The OTC weight room is pretty awesome. Note the distinct lack of machines and contraptions, just plenty of squat racks and platforms. Free weights + good technique = total body strength.

But despite the lack of gadgetry, the system works! Numerous Olympic champions have been forged in this weight room...

Maybe in a couple months... years... a few Winter Term athletes will be up on the wall of fame!

Full, Gold and Silver Term athletes will be able to take advantage of a specialized strength program laid out by Ambrose and his staff throughout the season.

Thanks Ambrose and Kurt for all the awesome information, we're really looking forward to working with you guys this winter!
