This Program is designed to increase your overall force output and strength for upper body pressing. It is an 8 week program with 2 workouts a week that can be done by all ages and all skill levels. Each workout will have a four part main movement section where you will alternate between heavy compound movements, plyometric movements, weighted movements focused on moving quickly, and assisted plyometrics. At the end of each workout there will be additional strength work for 2-3 muscle groups. The work outs will take roughly 40-50 min.
