How long is the rope?
The rope of OVR Velocity is approximately 10 feet or 3 meters. Do not fully extend the rope.
Is OVR Velocity accurate?
OVR Velocity was included in an independent study where it was validated for accuracy against the "gold standard" in VBT. It has also been put head to head with other VBT devices with reliable results. You can also trust that unit to unit the reading
How many reps can OVR Velocity record?
The device will continuously record reps, and reset its data if 100+ reps are recorded.
How does it attach to the ground?
The unit has four magnets on the bottom of the device to fasten to any small weight plate or other metal surfaces.
What is the minimum range of motion?
The minimum ROM can be configured on the device between 6" - 36". To change this, follow the steps below:. This setting will be saved on the device after turning on / off.
What metrics does OVR Velocity measure?
OVR Velocity gives you 7 metrics for each and every rep!
Where do I place the device?
To ensure results are accurate, place the device directly below where you will be performing reps. For non-vertical movements, ensure the device is in line with the range of motion. Ex. Don't place the device under the racked position of a lift, as t
Does the device have metric units?
Yes, all devices have imperial and metric readings. Navigate to the device settings to change the units!. In the app, go to your profile tab to choose your preferred units.
How do I customize the screen?
To customize which metrics are shown on the device display:
What is the devices sampling rate?
The device samples at 100Hz (once every 0.01s) to ensure a high level of accuracy.
Does it need to be reset in between athletes or exercises?
No – there is no resetting needed when interchanging exercises or athletes. The device will record any concentric motion of any exercise, with no calibration needed.
Should I use average or peak velocity?
Average velocity is best for strength-focused lifts, as it measures overall performance during the movement. Peak velocity is ideal for explosive movements, where the focus is on the fastest point of the lift.
Can I demo the product?
We don’t offer demos, but every purchase comes with a 100% money-back guarantee for U.S. orders. You can test the product risk-free for 60 days.
How does the rest timer work?
The rest timer will reset after every rep, giving you your current rest time to the second. When on, it will appear at the top of the device display. You can turn the timer on or off in the device settings.
What do the buttons do?
Left Button: Previous rep. Right Button: Next rep. Both Buttons (Short Press): Reset data. Both Buttons (Long Press): Device Settings. Left Button (Settings): Move Selector. Right Button (Settings): Select
What makes this VBT device different?
As athletes and coaches ourselves, we had the following goals for our VBT device:. Other options would require app setup to get effective data, or show you excessive metrics, making it confusing what to focus on. They would even be difficult to contr
Device is measuring power cleans as two reps
If you are doing power cleans with OVR Velocity, we recommend adjusting the minimum ROM to filter out the second concentric motion. For instance, if this was set to 18", the device will only record motions over 18".
Does the inputted weight affect accuracy?
No, the weight inputted will only affect the power output reading. All velocity readings will not be affected by the weight. If you aren't worried about power readings, you do not need to adjust the weight on the device when changing weights.
Where do I start with VBT?
We created a VBT starter guide to understand the general concepts and get started! Click the link below to check out the free PDF. VBT Starter Guide
What are the benefits of VBT?
Velocity Based Training (VBT) has many core benefits:. Track Progress. Track progress through bar velocity. It can be difficult to see real progress with typical sets and reps without max intent. Compare your bar speeds from week to week to see small
What settings can I change?
Customize what data is shown on the main screen. Choose between average and peak velocity, average and peak power, time to peak velocity, and elastic acceleration index. Use this to change the weight on the device. This can also easily be done throug
