FOOTBALL STRENGTH CLINIC
Clifton Cultural Arts Center (CCAC) 3711 Clifton, Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45220
The event, which draws from a national base, will take place on June 28th and 29th. The Friday evening session, 7:00pm–9:00pm, will include social networking opportunities with top colleagues and professionals in the strength and conditioning field. Adult beverages and snacks provided. The Saturday slate will commence at 9:00am (registration from 7am-9am).

Kim Wood was Cincinnati Bengal Head Coach Paul Brown's first and only strength coach. He served in that capacity for thirty years. Now retired, he's sharing his knowledge, that helped his squads appear in two Super Bowls, with the coaching community. His straight forward and extreme methodology to training is no easy path….yet, the results of strict adherence to his training program can bump an athlete to the next level!
This clinic is primarily for football coaches, though strength professionals who train and prepare athletes to participate in all sports will certainly gain by attending. Football Strong Click on the weight plate for more information on this clinic
It's time to register for the upcoming Michigan State Strength Clinic which will take place on February 8th and 9th, 2013 at the Strength Training and MSU Football facilities in East Lansing, Michigan. This is the 6th Annual clinic that they have held. There's a reason that Coaches Ken Mannie and Mike Vorkapich keep having this clinic: It's popular and a SUCCESS. The Michigan State Strength program is well known from coast to coast and Mannie, Vorkapich, Tommy Hoke and the rest of the staff perpare the Spartans for championships. Players develop rapidly there. In fact, almost too fast as quite a few Michigan State players have opted out of their collegiate eligibility as Spartans to pursue professional careers…. physically and skillwise…ready to make the transition.
Now's your chance to check out the program from the front row seats! Soak in one of the truly top training centers in all of college football and basketball. Take note of the specialized equipment that they use, learn strength training from many of the master coaches and lecturers in the business, and, of course, catch Coach Mannie in action.

Dr. Ken Leistner, with the assistance of his lovely wife, Kathy, decided to publish a newsletter in 1985 called “The Steel Tip.” The newsletter focused on information pertinent to strength and fitness enthusiasts. Dr. Ken published the newsletter for three years. It was a newsletter that the readers looked forward to each month. The articles were informational and practical.
It is hard to believe that about a quarter of a century has past since the newsletter was published. In talking to some of the new generation of strength trainers/coaches who have recently started reading The Steel Tip Collection, they are amazed with the quality, clarity, and practicality of the information. It is as if they have stumbled upon a treasure. It is!
Finding ACCURATE, SAFE, EFFECTIVE, and PRACTICAL strength training information is not always easy.The Steel Tip Collection is NECESSARY READING for all individuals who are in the position of organizing and implementing strength training programs for others. Many of the topics in The Steel Tip Collection touch upon problems or issues that a strength coach will deal with on a daily basis. Dr. Ken approaches issues from not only a strength training perspective but from a sports medicine perspective. The common sense approach to training embedded in exercise science principles was what the The Steel Tip Collection was about. As Sam Walton once said, “the only problem with common sense is that it is not common.” ASAP whole-heartedly endorses this book as a true gem and recommends that you contact www.functionalhandstrength.comto order the book…DON’T WAIT!

If you're into strength training and you find yourself in Orlando, Florida…. you have to get in contact with Big Jim Flanagan. Jim's been in the fitness and strength business for over 40 years! Basically, he's seen it all. All of the trends….changes, for good or bad. Yet throughout all of the years, Flanagan has stuck by his guns and hasn't veered off course for the latest "workout of the month". Jim knows the principles of exercise physiology and put the information to work with people like Arthur Jones, the creator of the Nautilus machines and Dr. El Darden, an exercise physiologist, body builder, and author of a multitude of books and manuals on strength training. Today, he's the director of operations for one of Orlando's favorite restaurants and top steakhouse… Del Frisco's Prime Steak & Lobster. How popular? Let's just say that the restaurant had one thousand reservations for New Year's Eve!!!!! If that's not enough, he's also a distributor of Med-X Strength Training Equipment. And, as for working out, he owns one of the finest home gyms known to mankind. The gym has modern, state-of-the-art equipment and some refurbished original Nautilus machines. But, what really sets the home gym apart from others is the hundreds of photographs and posters…most autographed (with a personal note to Jim) by an incredible variety of famous people from all walks of life. And each photo tells its own story… as told by Jim Flanagan. Before Jim and I sat down for the recording session of today's ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Podcast, we stopped to eat at one of Jim's favorite diners: Shannon's Diner. The Soup of the day for that particular Friday was "Black-Eyed Pea/ Vegetable" which I had a large bowl full with a hamburger. A special recipe hamburger and the meat is ground fresh in the kitchen by the chef. I've got to tell you…. this is probably the best hamburger that I've had in the last twenty-five years. Therefore, Shannon's Diner gets ASAP Approval! In fact, I'm planning another trip to Orlando just to go back! Also, I need to get back there so I can train with Jim Flanagan at his home training center and watch a good western movie while recovering! (Jim's an avid western movie buff).Enjoy today's podcast. … Blogpost by Ed Cicale

Before long, the bowl games will be over and the off-season will commence. So, now's the time to start the serious planning stages of how you'll build a championship program….like for example, the Michigan State Spartans! Ken Mannie and Mike Vorkapich have designed a clinic that will serve to motivate and educate all sports coaches and personal trainers and anyone else who trains and conditions athletes. I always look forward to learning from master strength and conditioning coaches. In fact, twenty three years ago, while I was training championship high school athletes in Cincinnati, Ohio, I sought to bring in the best coaches around to help me ignite my program. Coaches like Kim Wood, Ted Lambrinides, Rock Oliver, Chip Morton, Mark Asanovich, Shaun Brown, Ken Mannie, Mickey Marotti, and Brad Bates…to name a few… all left a great influence on my program. Years later, these guys are still at it… and sharing their knowledge with those willing to learn! Ed Cicale~ASAP Athletic Strength And Power
