  • Athletic Strength And Power Podcast: Rocky Boiman Indianapolis Colts

    Boiman

    One of Life's lessons…. "You just persevere and good things happen"….Rocky Boiman

    In just a few short days, Rocky Boiman will be at the Indianapolis Colts training camp at Rose Hulman College in Terre Haute. The hard summer weight training sessions are in the past now. The onetime Cincinnati St. Xavier Bomber got one more sprint training session in at Covington Catholic High School on a perfect Saturday morning. Usually, the mid July northern Kentucky heat and humidity can be almost unbearable…..especially down on the FieldTurf. The Saturday morning ASAP Training program can leave many athletes in a state of complete exhaustion. Full Gassers….Half Gassers…. Backpedals….Shuttles……and Lunges take their toll. But Rocky….. well, it's obvious that he's the "guy that plays for the Colts" to the casual observer who may be taking a light jog at the CovCath track. He flies up and down the field almost with ease. It's here that you can see why he "usually reports to camp as one of the best conditioned guys" as he pushes himself to the max.

  • The ASAP Sports Nutrition “Shopping” Cart: Barney Butter

    Ist2_156499_shopping_cart While reading my Columbus Dispatch a few Sunday’s ago, I stumbled upon an article about almond butter. Knowing that almonds provide high quality protein, I took a closer look at the article. Keep in mind that the protein contained in these nuts possess high quality amino acids.  Besides being a good source of protein, almonds are also a good source of: fiber, phosphorus, potassium, copper, zinc and an excellent source of vitamin E…just to name a few. There’s also some research that indicates that some of the aminos can lower the risk of coronary disease.

    Barney_butter_banner_2 

    Enter Jennifer Barney and her new product appropriately named Barney Butter which hit many western state stores about a year ago (for us easterners, the online ordering option will have to make do for now).  I recently tasted….and tested the butter with some athletes and professionals and the consensus is that it is really good! It’s lower in saturated fat than peanut butter and has it’s own benefits. I tested both the crunchy and the smooth and I got to tell you….their both really good. Another great feature is that you don’t have to stir it up…. Jennifer came up with a special way to solve that.

    Furthermore,  another great idea that Jennifer utilizes is the squeezable packet. This may be as good as the butter itself! You can take this almond butter with you….it’s great to go, and I know that I’ll be suggesting this product to the coaches and athletes with whom I work. Great Taste….Great packet idea….High quality protein. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to throw out my peanut butter, but now I have more variety for my shelves. Make room in your shopping cart for Barney Butter.

  • The “ASAP Shopping Cart” Welcomes Rachel Clark, MS, RD, CSSD

    Ist2_156499_shopping_cart ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power welcomes Rachel Clark from Purdue University.Purtop1a04_3   Rachel Clark is a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (C.S.S.D.) and she has been working with Boilermaker athletes through the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at Purdue. Rachel, a Registered Dietician (R.D.), earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics and Nutrition, Fitness and Health and she holds a Master of Science in Exercise and Sports Nutrition. Rachel will be a regular contributor to "The ASAP Shopping Cart" segment of the ASAP blogsite and we’ll be sure to get her scheduled for a future podcast, too.

    Peanut Butter should be in the athlete’s shopping cart. It is:

    Flavorful à Add it into smoothies – it’s particularly tasty with those that contain bananas and/or chocolate.  Spread it on whole grain bread (with or without honey or jelly), apples, or celery.  Stir it into hot oatmeal.  Or be adventurous and include it in pasta dishes as in traditional Thai cooking.

    Low-cost à The cost of 2 tablespoons of peanut butter is roughly 15 to 20 cents… Compare that to the cost of a typical sports bar, which is often at least $1.50.

    Filling à Studies show that peanuts have a high satiety value.  That is, a person feels satisfactorily full after eating this food.  This effect is, in part due to the presence of protein and fiber (as in a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter).  Some people worry that peanut butter is fattening, but despite peanuts’ energy density, studies show that those who eat peanuts compensate and do not overeat total daily calories. 

    Health-enhancing à About 70% of the total fat in peanut is heart-healthy (unsaturated).  Peanut butter also contains fiber, vitamin E, niacin, magnesium, folate, and the antioxidant also found in red wine and red grapes, resveratrol.
