    Last week, ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power podcaster Ed Cicale was able to coordinate ASAP Director Ted Lambrinides and longtime (retired) Cincinnati Bengal Strength Coach Kim Wood for a meeting and podcast from the awesome weight training gym at Kim’s home in Cincinnati. The topic: Steroid Drugs/ Human Growth Hormone in Today’s Sports. The discussion also delved into The Mitchell Report, former Senator George Mitchell’s 20 month investigation into Major League baseball’s use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone (HGH).

  • Time For Some Hard Work? How About Ken Mannie’s Approach?

    There’s always plenty that you can do to jump start your training program. One way would be to get down to one of several of "The Workout" Training facilities. In Cincinnati, Ohio there’s Hyde Park, Adam’s Landing, Western Hills or in Northern Kentucky… The Workout @ Covington. Also, the Tampa, Florida location is very popular at The Athletic Performance Center where Scott Savor trains many high performance athletes.Cliff_pullup1_2

    Of course, there are plenty of coaches and trainees who don’t live in proximity of of one of our training centers…yet still want the latest insights and opinions from the ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power network. Due to the technology of the internet, we get requests for information from all reaches of the world! Without a doubt, some of our more popular blogposts are those with the Ken Mannie influence. Coach Mannie, the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach of Michigan State University is on the ASAP Advisory Board.

    Today’s post features a pdf download from a recent POWERLINE segment that appeared in Coach & Athletic Director. We’re sure you’ll enjoy this one entitled "Strength Training’s Bottom Lines."

    While there are certainly enough
    factors in physical improvement that
    are out of our control (e.g., genetically-
    based road blocks), there are
    enough controllable variables for us
    to corral and use to our benefit……. Ken Mannie
