The velocity based training is now real time. Meaning each rep can be tailored. Lift too fast add weight, lift too slow decrease weight. Progressive overload not just by completion of form but also by speed which translates to power.


I read another article earlier in the season about it but dont remember where to give a link.

They can also measure exhaustion and injury. If a player is way off of their average velocity on lifts it can alert them to something wrong in real time. Often players will lie about pain and lift through injury, this gives trainers/coaches empirical evidence in real time they aren't 100%.

It's pretty damn cool.
