    With a following that’s now worldwide, ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power has evolved into a physical training resource for coaches, physical educators, personal trainers and athletes. Our information base is huge. ASAP Director, Ted Lambrinides, with over 27 years of experience in the field, has developed professional relationships with many of the top coaches in sports. NFL, NCAA, NBA, MLS, MLB high school and amateurs, too. These coaches consult with Ted in order to make their particular programs the best that they can be. His ASAP program has examined all of the different types of training. He can advise on the Russian philosophy of training because…. he went to Moscow to study and share and exchange ideas at training symposiums held there. Furthermore, he has delved into the Olympic and explosive training movements to advise coaches on those aspects of training…..and on other types of training, like high intensity training, sometimes referred to as "H.I.T".  In fact, he spent many an hour discussing training with the late Arthur Jones at his Nautilus training center in  Deland, Florida and at Arthur’s home.  Mixed Martial Arts? Not a problem…. he’s worked with golden glove boxers, national champion kickboxers and Bando martial artists.

    So, in carrying on the current tradition of providing up-to-the-minute training information, ASAP brings you Part Two of the interview with The University of Michigan’s new Strength & Conditioning Coach, Mike Barwis. Part_two Just click on that Michigan logo for the final 8 minutes.

  • ASAP~ Athletic Strength And Power Podcasts: Illinois Football Coach Ron Zook

    The St. Xavier High School Strength & Conditioning Clinic was a successful event. Carlo Alvarez, who is the strength and conditioning coach of Ohio’s reigning #1 football squad, played host to this clinic where Ken Leistner was the Master of Ceremonies and ASAP Director Ted Lambrinides was one of the seminar’s speakers.  The  clinic awarded  CEU’s  in accordance with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).Ron_zook_2

    Kicking off the clinic was the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year (2007), Ron Zook of The University of Illinois where he serves as the Head Football Coach. Coach Zook had a very nice presentation along the theme of "Competition" and had some good videos to share which depicted the competitive situations that he gets his players into during the off-season. In fact, after watching that video of the players battling to exhaustion in a truck tire drill, it’s easy to see why their nicknamed the "Fightin’ Illini".

    After his talk, Coach Zook spent some time with ASAP Podcaster Ed Cicale…. discussing a little bit about his days at Miami University (Ohio), known as the "Cradle of Coaches", where the Redskins only lost one game in three seasons while he played defensive back there. Coach also emphasized the importance of the off-season strength training and conditioning program.

    Zook coached at several other schools including the University of Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, and Florida before arriving in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. He made a few stops in the NFL, too.

  • BGSU Strength Clinic Wrap-up & Podcast

    Oie_dsc_0461_2

    Aaron Hillman’s first strength & condtioning clinic at Bowling Green State Univ  was quite successful as many coaches, athletes and personal trainers walked away from this clinic with useful and applicable information. Longtime University of Michigan strength coach Mike Gittleson (retired) gave a great talk on developing hand and forearm strength. But it was his professor-like demeanor and storytelling abilities that helped to convey his training methods and topic. There’s no question why he spent 30 years at the U of M and had the opportunity to work for one of college football’s all-time great coaches…. Bo Schembechler. Mike Gittleson’s a true master in the field of strength training.

    We also heard from Kelly Howe… an assistant at BGSU. She oversees the many of the female athletes and she left no doubt as to the intensity of her workouts! We’ll provide further podcasts with Kelly, as well as with Clinic Director Roger LaPointe, and Three time Olympic Weightlifter Fred Lowe.

    Today’s podcast is a clinic wrap-up with Aaron Hillman (BGSU) and
    Cincinnati St. Xavier High School Strength Coach Carlo Alvarez.
