- Lifters and coaches using velocity-based barbell training
- Worth noticing
- It uses a standard 450 mm Olympic plate as the visual scale for converting image movement into distance and velocity.
Field notes
The described workflow uses plate detection and the standard plate diameter to turn pixels into a physical scale, then tracks a lift across its repetitions. The page also advertises front- and back-angle tracking, live rep counting, and audio cues in Pro; the extract does not include independent accuracy testing.
