Vertical

The Vertical movement pattern includes all exercises that move resistance up or down along the vertical plane. Examples include pull-ups, overhead presses, and wall balls. Training this pattern develops overhead stability, spinal alignment, and balanced shoulder mechanics. It complements horizontal pushing and pulling, rounding out a complete upper-body training profile. Vertical training improves functional power for athletic and everyday movements like reaching, lifting, or climbing.
