The Vertimax is a useful tool to make our Athlete's more explosive.

The basketball player who wants to jump higher, the adult who wants to do legs but "not lift a lot of weight" or in this case, Dean Duchak who was preparing for his senior football season at Georgetown University.

We did a "Power Hour" workout with the Vertimax to not only increase Dean's power output, but also utilize the Vertimax as a means of Conditioning.

We can alter the resistance of the chords to change the intensity as well as what muscles have to work. This picture displays Dean utilizing the Vertimax "to the Max." He will be resisted by not only his waist, but his arms have tension due to the wrist straps as well as his hip complex.

More is not always better in this case, because of the amount of load (resistance), we will ask for a stronger output(movement) from the athlete with less volume (i.e. reps)
