Level up your workouts with velocity based training
Practical velocity based training education (for free!)
Velocity based training (VBT) is a powerful tool that helps you optimize your strength training by measuring the speed of your lifts. By tracking metrics like mean velocity, range of motion, and eccentric tempo, you can make data-driven decisions to improve your performance and minimize fatigue.
At VBTcoach, we provide practical, science-based resources to help you implement VBT in your training. Whether you're looking to lift heavier, move faster, or increase your power output, our guides and tools will help you achieve your goals.
Not sure where to get started? the free VBT video course is a great starting place for a intro to the fundamentals.

VBT Coach has a range of free online strength calculators designed to assist you in your strength programming. These digital and mobile-friendly tools can help you estimate your one-rep max (1RM), calculate the ideal weights and reps for your warmup sets, generate a load-velocity profiles, and convert between RPE, RIR and velocity.
Whether you're an experienced lifter or new to strength training, these tools can provide valuable insights to help you track your progress and optimise your workouts.
The calculators are based on scientifically validated formulas and are available to use online without the need for sign-up or registration.
