To get a velocity value you have to track range of motion. Range of motion is more than just an afterthought, it can be a vital piece of data to optimise your training.
I went down to Melbourne Strength Culture to chat with Charlie about the importance of ROM, how to improve it and how it impacts the big three lifts of the squat, the bench, and the dead. Thanks, Charlie for his time and insights!

Ripper video Jacob, so interesting!

[@vbtcoach]

Thanks Conor. I think Charlie did most of the heavy lifting on this one though ;)

[@IwanDierckx]

Thanks, very interesting and I love the collar with strength culture. May I ask which device that you use to give you ROM ?

[@vbtcoach]

Hi Iwan, I use a linear positional transducer. As of 2021 its the most reliable option on the market (camera systems are good too, but just so darn expensive!

[@IwanDierckx]

@@vbtcoach Thanks. I think it might be very interesting to combine it with a device that also tracks bar path and see how that impacts ROM and lifting efficiency

[@vbtcoach]

@@IwanDierckx Many of these devices also track or measure bar path as part of the velocity tracking.
Problem is that bar path is a visual thing, to my knowledge no one has created a number or metric for bar path specifically

This is top-notch content. As someone who has aspirations to get into powerlifting, this video gives me a lot of clarity. And what was the device you used for measuring the velocity? And is there any open-source alternative so that I myself can 3D print it and get it sourced.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Harris, glad to be of assistance!
I actually have helped co-found a new technology for measuring lifts. It's called Metric VBT and uses computer vision on your phone, no hardware is required. We are in beta right now, check it out here: www.metric.coach

@@vbtcoach Thank you.
