Looking to use velocity and other metrics in your training?
Then you should check out Metric VBT the revolutionary new VBTÂ application I am helping to build.
Metric aims to make velocity tracking an easy and seamless experience, delivering accurate data and feedback to enhance strength and power gains without the need for complicated and expensive equipment or a PhD in data science.
Metric VBT is pretty new and still in development, but it's free to download and use, so test it out and let me know what you think!
Metric is available for free on iPhone via the App Store.
An online textbook and course, the VBTÂ Field Guide is the ultimate resource for coaches and athletes looking to maximise their training outcomes by incorporating velocity based training principles and tactics.
From the fundamental principles of VBT, through to simple and advanced practical applications, this field guide covers everything you need to get started and ultimately master velocity based training.
Complete with extensive references, step-by-step practicals and plenty of real-world examples, this guide is perfect for strength athletes, s&c coaches, or anyone looking to get more out of their training with velocity.

Hi, I'm Jacob Tober and I am the Head of Research and Education at Metric VBT, a revolutionary Velocity Based Training (VBT) app. Metric VBTÂ is an app I helped design and validate.
When IÂ started coaching with VBT most of the information on training with velocity was incredibly complex. I quickly became frustrated that many beginners (like me) were discouraged from using the incredible techniques available with VBT. This website is my attempt to make VBT more useful and easier to implement!
I am also an ESSA accredited Sports scientist and ASCA level 2 certified S&C coach with over 10 years of coaching experience at the elite level and in the private sector. My previous rol has been as a strength and conditioning coach and internship delivery at Core Advantage Athletic Development from 2013 - 2020.
Whether you are new to Velocity Based Training or a long-time VBT practitioner there is plenty for you in this website. Check out my blog, browse the podcast library, or check out the VBTÂ Field Guide, my online textbook and online course.
