It’s a busy time of the year for ASAP Director Ted Lambrinides. A multitude of college football players are prepping for Pro Days held on college campuses and of course, the NFL Combine which is held at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since Ted has been to several of the combines at Indy, he knows what the pro scouts and coaches are looking for and how to help his athletes best prepare. His long time association with professional NFL strength coaches gives ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power~ an obvious edge in athlete preparation. In fact, ten NFL strength coaches serve on the ASAP Advisory Board. In fact, just this afternoon, Jacksonville Jaguar strength coach Mark Asanovich stopped into The Workout @ Covington and discussed equipment and program design.
Two weeks ago, Ted was on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan as he visited the new Allen Park facility, home of the Detroit Lions and assistant coach Kevin Tolbert. Coach Tolbert gave a full tour of the Allen Park expanse as the two were able to discuss the training of pro football players. Furthermore, Ted was able to test out some of the new strength training equipment employed by the Lions. Check out the ASAP Photo Album (found in the left hand column) for some pictures from the tour. Here’s a couple of pics to get you started:

Northern Kentucky’s “Brazilian Strikers” Girls Soccer Team at ASAP
A Northern Kentucky Girls Soccer
program has been working to gain an edge through an intense training
program. Coach Attef Mikhail has enrolled his team, the Brazilian Strikers, into an all-inclusive training program at The Workout@Covington,
just a long strike from downtown Cincinnati.
The workouts include
intense Acceleration Training on the treadmills, Speed and Agility
Training geared toward soccer specific movement patterns, Core Development, and Strength Training. Explosive Training is also being employed through the use of the SHUTTLE MVP, a cutting edge training device that involves firing the explosive, fast twitch muscle fibers.Female athletes tend to use their quadricep muscle strength more than their male counterparts, who involve much more hamstring firing in their lower body, athletic movements. This can lead to ACL tears and stress fractures due to musclular strength imbalances. Hamstring muscles should be 60-70% as strong as the quadriceps. Therefore, the ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power program is designed to enhance strength gains in that all-important knee joint. Front lunges, side lunges, squats, the Shuttle MVP and a variety of single joint movements using the Hammer Strength machines make sure that these girls are strengthening the musculature involved. Furthermore, the girls are pushed through a speed/agility station and then sprint training using an interval training concept.
