Wearable Tracks Bar Velocity
The Fort, a new wearable from ex-Tesla engineers, tracks bar velocity for weightlifters, giving real-time feedback [https://wired.com/story/fort-strength-training-wearable-launch].
The Fort aims to help weightlifters optimize their training by providing data-driven insights into their performance. It measures bar speed, power, and other metrics to help users understand how to improve their technique and maximize results. The device was created by engineers who previously worked at Tesla and aims to bring a data-driven approach to weightlifting, similar to what wearables have done for other sports. The Fort system includes a mobile app that provides real-time feedback and tracks progress over time. This allows users to monitor their performance, identify areas for improvement, and adjust their training accordingly.
