The lab, miniaturised.
Industry-leading velocity accuracy, anywhere you train
Velocity is the most honest signal in strength training.
Velocity-Based Training (VBT) uses the speed of the bar to prescribe load, regulate effort and quantify intent. Every weight has a characteristic velocity. Measure it, and you know exactly how heavy a session truly is for that athlete, today.
Instead of training off a percentage of a 1RM tested weeks ago, VBT lets you target a velocity zone. The load adjusts to the human. Heavy days stay heavy. Speed days stay fast. Junk volume disappears.
ORCA was built end-to-end around this idea. From the sensor on the bar to the report on the coach's screen.
Four advantages, every session.
Velocity targets adjust load on the fly. No more grinding a prescribed weight your body isn't ready for.
Stop sets at a velocity-loss threshold. Stay in the intended adaptation zone instead of bleeding into junk volume.
Athletes push harder when they see the number. Every rep becomes a measurable attempt to beat the last one.
Track power output, mean velocity and load-velocity profiles. Not just the kilos on the bar.
One sensor.Every lift.Every training mode.
Auto-detects sets and reps. Streams velocity, power, and bar path to your phone with zero perceptible latency. Train, test, and coach from the same hardware, with software tuned to the way you work.
The advantage is clear.
Accuracy is what makes VBT worth doing at all. If your velocity number drifts from rep to rep or from set to set, every prescription downstream is guesswork. This is the row that separates real training data from a rough estimate.
Setup time decides whether VBT actually happens on the gym floor or stays a nice idea in a spreadsheet. If mounting takes five minutes between sets, athletes will quietly stop using it, and the data stops being useful.
Real programs are not just back squat and bench. Cable work, jumps, sled pushes and dumbbell variations all deserve the same quality of data. A device that only measures a straight vertical bar path locks you out of most of your programming.
Longitudinal data is only useful if every session was measured the same way. Environmental drift, camera angle changes, or a cable that was clipped an inch off will silently poison months of tracking without ever throwing an error.
The best sensor is the one that follows the athlete. Travel, satellite gyms, home setups, competition warm-ups. If measuring velocity requires a full case and a dedicated rack, most of an athlete's real training goes unmeasured.
High-performance athletes dedicate their lives to perfecting every detail and metric of their training. The measuring equipment they trust should reflect that same standard. If your data is unusable, why buy it in the first place?
