  • Great Articles on Velocity Based Training

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 18/05/2015

    Recently there is a HUGE interest in Velocity Based Training (VBT), especially with the growth of more affordable measurement devices such as PUSH and growth of wearable devices that uses algorithms (machine learning) to estimate barbell velocities from accelerometer data.

  • Velocity-Based Training: Signal vs. Noise

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 29/04/2015

    This is a R workbook using my older bench press data, in which I want to discuss Signal vs. Noise of Velocity-Based Training (VBT) measurements. This could be used for future reliability studies. The goal is to compare within-individual variations of velocity over load-velocity relationship (noise) with smallest practical velocity difference (in my opinion difference in velocities across nRM,…

  • Interview with Greg Nuckols

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 15/04/2015

    Interview with Greg Nuckols If you are not familiar with Greg Nuckols, shame on you. Greg is fascinating lifter and even better writer that manages to cut through the noise to understand what really makes a performance difference. He managed to reconcile thinking and thinkering (as Taleb would say), both theory and heuristics, both theory and practice of strength training....

  • Reconciling Sheiko and Westside

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 05/02/2015

    Sheiko and Westside are probably the two most know powerlifting training systems that brought numerous champs in the sport. Yet, they tend to differ a lot. The question is who is right?

  • The single most important thing to improve your “gainz” in the gym

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 18/11/2014

    Apparently people love clicking on posts entitled like this one: “The best exercises you are not doing”, “Five ways to beach body”, “Six new diets to make you lean” and so forth. I just hate those dumb articles – but let’s be honest here, I tend to open/click them anyway. These marketing strategies (teasing) seems to work, even if...

  • Banister Impulse~Response model in R [part 3]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 22/10/2014

    Here is the another ‘playbook’, but this time on my own data set during high-frequency project I did in 2013. The data set features estimated 1RM using velocity (which I measure during the lifts). I have also measure Peak Velocity and Mean Power in CMJ w/20kg before lower body workouts. Those four are response variables.

  • Banister Impulse~Response model in R [part 2]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 18/10/2014

    In the previous part I’ve introduced multivariate modeling of impulse and response using Banister model. In this part I will continue with exploration of this model, mainly visualizing reaction predicted by the model on standardize impulse (load) and compare prediction using multiple impulses. I will use same data sets: one by Skiba and one randomly generated as in first…

  • Banister Impulse~Response Model in R [Part 1]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 14/10/2014

    Banister Impulse~Response Model in R Before you start reading this post, please read EXCELLENT paper by Clark and Skiba, especially on the topic of Banister impulse-response model. I decided to write code in R, but also allow for multivariate analysis (where impulse can be multiple variables, as is the case in sports) which can speed the thing...

  • How to Adjust Generic %1RM Table for Higher Reps With Lower Body Lifts?

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 07/09/2014

    It is pretty common to use generic %1RM tables when prescribing weight training, both for upper body and lower body movements. As with everything, there are pros and cons of such an approach...

  • Atlético Madrid Circuit Training

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 31/08/2014

    But being big, successful, rich (and beautiful) by no means is a proof that someone knows what the hell are they doing (or as Nassim Taleb book would say don’t be “Fooled by Randomness”).
