#077 - Why the Beyond Power VOLTRA1 Is My Go-To Tool for Strength, Rehab, and Travel Training | Cardio Chats
In this Cardio Chats episode, I share why the Beyond Power VOLTRA1 is my go-to for strength, rehab, and travel training. From eccentric to isometric modes, custom force curves, and portable versatility, here’s how this tech is changing how I program, individualize, and train anywhere.
In this “Cardio Chats” edition of the Decoding Excellence Show, I’m sharing why I’m so fired up about using the Beyond Power VOLTRA1 strength equipment here in Boulder, Colorado—and why it’s quickly becoming one of my go-to tools for strength, rehab, and performance.
Recorded mid-Zone 2 ruck walk, this raw, unedited “Walk & Talk” dives into exactly how I’ve been leveraging the VOLTRA1. This is raw, unfiltered, and recorded mid-Zone 2 ruck walk—no studio, no edits—just me sharing what’s really happening.
- Advanced rehabilitation & prehabilitation leveraging their specific training modes
- Classical strength training applications for muscle and strength
- Custom force curve assignments for athlete-specific needs
During the Cardio Talk
I comprehensively break down the following topics:
- Why I travel with the VOLTRA1 anywhere we go—especially when hotel gyms lack equipment
- The different training modes and how I use them:Eccentric Mode – overload on the lowering phaseChain Mode – progressive loading through range of motionInverse Chain Mode – reverse strength curvesIsometric Mode – static strength at set joint anglesIsodynamic Mode – blending isometric with dynamic movementDamper Mode – resistance based on movement speed
- How the iOS app allows you to adjust force curves—front-loading, mid-loading, or end-range loading—and why that matters for targeted rehab and performance outcomes
Whether you’re a coach, clinician, or athlete, this episode offers a deep look into how modern, portable strength tech like the VOLTRA1 can open new doors in programming, athlete care, and travel-friendly training solutions.
If you’re serious about training design, athlete monitoring, or building durable and explosive players, this one’s loaded with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
