  • ASAP @ The Athletic Performance Center Prepping Players for the NFL Draft and Indianapolis Combine

    Pic_0269_2
    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power in Tampa, Florida
    has been prepping players for both the combine and the NFL draft. Human
    Performance Specialist, Scott Savor has been coaching players through
    the progressions. By using position specific fundamental drills,
    vertical and broad jump training, 10, 20 and 40yd linear sprints, bench
    press repetition training, and the Indianapolis NFL Combine-specific
    agility drills, the athletes are becoming best prepared for the tests
    at Indy.

    Scott just returned from Tokyo, Japan where he and Jacksonville Jaguar Strength Coach Mark Asanovich met and trained with Japanese football players and Sports and Field owner Tatsuya Okawa

    Here’s are a few quotes about ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power and the workouts that some players experienced:

    “…Really didn’t know
    what to expect, but after the first day…Loved it!  Everything was so
    positive and I learned not to be negative towards self or others.  They (The Athletic Performance Center)
    know how to push you to your max!”

    Curtis Lofton

    great, and I looked forward to every workout with the APC staff.  They have
    great energy and mentalities that create a very productive environment!”

    Ty Hall

    “I thought the whole program made
    me better aware of how to workout, and allowed me to focus on my workouts,
    because of how well I was taken care of.  The intensity of the program made me
    perform at my best day in and day out.  Everyone I worked with came with a
    great attitude everyday!”

  • Part 3/3: Ted Lambrinides and Kim Wood Play HardBall in a Discussion about Steroids and Human Growth Hormone

    Alg_roger
    With baseball’s Roger Clemens and his personal trainer Brian McNamee dominating much of the current sports pages, ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power
    , takes it’s stand against drug use. The podcast, recorded in Kim Wood’s unique home gym, explains the hard facts about steroids and human growth hormone (HGH) by two leading authorities. Ted Lambrinides serves on the NCAA’s speakers bureau and has spoken to hundreds of coaches and college athletes, as well as high school coaches and players, too about the perils of steroid use.

    While some coaches "looked the other way",  Kim Wood did the opposite. He took a stand. He knew and understood the dangers of the drugs….. often citing that players who delved into steroids were also admitting that they "didn’t have what it takes to be a man". Kim retired a few years ago after a 28 year career as an NFL head strength coach for the Cincinnati Bengals.

  • Northern Kentucky’s “Brazilian Strikers” Girls Soccer Team at ASAP

    Dsc_0949_2

    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.Dsc_0845
    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.
