In Rachel's One Month to Muscles program the power exercises are medicine ball slam and medicine ball side toss.
In her Sleek Strong program she also uses kettlebell or dumbbell swings.

Reviving Old Thread...
I'm reviving this thread b/c I thought I remembered seeing a question about high pulls when I did some research on D2S prior to starting the program. I'm now on the last week of Phase 1 (Week 4). Ever since I started the program, I have experienced some nagging discomfort in my right shoulder--it's actually like a knot on the back of my shoulder blade (on the inner part, closer to the spine), but I also have some feelings of discomfort along the right collarbone as well.
Up until now, I haven't been able to connect the problem with a specific exercise, but maybe it's related to the high pulls? Doing those two-handed, with heavy weights, and coming on to the toes definitely feels a bit odd to me (even though I'm fine with doing one-arm kettlebell high pulls). The high pulls only appear in Strength Workout #1 of Phase 1, and I only have one time left to do that one (tomorrow), but maybe I will try subbing the kettlebell high pulls instead. I do think I am going to need to be willing to do more substitutions if I want to continue with this program--I haven't liked most of the core work, and all of the moves on the hands are starting to really bother my wrists.
