    We headed north on I-65 out of Indianapolis. After a couple of back roads, ASAP arrived on the scene in West Lafayette and the campus of Purdue University…. well known for its engineering curricula. It's a prestigious university with stringent academic standards. It's also an original member of the Big Ten Conference (though known as the Western Conference in 1896), so they've been playing football there for a long time! Recently, the Boilermakers have had a resurgence under their head coach Jeff Brohm, who has the team's and fan's attention, especially after a seven win inaugural season and a Bowl victory over the Arizona Wildcats. 
    That kind of turnaround doesn't get accomplished without a serious training regimen. Enter Purdue's Director of Football Strength & Conditioning Justin Lovett. He's embraced his opportunity under Coach Brohm and has the Boilermakers going full steam ahead in their brand new football performance center.
    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power, had to check it out! The place is astounding and the training is real! I sat down in Coach Lovett's office and fired up the recorder for this ASAP Podcast (technical difficulty with the recording) and gained some insight into this up and coming Big Ten program!

  • Nick Savage….. Departs Mississippi State with HFC Dan Mullen to Florida Gators

    NFL~Zebra Technologies player tracking expert Ted Lambrinides with Coach Nick Savage

    Congratulations is due to our longtime ASAP coaching colleague, Nick Savage who will accompany Head Football Coach Dan Mullen to Gainesville, Florida. Coach Savage has become the new Director of Strength & Conditioning for the Florida Gators Football team. He had held the same title with the Mississippi State Bulldogs, as well as assistant stints at Bowling Green State Univ, Ohio State, and the University of Toledo and also at Mississippi State. Coach Mullen had been able to bring in some major athletes and football stars to Mississippi State and Coach Savage played a key role in developing the players into exceptionally talented performers for the Bulldogs at "Hail State". Savage's strength training knowledge was able to flourish under the tutelage of Ohio State's Mickey Marotti and Maryland's Rick Court. Now, he's in charge of getting the Gator football squad prepped to to battle in the SEC East Division, where the Georgia Bulldogs and South Carolina Gamecocks lie in wait. And the frenzied fans at "The Swamp" would like nothing more than to revisit the kind of days experienced under Coach Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer.

    Be sure to follow ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power for future updates as we'll be heading down to Gainesville to check in on how Nick Savage is helping to get the Gators' bite back!

  • Cincinnati Bearcats Football & Strength Training

    IMG_5358It's a new era of football for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Coach Luke Fickell and his very experienced staff are in town now and they're beginning to build the foundation that needs to be established for future prosperity. The base is often times the most difficult part of building a structure. But once it's established…. lookout! And that's where Brady Collins enters the picture. He's the guy who Coach Fickell has entrusted to lead his young Bearcats as the Director of Football Sports Performance. Here's a few game pics and Bearcats-in-training videos to show you how Coach Collins and his staff are laying down the groundwork.

  • ASAP @ INDIANA HOOSIERS at Michigan State Spartans

    Michigan's State's longtime strength and conditioning coach Ken Mannie, one of the most respected in the business, had to have felt a little pride factor following the Spartans' come-from-behind victory in front of 75,000 at Spartan Stadium on October 21 versus the Indiana Hoosiers. Mannie's FOURTH QUARTER PROGRAM is installed during those early morning off-season training sessions when nobody's watching. Demanding and exhausting, the program is designed to prepare the Spartans for conditions that will test their physical and mental preparation.This year's MSU Football team is very young and inexperienced. In fact, there are only four starting senior players. Two on offense and two on defense. Given this type of situation, team strength and conditioning is even more of a concern. But, on a picture perfect day near the banks of the old Red Cedar River on the East Lansing, Michigan campus, the Michigan State Spartans defensive unit kept MSU within reach all afternoon. The Indiana Hoosiers had a very fine effort behind two of their Cincinnati, Ohio guys, young quarterback Peyton Ramsey and linebacker Tegray Scales. However, three field goals were not enough to down the Spartans on their Homecoming weekend. With the ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power GAMEDAY Feature crew on hand, Quarterback Brian Lewerke found WR Felton Davis wide open after making the right read to haul in the touchdown catch that gave the Spartans their first lead of the day. A few minutes later, MSU running back L.J.Scott took a hand-off into the end zone, basically unimpeded, for the game's final score. The Spartans had survived another 4th quarter scare, though it appears that  sixty minute battles … or even more….  might be the norm for 2017. Congratulations to Head Coach Mark Dantonio and Coach Mannie on another Michigan State victory.

