The NASM OPT model is a systematic approach to training, ideal for athletes, for example, grapplers and wrestlers needing explosive power, pulling strength, and grip endurance. The following phases of the OPT Model are critical when training grapplers and wrestlers: Phase 1: Stabilization Endurance Goal: Improve core stability and muscular endurance. Phase 2: Strength Endurance Goal: Increase strength and muscular endurance. Phase 4: Maximal Strength Goal: Maximize strength output. Phase 5: Power Goal: Develop explosive strength for performance. Additional Components for a comprehensive program: > Cardiovascular Training: Incorporate interval sprints, agility drills, and sport-specific conditioning. > Mobility Work: Include dynamic stretching before workouts and static stretching or foam rolling post-workout. > Recovery Protocols: Focus on soft tissue recovery, proper nutrition, hydration, and sleep. Key Exercises: Plank with One-Arm Row: > Maintain a neutral spine Kneeling Hip Thrust with Kettlebell Bicep Curl: > Drive through the hips to increase glute activation Kettlebell Hammer Curls Holds: > Start with a weight you can isometrically hold for a minimum of 10 seconds Hexagon Dumbbell Curls: > Use appropriate size dumbbells you can grip and perform a minimum of 8-12 reps Plyometric Push-Ups: > Ensure the core is engaged both on the concentric and eccentric contractions Mountain Climbers: > Maintain a neutral spine / perform for time or repetitions Bent Over Alternating Kettlebell Rows: > Maintain a neutral spine. > Fully extend each arm on the eccentric contraction > Focus on engaging the rhomboids during the concentric contraction Save this and share with your fitness community, especially wrestlers!
