The bar tracking blog

How accurate can an app be at measuring bar speed? this study compared three commercially available options: Qwik VBT, Metric, and MyLift

A recent validation study was published by Trowell et al. (2024) comparing an early version of the Metric VBT app (v0.6.0) with 3D motion capture.

We're excited to share the results of a recent validation study on Metric VBT, conducted by Antonio Šagovac as part of his Master’s studies at the University of Zagreb.

Estimate your 1RM with Metric VBT. Use velocity based training (VBT) to calculate an e1RM every workout

Is there a perfect speed to lift weights for developing strength? Maybe, but what's probably more important is tracking velocity over time!

More than just lifting light weights fast, Velocity based training (VBT) opens up a world of programming and training possibilities

In 2023, we've taken big strides towards making Metric the most powerful velocity tracking app available

The Metric VBT app now features the ability to enable real-time feedback for even more velocity based training applications in your program.

Real-Time Feedback is now available in the Metric VBT app. Delivering audible context to track performance on every rep

Metric was found to be a valid and reliable velocity tracking solution when compared to gold-standard 3D motion capture.

Whatever your training style a tripod can level up your workout video. Here are the best iPhone tripods for the gym

With the new Trends feature in the Metric VBT application, you will be recovering faster on making strength gains like never before.

It is early days for our VBT technology, but we can confidently say Metric works very well already! An internal study into the accuracy of the Metric beta

VBT can appear daunting at first. Quickly master the basics and begin training smarter with velocity.

Integrating velocity tracking in your training doesn't have to be difficult! Here are five of the most effective ways to use VBT in the gym

Velocity based training devices are no longer essential for getting great bar speed data. It's time for velocity based training to grow and evolve.
