ATHLETIC STRENGTH AND POWER

Philadelphia Eagles Strength Training

ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power recently visited the Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp.  During one of the rained out practices at Lehigh University we called a time-out and had Assistant Strength Coach Jay Merlino explain the Dumbell One Armed Chest Press. Head Strength Coach Mike Wolf demonstrates in the video below. After a brief workout, we headed down to The Bluesky Cafe for brunch. This is the place to go if you love breakfast fare and you're anywhere near the Lehigh Valley. I chose the Sweet Potato Quesadilla with eggs and black bean salsa. Wow! ASAP Program Director Ted Lambrinides: The Banana Bourbon French Toast. The Eagles coaches had a serious brunch going, too! Anyway, here's the video and be sure to try this exercise!

Rocky Boiman Tennessee Titans NFL

After a long summer as an unsigned free agent, Rocky Boiman signed last week with his original team, the Tennessee Titans. He was actually drafted in the 4th round in 2002 by the team. He spent a few seasons there and then ended up with the Indianapolis Colts, where he earned the ultimate reward for an NFL player, a Super Bowl ring. And he spent last year with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The former Cincinnati St Xavier Bomber and captain for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame spends most of his off-season free time finding a way to improve his game. You can usually find him at The Workout at Covington, just across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati and basically a long pass from Paul Brown Stadium...home of the Cincinnati Bengals.   It's there that he and other NFL players fine tune their strengths and prepare for the coming seasons. Strength training routines, agility work, flexibility training and cardio.... it's all part of the plan. And when they need to hit the field for all out drills and full gassers, they head to Covington Catholic High School, Thomas More College or Beechwood High School. Check out today's video of a few of the things that Rocky Boiman has been doing to prepare for his 8th NFL season.  And, if you'd like to learn more and how an ASAP Athletic Strength And Power could help you attain your goals, just give us a call at:

"Baby, what a comeback" report by Geoff Hobson Bengals.com

GEORGETOWN, Ky. - (PHOTO_ AP)      This used to be "Camp ChRock," where the only people that saw Bengals fullback Jeremi Johnson were strength and conditioning coaches Chip Morton and Rock Oliver as they put him through three grueling workouts per day in order to get him ready for the season.

It was a sad story last Thanksgiving Week when the Bengals let him go. Here's a guy who earned the league's richest contract for a fullback in April 2006 and responded with a Pro Bowl alternate season. But he then had trouble staying in shape and it led to his release off injured reserve (knee).But this week he figures to be one of the big storylines in the documentary on the Bengals camp when the first episode of Hard Knocks airs on HBO Wednesday at 10 p.m.Between the June 20 end of minicamp and the July 30 report date, the Bengals wondered if they would have a new fullback or if they would just give up Camp ChRock if Johnson came in overweight like the past couple of camps. After all, they had three and they had just drafted one.But when Johnson laid it all out in his conditioning test to pass, they had their answer. "Ask Chip Morton," Johnson said of how he did it. Northern Kentucky strength guru of The Workout at Covington,  Dr. Ted Lambrinides also operated."Teddy kicked my butt," Johnson admitted.
