Free velocity-based training resources.
Two resources, yours for free. The Fundamentals of Velocity-Based Training is a free PDF guide, a solid starting point for lifters and coaches at any level. The Velocity Logbook is a free spreadsheet that does the hard maths for you, calculating your e1RM, weekly volume, and performance trends over time from every set you log.

The Fundamentals of Velocity-Based Training
A free PDF that takes you from collecting bar-speed data to actually applying it in your training. It walks through the four highest-leverage uses for barbell tracking, with step-by-step guidance you can follow from your next session.
- Principles of intent and velocity in the weightroom
- How to build a load–velocity profile and read a live estimated 1RM (e1RM) from it to guide load selection
- Why mean velocity is the one number you actually need when starting out
- How to use real-time feedback and velocity PRs, and track daily readiness trends
- A high-leverage dynamic velocity-target programming strategy
- A week-by-week rollout plan to integrate velocity tracking into your existing program
The VBT Logbook
A Google Sheets training tool. Enter your exercise, load, reps, and velocity per set; the sheet handles e1RM, weekly volume, record tracking, readiness trends and more. Built for the lifter who wants to organise their velocity data into one place.
- e1RM updates as you log, across the lifts that matter
- Weekly volume by lift, automatically
- Velocity readiness trends over time to monitor recovery
- Built in Google Sheets. Your data, your file, no account on a third party
- A great companion to the Metric barbell tracking app
