Validated by Peer-Reviewed University Research

8-week NCAA Football Study (30 athletes)

Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trial examining the effects of an eight-week training regimen using The Launch Pad® versus a traditional flat bench on upper-body strength and performance in college football players.

Over the 8-week training period, athletes training on The Launch Pad® demonstrated significantly greater improvements across all major performance metrics compared to the flat bench (control) group.

Max Strength (1-RM Bench Press): The Launch Pad® Group doubled the strength gains of the Control Group, improving by +42.7 lb compared to +20.1 lb.
Muscular Endurance (NFL 225-lb Rep Test): The Launch Pad® Group achieved a 75% greater increase in reps, adding +7 reps versus +4 reps in the Control Group.
Power (Seated Medicine Ball Throw): The Launch Pad® Group showed a 35% greater improvement, with an increase of +8.86 ft compared to the Control Group's +6.56 ft.

4-week Study (42 Trained Males)

Peer reviewed randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of The Launch Pad® to improve 1-RM bench press strength during a 1-month eccentrically overloaded bench press regimen.

Over just 4 weeks, participants training on The Launch Pad® increased their bench press strength by 40.6 lb, compared to 24.5 lb in the Control Group, a 16.1 lb advantage, representing a 66% greater strength gain with identical programming.

66% greater 1-RM gains: +40.6 lb vs. +24.5 lb after just four weeks.
Percent Improvement: 18.9% vs 11.3% — nearly double the strength adaptation.
Improved scapular mechanics, joint safety, ROM, and neuromuscular efficiency.
