  • 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.
