set the dates

Optimum Performance Training Inc. will be hosting 4 online competitions from Sep 2009 to March 2010.
The individual competitions will be tests of fitness over a 2 day period; the first being Sept 26th and Sep 27th, 2009; the second being Nov 14th and 15th, 2009
The workouts will be released days prior to the weekend events.
These competitions are open to all.
A few things to start:
- there will be 4 total competitions
- prizes will be awarded to top male and female for each competition as well as year end "top dawg"
- how one places in each event will go towards overall year end score to determine the "top dawg"
- video entries are mandatory if you are not judged within Optimum Performance Training

The competitions will give those who choose fitness as their sport an opportunity to test themselves throughout the year. It will allow the building of a community, one which believes in continually testing human performance under our definition of fitness.
Use the competitions as weekend events for your affiliates, as opportunities to get together with other dawgs or just as a chance to compete against a few of the fittest around.
The Big Dawg schedule and planning will be based on these events as well as of course the accumulation of preparing everyone in their area for their respective regional qualifiers for a chance to get to the show.
This is what we know right now for sure, more details to follow including prizes, awards and event details...enjoy!

choose a weight in which you can perform non stop reps of power cleans for 20 sec (no pause on ground or in rack position), when the 20 sec timer goes off, sprint run 200 m @ 95% effort