    And as Coach Dantonio always says    "Go Green"

  • Auburn Tigers Nutrition: Peanut Butter Protein Bars Recipe courtesy of Lauren Silvio Auburn Team Nutritionist

    20170620_154102I have a new go-to post workout snack! And, I figure if it's one on the faves of the Auburn Tiger Football squad…. count me in.  During a recent meeting with Tigers' Head Strength Coach Ryan Russell, we observed an impressive strength training session followed by an intense conditioning workout in the relatively new indoor practice facility. Leave no doubt, the Auburn Tigers are looking very fit…. and very big. They have a few guys that have an NFL look! Coach Russell and his staff have been doing a great job in preparation for the upcoming 2017 season. 

    Having a team nutritionist centered right inside the training facility is paying dividends for Auburn. And Lauren Silvio is doing quite an impressive job.  By accident, I stumbled upon her and her staff producing a batch of Peanut Butter Protein Bars/nuggets. Anyway, the bottom line is that they happen to be a player favorite. Once I heard that, I moved along with a recipe request! Here it is:

    BiProJarSetAuburn Tiger Peanut Butter Protein Bites

    Add the ingredients to a bowl. Mix the batch until completely combined. Cut or roll into bite size chunks

    1 Scoop of Whey Protein ( I used a packet of BiPro Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate) 

    2 cups of oat flour      ( You can use rolled oats cycled through a blender until it's flour-like)

    1 1/2 cups of Peanut Butter

    1/4  cup of honey

    Chocolate chips to taste

  • ASAP Exclusive Photos: & Video @ Clemson Football New Strength Training Complex

    IMG_1966Clemson Football Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach Adam Smotherman rolled out the orange and purple carpet for the ASAP arrival in Clemson, South Carolina. The defending 2016 College Football National Champion Clemson Tigers now boast one of the most impressive training facilities anywhere. The gleaming new football complex is nestled into the sprawling, beautiful acres of Clemson Athletics. ASAP got the firsthand look at this marvelous place that includes a indoor slide from the second floor down to the weightroom, a bowling alley, nap room, barbershop, huge game room, player dining room, indoor simulated golf course, and impressive outdoor landscaped patio with full compliment of furnishings….. right next to a putt-putt golf course. 

    The weightroom is a huge 27,000 square foot jewel that is sure to provide Head Strength Coach Joey Batson plenty of room to mold more championship-level Clemson Tiger football stars. Here are some of the photos

  • ASAP Podcast with Coach Brady Collins CINCINNATI BEARCATS

    Brady CollinsThere's construction going on at the University of Cincinnati. Yes, The Fifth/Third Arena is undergoing a huge renovation…… but there's more, the UC Bearcat Football team is under new direction after the hire of Head Football Coach Luke Fickell and the his football squad is under construction, too. Enter Coach Brady Collins. He's the guy that Coach Fickell has entrusted to lead his young Bearcats as the Director of  Football Sports Performance. Once Fickell had landed from the short flight south of Columbus, Ohio, he summoned Collins  for the task. Coach Collins has been well schooled for the assignment, as he spent a few years at the University of Kentucky with Ray "ROCK" Oliver and Ted Lambrinides. From there, he made his way south and deeper into SEC Football at Mississippi State at first with Matt Balis and then under Rick Court. Then it was on to Columbus and the Ohio State Buckeyes where he worked under Master Strength Coach Mickey Marotti. What a ton of great athletes and coaches whom Brady Collins has been around! Now, Collins is on his own and is prepared for the new journey at The University of Cincinnati! Good Luck Brady!
