    Former LSU longtime S&C
    Coach Tommy Moffitt

    One of the big highlights of the HAMMER STRENGTH Clinic that was conducted at the Spooky Nook Athletics Complex in Hamilton, Ohio was the presentation on the opening night by Coach Tommy Moffitt. Basically, he laid out the infrastructure of his championship performance program that had the LSU Fighting Tigers fighting for and winning the big games and the big prizes. He's been in the strength & conditioning field for over thirty years. At Louisiana State for 23 years and prior to there, he'd been at Tennessee Vols and the Miami Hurricanes.

    So, I guess it's a no-brainer that the Hammer Strength Clinic roped in the accomplished Tommy Moffitt. And, the clinic was the perfect time to catch an Athletic Strength And Power Podcast recording with Coach Moffitt. We talked strength training and conditioning an discussed how he used Polar heart rate monitors with the Tigers at LSU when conducting speed and conditioning workouts.

    Currently, Moffitt has a strength & conditioning website called The Moffitt Method. It looks like a great resource for coaches & athletes and can even merge with TEAMBUILDR, the online strength & conditioning software.  In addition, he has a podcast that he records every Wednesday!

    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power recently visited the Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp.  During one of the rained out practices at Lehigh University we called a time-out and had Assistant Strength Coach Jay Merlino explain the Dumbell One Armed Chest Press. Head Strength Coach Mike Wolf demonstrates in the video below. After a brief workout, we headed down to The Bluesky Cafe for brunch. This is the place to go if you love breakfast fare and you're anywhere near the Lehigh Valley. I chose the Sweet Potato Quesadilla with eggs and black bean salsa. Wow!
