Episode notes
Creating A Free VBT Course With Vitruve
- Matt Casturo collaborated with Vitruve to create a free three-hour VBT course and used Vitruve devices while filming.
- He learned detailed VBT metrics through course creation and applied them to his own training and a small athlete group.
VBT Is A Measurement Tool Not A Training Style
- Velocity based training (VBT) is a tool, not a training method, that measures bar speed to inform decisions.
- Matt Casturo explains VBT functions like a radar gun or stopwatch and can be used across athletes and programming styles.
Always Use Max Intent For Valid VBT Readings
- Ensure maximum intent on every rep so velocity readings reflect true effort even when loads are heavy and bar speed is slow.
- Intent, not absolute speed, validates VBT metrics for heavy lifts like 90%+ of 1RM moving near 0.20 m/s.
