Christian Thibaudeau, Neurological and Physical Typing System

Dates: April 6–7, 2019

The 2-Day Neurotyping System Seminar is for coaches and fitness professionals who design and implement strength training programs and for anyone who wants to enhance their training results.

Though hormonal optimization has been a successful approach for training individualization, neural optimization supersedes it given that the neural response will affect the hormonal response, while the opposite is not true.

The bottom line is simple: you are more likely to train hard, be focused and stay motivated if you like the type of training you are doing, and a training that goes against your nature causes a greater stress response that hinders optimal progression.

This is essentially the founding principle and inspiration behind the concept of neurological profiling for training individualization which lead Christian Thibaudeau to the creation of Neurological and Physical Typing System. The 2-Day Neurotyping System Seminar will provide you with the know-how to assess neurological type and apply the system to specific goals for short and long-term programming.
