Velocity-based training

Velocity-based training (VBT) is a method that measures how quickly you lift weights. By tracking the speed of each movement, athletes can determine if they're training effectively or pushing too hard. If the barbell slows down too much, it suggests fatigue or not enough effort; if it moves too fast, they might need more challenge. This approach helps optimize training intensity, prevent overtraining, and improve performance by adjusting weights based on real-time feedback about movement speed. Essentially, VBT uses speed as a guide to make workouts more precise and tailored to individual readiness.
