Smart Zero improves repetition detection in demanding lifts, while new Apple Watch controls, raw-signal review, and additional VBT metrics give coaches a clearer and more flexible workflow.

Over the past few months, we have been working on three new features: detailed AI summaries of your athletes’ training sessions, synchronization of these summaries

0. For those unfamiliar with Velocity Based Training Velocity Based Training (VBT) consists of monitoring the execution velocity of repetitions performed with maximum intent to

In this new Spleeft update, we have focused on two fundamental aspects: improvements in the user experience regarding execution velocity measurement and an expansion of

Spleeft continues to consolidate its position as the hub for VBT data At Spleeft, we continue to move forward with a very clear idea: to

If strength is your engine size, VO₂ max is the size of your fuel pump. You can bolt on all the power you want in

Overspeed training has a certain mystique. The first time an athlete clips into a towing system or an assisted treadmill and suddenly finds themselves running

You step on the mound, take a breath, and let one rip. The gun flashes a number that’s… fine. Not bad. But not the number

You walk into a powerlifting meet and immediately notice two worlds colliding. One side has lifters in singlets, belts, and sleeves—raw powerlifting warriors grinding out

You rush into the gym, maybe do 30 seconds of light jogging, and jump straight into your main lift. Sound familiar? Most people treat warm up
