Understanding Velocity-Based Training as a Tool

Velocity-based training is a tool used to measure the speed of a barbell, not a specific training method. It can be beneficial for power lifters, weight lifters, or any athlete looking to build strength. To get accurate measurements, maximum intent behind each lift is crucial, regardless of the speed of the movement. Velocity-based training provides insight into an athlete's strength deficits and helps tailor training programs based on individual needs.
