How to Use the MVT (Maximum Velocity Training) Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively use the MVT Calculator, allowing you to tailor your strength training using the Maximum Velocity Training method.

Step 1: Enter Your One Rep Maximum (1RM)

• Locate the 1RM Weight (kg) field. This is the weight you can lift for one repetition at your maximum effort.

• Input your one rep maximum into the field. Ensure the value is a number between 1 and 500 as required by the calculator’s validation standards.

Step 2: Select Your Exercise Type

• Find the Exercise Type dropdown menu. This will list several exercises from which to choose.

• Select the exercise you are working on from the available options: Bench Press, Squat, or Deadlift.

Step 3: Choose Your Target Velocity

• Access the Target Velocity (m/s) dropdown menu. This setting influences the recommended weights and repetitions based on your training goals.

• Select the velocity that aligns with your training focus from the following options: Strength (0.15 m/s), Power (0.3 m/s), Speed-Strength (0.5 m/s), or Speed (0.75 m/s).

Step 4: Review Your Results

• Once all inputs are entered, the calculator will compute and display the results in the following fields:

  • Recommended Weight: The weight you should use, calculated as your 1RM adjusted by the chosen velocity. It is presented in kilograms.
  • Percentage of 1RM: Displays the recommended weight as a percentage of your one rep max, indicating the intensity of the exercise.
  • Recommended Reps: The number of repetitions suggested for the chosen velocity.
  • Recommended Sets: The number of sets advised to match the desired training velocity.

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize the MVT Calculator to optimize your strength training regimen according to your specific goals.
