Vertical Performance Training

Coach
David Conlon

This is Density style workout to get a lot of really hard work in a short amount of time. This is perfect for those who want to see real strength gains, but have limited time in the gym.  Each workout should last about 30-45 mins

Each work out structured the same way with 5 sets of the same 3 exercises.

Complex movements (multi joint, like a squat) are done for low reps with heavy loads, then a higher rep (20) exercise, than another set of complex movement at low reps.  That whole set is repeated for up to 5 rounds.
