NASM OPT MODEL KEY CONCEPTS YOU NEED TO KNOW | ACT7VE 

mind blowing how you broke this down. had the book for 2 years and every time I read the material it was hard to understand. thank you

Passed my SUF-CPT last month. It is THE best education I have gotten in this industry. I resent all of the NASM minded employers who think I NEED a NASM cert. They have been bought.

I am so glad you have your own channel. Strictly information. Good work

Wow the way you explain it seems a lot simpler and easier to remember than reading it off the book! Thank you!! 😃

THANK YOU for explaining this clearly, quickly and without preamble.

This makes everything make so much more sense!!

This video is super helpful!!! Thank you for explaining this concept so well.

Thank you for breaking it down! Definitely needed this

Awesome! Love that you gave exercise examples.

You got a lot of good videos but this is one of the best. Straight to the point and you explained things like XXXX. I never knew what that meant. Great teaching. Thanks!

Thank you for explaining with examples! it really helped me understand a lot more!!

Bless your soul!

IM SO GLAD I CAME ACROSS UR CHANNEL!!! I’m studying to take my exam and I’m really nervous but you’ve makes me feel better, THANK YOUUUU😩❤️❤️

Very helpful and succinct. Thank you!

Thank you! So helpful.

Would love to help you guys spread to other countries!

Thank you so much!

I’ve watched all your videos for the NASM. I’m now going back and writing them on index cards. And I definitely want to intern but of course I’ll go down that course when I pass this February! 💛

I really appreciate you breaking this down! I think it would’ve helpful for visual learners to maybe list the breakdown of each phase on the screen (reps sets etc) Otherwise this is fantastic !!!

Thank you for this video! 💖 Your video is actually the 1st video I watched to get introduced to the OPT model. Now I’m trying to read the tables on each of the phases of the OPT model (starting on p. 699, 7th edition), but I’m getting very confused about how to interpret some of the ‘Acute Variables’. As I was trying to read the tables on each of the OPT model phases, these are the questions that came up: *1)* When is the rest period allowed? Is it after performing each set of a single exercise? Is it after performing all sets for a single exercise? Or is it after completing a single circuit of exercises? *2)* If an exercise only has 1 set, which is the case with the cardio & stretching exercises, when is the rest period applicable then? *3)* Most exercises need to be done for multiple sets (e.g., 2-4 sets). How are the sets performed? Are they performed one after the other, or should the person move through all of the different exercises before they can do another set of a specific exercise? *4)* On Phase 1 (Stabilization Endurance), under the Resistance Training section, it says to perform “1-3 exercises per body part or movement pattern”. How many exercises is that in total then? Does this mean the resistance training should only focus on training specific muscle groups (e.g., legs)? Or does it mean that it should focus on multiple body parts, and just pick 1-3 exercises per body part? *5)* RM stands for repetition maximum, but what does 12-20 RM and 8-12 RM indicate? I realize that these numbers are the same as the number of reps, so I’m not sure what the difference is. *6)* What exactly is meant by the section on the table labeled “Client’s Choice”? Should the client pick some additional exercises that they want to do, on top of everything else that has already been chosen? How many additional exercises is it okay for the client to pick, and how many reps/sets should there be? *7)* On Phase 5 (Power Training), it says that rest should be “1-2 minutes between pairs; 3-5 minutes between circuits”. Since Phase 5 has supersets, what exactly is meant by “pairs” and “circuits”? These are the ‘Acute Variables’ from the tables that I find confusing. I would appreciate any videos that further explain these topics, so that it will be easier to interpret these tables, and have a better understanding of the phases. Thank you 🙏🏻

This really helped me!! Hopefully I’ll take my exam by the end of July!

Amazing

Can you please also do a video explaining *tempo,* and demonstrating how it works with different exercises? I’m trying to visualize what tempo would look like with different exercises , and how it should vary from phase to phase.

Outta here

Wonderful delivery..💯❌💯🦍#IamTank

Hello. I’m looking at phase 3 on another model and it says 0-3 minutes rest but your saying 0-60sec rest. Any idea? Thanks

That drawing is way better then the one I did in my notes.Can you put a link down here for the NASM course?I think I am going to need some help.

How do we learn more about the show up internship?! I’m currently studying for 7th edition nasm cpt and initially wanted to continue my education with them but not anymore after watching several of yours and ShowUpFitness videos lol!

I tried strength endurance maximal strength and phase 5 myself and all it did was burn me out way to fast

Hey I love these videos, I have the study guide for the 6th edition but I need more help to pass this exam on the 31. What can I do? Thank you

Hi! How do you measure the intensity?

How to get into your online class

how do i get signed up for your help at 5pm?

I'm burning my book and all material after the exam my 2nd time taking it will be today at 11:30! In 1 hour😢

Tuesday 5pm?

You are so beautiful

The pants are a horrible choice. What were you thinking??

Thanks this was very helpful!!
