Vertical Power
Strength Intelligence
StrongmanHas your overhead pressing become a major gap in your game? If yes, then it’s time to close that gap with some serious shoulder power. If not, then you must love overhead pressing as much as I do! Either way, you’re in the right place to perfect the art of pressing big weights into the sky.
The Vertical Power training program is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their ability to move objects from the earth to heavens. It is a 12-week 2-session training program that is entirely focused on pressing weights overhead. With 2 sessions per week, you still have lots of room to work on other aspects of your performance.
Built from the time Dr. Desplenter has spent in the lab and in the trenches engineering stronger shoulders for athletes, and himself. The methods employed in this program have been used by athletes to add 50-100 lbs to their overhead press.
Whether you want a bigger log press, or to hoist the heaviest barbell above your head, the Vertical Power program will guide you towards a pressing power that will have people stopping to watch.
