  • Detroit Lions 2013 Strength & Conditioning Clinic


    Detroit_lionsI just got word from Detroit Lions’ Asst Strength Coach Ted Rath about their upcoming strength and conditioning clinic.  It’s the Third Annual Detroit Lions Strength & Conditioning Clinic and it will take place at their Allen Park training facilty in Michigan on Saturday March 2nd, 2013.
    Click on the Detroit Lions’ Logo for the official flyer and information on this clinic.

    I have been to the previous two clinics and they were conducted very professionally. The clinic format that they use is very smooth and it’s also a great chance to see one of the top notch NFL training facilities.  Head Strength Coach Jason Arapoff, 
    Arapoff-jason-hs10who is in his twelfth season with the Detroit Lions, makes sure that everything is organized and that the clinic runs efficiently. And, with Coach Ted Rath
    Rath-ted-hs10 on hand, the clinic is sure to be energetic and enthusiastic.

    So, if you’re a coach…and really of any sport, this is an event that you may want to add to your professional development calendar right away! See you there…..

    Gameday is huge in college football. It usually only occurs twelve or thirteen times a year. So it's critical that the players be prepared for action. Muscles need to be warmed up, the joints and tendons have to be adequately prepped for the cutting, the hits, and the wear and tear of the game.

    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power got access to the #6 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes as Coaches Rick Court and Anthony Schlegel got the team ready. Check out the video below.

  • Football: Georgia Bulldogs at Kentucky Wildcats

    SweatI made the trip down to Lexington, Kentucky last Saturday to catch up with strength training experts Ray “Rock” Oliver and Ted Lambrinides. Those guys have some awesome National Championship rings! Lexington: I gotta tell you, it’s definitely the heart of basketball country.  Ray and Ted just got some serious national exposure as they were seen in action on the ESPN All-Access in depth, and behind the scenes look into University of Kentucky Basketball. Anyway, the natives are getting restless down there for some hoops. In the mean time, there’s plenty of football action and it was Homecoming weekend as the #10 ranked Georgia Bulldogs came into town. Top ranked opponents are the norm for the Wildcats. Basically, every Saturday, tighten up the chinstraps because here comes another bigtime. The ‘Cats opened things up and established themselves early, though the ‘Dawgs were able to pick on the young UK secondary and get a questionable ‘running into the punter’ call and take a second half win
    Anyway, here’s a few pics from the event and one of our top training videos of all time. Click here or on the photo above to link to the pics.
