OPT Model – Phase 5: What You Need to Know

On to Phase 5.

In this episode of the “Master Instructor Roundtable,” hosts Marty Miller, and Wendy Batts, detail Phase 5 of the NASM OPT Model and what makes this phase so special when implementing the approach with your clients and athletes.

Program design seems complicated, however, if you use the Model and get to know your client, it may not be as hard as you think. We will discuss when to progress to this phase and how to program power specific supersets safely for all populations. We will also provide an example program that utilizes this phase of training.
