Does velocity-based training increase volume load more than tempo-based training during bench press?

Velocity-Based Training1 min readUpdated June 2, 2026

What the Evidence Shows

We analyzed one assertion on this question and found that velocity-based training may allow for more total weight lifted during bench press compared to tempo-based training. In a single set at 70% of maximum strength, using real-time feedback to maintain faster lifting speed led to about 12% more...
