

70 million sign ups just 24 hours after launch. I spent time studying why this app became the fastest growing consumer app ever. Here's what I found šŸ‘‡

Training to genuine failure is a potent stimulus. More than once a week is probably too often, less than once a year is too little. Plenty of grey area for experimentation in between
