It’s a rare day in the fitness world when something comes along that’s truly new and effective. It’s usually just a worthless fad, a gimmick or a repackaged version of something that’s been around for years…
…This time is different. Enter velocity based training (VBT).
The concept of velocity based training itself has been around for years. However, it involves measuring bar speed and that requires specialized equipment. Until just recently, this equipment cost thousands of dollars and took up a lot of space. Accordingly, it has only been accessible to high level athletes with access to well equipped training facilities.
A lot has changed with technology in just the last half-decade. Now the average lifter has access to the technology needed to do velocity based training. People are quickly adopting the technology and learning how to use it in their workouts.
Most importantly, they are seeing results. That includes me. This is why I’m so excited to let you know about velocity based training — Today, I’ll teach all you need to know about it:
