ATHLETIC STRENGTH AND POWER

ASAP Podcast: Pre-Game Chat with Florida Strength Coach Mickey Marotti

Lexington, Kentucky
The Florida Gators were in town and it was strictly business for long time strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti and new Head Football Coach Will Muschamp. The Gators took command early with a huge and athletic group of lineman...both on defense and offense. The skill guys could probably all be placed on the track team..... in fact, one of their young running backs, Jeffrey Demps, has world class speed in the 100 meter dash....proving it at the Olympic Trials last year with a blazing 10.01 time! Does that track speed translate to football speed? Well, how about an 84 yard race to the Kentucky endzone????...which no doubt pleased offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, along with a team total of 405 yards rushing.

Prior to the kick-off, I caught up with UF strength coach Mickey Marotti who took a few minutes to share some information on the Florida In-Season Strength Training Program and what Saturday's pre-game meal for the Gators consisted of.

ASAP Podcast: Joe Cirulli Founder of Gainesville Health & Fitness

There are fitness centers all over the United States, both big ones and small ones. Yet you'd be hard pressed to find a operation like the Gainesville Health and Fitness Centers owned and managed by Joe Cirulli. His fitness centers have evolved into what they are today: top notch, service oriented fitness facilities. Five hundred employees...yes, that's 500 and 27,000 members!

I had the opportunity to interview Joe Cirulli at Kim Wood's "Legends" Strength Training Clinic. Cirulli, a distinguished guest at the Cincinnati seminar, came from Florida to learn and converse with fitness professionals and strength training coaches who literally came from all corners of the United States. After speaking with Joe, there's no question as to why he's experienced the success that he has. He's extremely passionate about what he does and after thirty eight years in the business of fitness, he's very knowledgeable about how things work in the fitness industry. In the interview, he states that every single day, you have to wake up and figure out how to make things better.

One of the keys to his success is the staff that he's assembled. He believes that you have to get the staff more engaged..... so that "they can inspire people to become their best."

ASAP Podcast with Dr. Joseph Signorile, University of Miami

Recently, while in Columbus, Ohio at the EAS Sports Nutrition seminar, I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Joseph Signorile, a professor of Exercise Physiology at Miami University. Dr. Signorile gave a very interesting lecture which would have particular interest to personal trainers, physical therapists and those who work with aging populations. His studies in sunny Miami, Florida focus on research that includes prescriptive periodization training for older individuals. Click on the Podcast bar or the official ASAP Podcast Logo for this intriguing interview with a leading research exercise physiologist.  Furthermore, one could get even more information on Dr. Signorile's research through his new book entitled "Bending The Aging Curve." In this new textbook, discover the indications of what aging curves are and how to set up a true diagnosis prescription model. And, in the back of the book, there is a diagnostic program that allows professionals the ability to assess their clients' needs and to provide the targeted training to meet those needs.

Cincinnati Bearcats Strength Training at Camp Higher Ground

There are very few NCAA Division 1 Football programs that conduct their fall training camp off campus. Yet, the Cincinnati Bearcats do just that! They load up the Bearcat semis, vans, and busses and head thirty miles west to the rolling hills and backcountry of Indiana. Destination: Camp Higher Ground.
This camp isn't about tying square knots, pitching a tent or roasting marshmallows. It's strictly business out at this camp. And, the business is football...eat...lift weights....meetings...and more football. Head Football Coach Butch Jones removes his team from the distractions of campus where players, coaches and staff can really develop a tight knit, team atmosphere with a focus on Big East Football.

In this ASAP Video Exclusive, Head Strength Coach Dave Lawson and Assistant Michael Szerszen and ASAP Video Director Ed Cicale discuss the nuts and bolts of the strength training setup at Camp Higher Ground... and some of the basic training fundamentals employed by the UC Strength Staff to get the Bearcats game ready. After a victorious and impressive season opening contest, Cincinnati heads to Knoxville this week to take on the Tennessee Vols. Then, a few more non-conference games along with the rigors of the Big East schedule to follow. No doubt that all of the hard work, team building and strength training at Camp Higher Ground should pay off.   ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Video Productions
