Training Editor 2.0: Volt’s Most Flexible Programming and Periodization
/Drumroll, please… After a lot of hard work by our team at Volt HQ and countless conversations with #VoltFamily members, we’re excited to announce the launch of the Training Editor 2.0! Our newest release includes more flexibility, capabilities and control when it comes to managing your training. With these powerful tools, coaches are now able to tailor their team’s training like never before. The #VoltFamily has been asking for more flexibility in the Volt Training Editor, and today, we’re thrilled to be delivering on that request.
What’s New
Coaches now have the capability to make strategic, structural changes to their team’s training. More on that below. We’ve also reorganized the training sessions within a given week, implementing a horizontal layout that makes viewing and editing each training plan easier than ever, especially for programs with more than four sessions per week.
Set Details
With a brand new toggle on the top right of the page, you’ll be able to easily view the details of each individual movement. With Set Details toggled on, you’ll see the load your athletes will be lifting (displayed as a percentage of their estimated one-rep maximum, or %e1RM), the number of reps, and the rest your athletes should take between each set. These new insights enable coaches to better prepare for each session, analyze the training in advance, and decide whether to make revisions to the training plan.

More Flexibility Than Ever
With this new release, coaches are able to make sweeping changes to the periodization of each training plan to truly make it their own, even down to each day’s training session (for a refresher on periodization, click here). So, what does modifying your training look like? Inside the Training Editor, you'll be able to change the block scheme and intensity level for your week, or for an individual training day, to adjust the periodization to fit your needs. Changing your block scheme (like "Hypertrophy" or "Power") will change the underlying loading and rep scheme behind each movement in a workout, and changing your intensity level (from 1 to 5) will change the maximum load your athletes will lift in a given set. Bottom line, it gives you full control over your periodization so you can deliver the best training to your athletes.
What Does This All Mean?
Not only are coaches now able to get a “look under the hood” into our training algorithms, they can now modify each week, or day, to their needs. Whether it’s changing the block scheme or intensity after a particularly intense tournament weekend, or implementing a daily undulating periodization scheme, the new Training Editor means you have more control over your programs.
But Wait, There’s More!
We’ve also added some coach-requested features to the Training Editor 2.0, such as the ability to duplicate training sessions. Plus, the features that you love will remain the same, like the ability to create, delete and rearrange new movements and training days, as well as group/ungroup sets of movements and restore Volt’s original planning.
