Version 5.9 - New metrics
What's new 🚨
New Performance Metrics
Eccentric power measures how aggressively you apply braking effort to decelerate the bar (perfect for drop catches), and time to peak velocity for tracking rate of force development on explosive movements.
Learn more about all available metrics at www.metric.coach/articles/metrics to see how these new tools can elevate your training analysis.
Expanded Real-time Feedback Options
Real-time feedback has been expanded to include a much wider range of metric options. You can choose from mean, peak, and propulsive velocity, plus for the first time power metrics including eccentric, mean, peak, and propulsive values for your audible in-set feedback. Configure your preferred metrics and feedback style in the feedback settings to get instant guidance that matches your training goals.
