We just received our new Burn Machine…and so far, we're really impressed. I first saw it at the Detroit Lions Strength Clinic last week. What I like about it so far is the fact that it feels great on my elbows (which have had some tedonitis issues in the past). The hand gripping area of the bar rotates via ball-bearings a full 360 degrees which allows for practically zero strain to the joints. We tested out the Universal Model of the Burn Machine with some of our high school athletes this morning. Looks like it's going to be a popular piece of equipment. Check out Highlands High School (Ft. Thomas, Kentucky) Track athlete Kyle McGurn, a 400m and 200m runner who plans on improving on his 53.95 time from last year. His goal for this year is to run 50's this season.

February 11th and 12th 2011: Big Ten Champs Michigan State Strength Clinic
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!

ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Video Interview with Florida Strength Coach Mickey Marotti
ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power took to the air last week for a road trip that covered Tampa Bay, then Sarasota to see Matt Krause and Bronson Arroyo at the Cincinnati Reds’ spring training headquarters….and then on to Gainesville, Florida to attend the 4th Annual University of Florida Strength Clinic. First things first, if you find yourself in Gainesville, be sure to check out Ballyhoo Grill for dinner and too relax. More importantly, start your day off right with breakfast at the 43rd Street Deli. French Toast, Sweet Potato Pancakes…. traditional eggs and sausage….. you won’t leave hungry!
From there, it’s on to the clinic. Of course, it was hosted by the University of Florida’s Director of Strength & Conditioning, Mickey Marotti who joined us for an ASAP Podcast back in ’07….. and his strength staff, who found a way to keep nearly 275 coaches and fitness professionals comfortable during their two days at the clinic. There was plenty of room for all in the 25,000 square feet training complex used by the Florida Gators football squad. The facility is an amazing complex housed in the depths of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium… known as “The Swamp” to Gator fans. And ASAP plans to take you behind the scenes this fall when the defending National Champions take to the field for 2009.
Take a look at our exclusive ASAP Performance Video and hear direct from Coach Marotti and get a look inside the Gator training center. Consider this video a “part One”, as we’ll have more later.
Coach Mickey Marotti shows off his 25,000 square foot weight training complex to ASAP Program Director Ted Lambrinides. Professional colleagues for over 25 years!
