Thinking about starting project vertical and there is a beginner phase for conditioning and all the reps are high. Should I start there or continue for power with the 5- 8 rep range?

Any lift you can do for 15 reps is such low intensity that it is useless for anything except development of strength endurance. If that is your goal, sure, go ahead. But other then that I would recommend against it.

Thanks for the quick reply! Strength endurance is def not my goal. The goal is always to increase vertical. My thought process was that changing the rep scheme to high reps for a short period would shock my muscles and provide more gains when returning to the lower rep training.
