Velocity targets allow you to prescribe training intensity using bar speed instead of (or alongside) load. In the Program Builder, you can assign a velocity target to each set individually, giving you precise control over intent (power, strength, fatigue management, etc.).
Add a Velocity Target to a Set
Open your program in Programs
Navigate to the week, day, and session you want to edit
Expand the exercise to view individual sets
In the Vel. target column, click Select
Choose one of the available options:
Available Target Types
None
No velocity prescription for this set
Custom
Create a fully custom velocity zone or drop-off target (see below)
Predefined Velocity Zones
Light Loaded Power
Heavy Loaded Power
General Strength
Maximal Strength
These zones correspond to typical mean velocity ranges for each training intent.
Create a Custom Velocity Target (Zone)
Choose Custom → Zone when you want to prescribe a specific velocity band.
Select Mean or Peak velocity
Ensure Zone is selected
Enter your Target Min and Target Max (m/s)
Click Add to set
Use zones when you want athletes to maintain movement within a defined speed range.
Create a Custom Velocity Target (Drop-Off)
Choose Custom → Drop-Off to control fatigue within a set.
Select Mean or Peak velocity
Choose Drop-Off
Select a drop-off percentage (e.g., 5-50%)
Choose what it is based on:
Best Rep
First Rep
Click Add to set
Drop-off targets automatically stop the set once velocity decreases beyond your chosen threshold.
How the Target Appears in the Program
Once applied, the velocity target will appear beside the set in the Vel. target column, clearly indicating the prescription for that set.
You can edit or remove the target at any time by clicking the field again.
Note: Each set can have the same targets or a different target if required.
Note: The Output Sensor must be enabled for velocity targets to be tracked and enforced.
Important: Edits made in the Program Builder do not update workouts already scheduled on athlete calendars.
