Looking to improve your performance in a matter of weeks without all the hassle of finding a full-time trainer? We’ve got just the system for you!
The Optimum Performance Training (OPT) Athlete model is a hybrid system of strength training & conditioning for all levels of athlete. With an emphasis on muscular strength, hypertrophy, coordination, power & speed, the OPT Athlete system is both the ideal program for off-season building & in-season maintenance.
The model is loosely based on the Optimum Performance Training (OPT) Model compiled by the National Academy of Sports Medicine with minor modifications to the intensity & exercise selection recommendations of the original model. In short, the workouts will look different than your typical OPT training program. The program contains five full sessions per week each lasting about 90 minutes.
The program focuses on building optimum performance over a period of 10 weeks or five primary phases. These two & a half months of training will be a grind, but the results will make the discomfort all but worth it.
