In addition to presenting the current scientific research revolving around resistance training, the conference also ties in the incredibly rich heritage of Nautilus and HIT training principles and how this heritage impacts the entire fitness industry today. This conference is perfect for strength coaches, personal trainers, and practitioners who want to be on the cutting edge of "evidence-based" practice as well as Nautilus devotees that remember and understand the rich history of Arthur Jones and the movement that he created over 40 years ago. The conference is a great opportunity to earn CEU's through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In addition to 8 presentations, the conference also features an early morning workout, breakout sessions covering a variety of "practical" topics, and an attendee social on Friday night. The conference takes place at the picturesque Marquette Hotel Conference Center positioned at the top floor of Minneapolis's tallest building.

    Nov 7 2014:   Here are the latest photos from our in-depth look into the MSU Football training program. ASAP recently checked in at one of college football's premier programs and with one of the more revered strength coaches in the game today…. Ken Mannie. He's been at it for thirty years, the last nineteen with the Spartans at Michigan State. He's had many of the players whom he's trained, move on to the NFL. Yet, more importantly to him, he's more proud of the program that he's developed in East Lansing, where the prevailing attitude is to "Earn The Jersey." Championships… bowl wins…. and presently, the Spartans sit atop the "Legends" Division  in the Big Ten Conference. This poised Michigan State squad is on a collision course with an appearance in this year's Big Ten Championship game and they have their sites on the 100th Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio.

  • Ohio State Football Strength Coaching Segment with Coach Jeff Uhlenhake

    Retired Cincinnati Bengals' Strength and Conditioning Coach Kim Wood has been talking and coaching the philosophy for years now…."prepare players for the stresses and rigors of a violent game."

    And today, at places like Michigan State and Ohio State, strength staffs have heard Wood's message and are implementing the lesson of "protecting the players from serious injury."
    Michigan State's Strength Coach, Ken Mannie, has an unprecedented 8 state-of-the-art 5-way Pendulum neck machines for targeting the neck region, Eastern Michigan University is recording data with the neck training that they are conducting and are examining the correlation of head and neck training and reduction of concussion occurrence.


    Ohio State's Assistant AD for Football Sports Performance, Mickey Marotti
    is also a leader in the strength training field and he has his strength staff on board with an "all in" mentality. They're using many direct and indirect methods to build head and neck strength….. just as Coach Kim Wood paved the way with his training of NFL Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz and the Cincinnati Bengals!


    IMG_6457aToday's video is really a coaching clinic on direct training of the neck…. both manually and with a machine. 
    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power ventured up Interstate 71 Northbound to Columbus, Ohio for this one. The Ohio State University and the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The video is conducted with Jeff Uhlenhake, a former 1st Team All-America offensive lineman from Newark (Ohio) Catholic High School and of course, Ohio State University. He played 10 years in the National Football League (NFL) with Miami, New Orleans and Washington. Nowadays, due to Jeff's extensive playing and coaching resume, he's become an integral part of the strength staff for the Buckeyes. Assisting in the video is OSU Strength Intern Nick Savage, who also appeared in a previous ASAP Video.
