Adrian Matei
My name is Adrian Matei, I am a Strength and Conditioning Coach and I want to teach you what I learned, practice and applied over the last 17 years with my students about human movement and performance.
Who I Help:
From powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, any ball sport like football, baseball, basketball, soccer, rugby, lacrosse etc., any endurance sport for long distance to track and field, tactical, MMA/grappling, strongman, water sports, CrossFit to get in a great physical condition or recovering from injuries.
How I Do It:
The training that I provide is an optimal training, not minimal and not maximal, more is not better, one must recover properly from workout to workout.
I am responsible to fulfill the athlete's potential no matter what is the sport or task that is training for.
My objective as a Coach is to provide to my athletes the most complex training programs for special strength and restoration methods plus the correct volume and intensity zones to use and when to implement them throughout a multi-year plan. This is the resolving system commonly known as the conjugate system.
I am combining diverse functional movement disciplines like powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, strongman, gymnastics, running mechanics, jumping, throwing, swimming, rowing, biking and many others covering pretty much the entire spectrum of positions and movements that the body can adopt. That means that every movement performed has a transferable application to sport and life.

The basis of strength conditioning is to improve strength and conditioning simultaneously. I understand all sports require special strengths development and most importantly, I understand special strengths and their velocities.
