The Difference Between the VertiMax V8 EX and V8

Both the V8 and V8 EX are great products for developing speed, power and vertical jump. It is important to note that any drill you can perform on the V8 EX, you can also perform on the V8. However, when compared to the V8, the V8 EX platform utilizes much longer resistance bands in its resistance modules to provide an enhanced off platform training experience which allows athletes to train 20 to 25 yards off platform vs the 8-10 yard off platform capability of the V8.
The primary benefits of the longer off platform training distance offered by the V8 EX are three-fold.
First, the longer training distance allows athletes to accelerate to higher resisted training velocities. Resistance training at higher velocities is the most effective way to stimulate neurology and muscular development to improve strength and power output at higher velocities, which leads to increased top end speed and high velocity performance gains.
Secondly, the increased training distance allows more sequential or repetitive reps to be completed for any training movement on the horizontal plane. More sequential repetitions of a desired training movement will enhance the overall efficiency of the training response associated with the drill.
Thirdly, the ability to perform resisted athletic movements for up to 25 yards allows athletes to simulate and resist complex athletic movements in the open field associated with developing pursuit and elusive abilities. For instance, a linebacker connected to the V8 EX can pursue a tailback out of the back field at full speed all the way to the sideline and work against resistance every step of the way without losing stability. Sprinters can load themselves exploding out of the blocks to easily facilitate very specific strength and power gains to radically improve speed during the acceleration phase of a sprint. The longer bands in the V8 EX’s topside resistance modules enabling the increased off platform training distance are easily identified when compared to the V8’s power modules as shown below Note how many more times the bands traverse the topside of the platform on the V8 EX vs the V8.
