Percent-based to velocity-based converter

Percent-based to velocity-based converter

“Nothing Is More Practical Than A Good Theory” – Kurt Lewin[1]

In the following video I am explaining how to use Excel converter to convert percent-based programs to velocity-based programs based on lifters load-velocity profile for a given movement.

I am covering some important ‘rules’ and relationships of velocity-based approach to strength training, like load-velocity profiles, minimal-velocity threshold, “reps-in-tank velocity relationship” (not sure if I should patent this one?) – So before watching the following video please refresh your understanding by reading the following posts:
