Cincinnati Reds Strength & Conditioning Coach Matt Krause hosted his first strength and conditioning clinic last week... many very good speakers on hand. That list included Bronson Arroyo, Chip Morton (Bengals), Billy Hatcher, Michele Macedonio (Nutritionist) and Dr. Timothy Kremchek, the team orthopedic physician of the Cincinnati Reds. That gave us the opportunity to talk about the rotator cuff, etc. for this ASAP Athletic Strength And Power Podcast. Just click on the ASAP Logo to hear and/or download this exclusive interview. Or, the gray podcast player below. There is also the Youtube version, too. For further information, Dr. Kremchek would be more that happy to take emails at: Kremchek@aol.com
When your football schedule includes the Florida Gators, the LSU Tigers and the South Carolina Gamecocks.... and in successive weeks, there's no time to be wasted on kickin' back and enjoying the summer. Like most major college programs, Ray "Rock" Oliver and Ted Lambrinides have a countdown clock in their Kentucky Wildcat Strength Training complex at the E.J. Nutter Training Facility. But time seems to tick a little faster in this part of Lexington, where Kentucky Wildcat players and staff prepare for the rigors of another Southeastern Conference (SEC) football season. ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power headed down I-75 South and found out what was going on in the weight room and out on the practice fields. As you'll see in the exclusive, behind the scenes footage, there's some serious work being done.... including a new flair this summer with the "Thursday Night Lights" conditioning program.... a definite high energy, highly charged effort of agility stations, quickness drills and Ram Sleds being pushed and pulled up and down the fields at breakneck speeds.
Now you'll have time to sit back and check out some of the high definition ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Sports Performance and Training Videos. Strength Training segments filmed on location at: The University of Cincinnati, The University of Florida, The Ohio State University, Michigan State University.... the Cincinnati Reds. The list goes on. ASAP will be getting more as we soon venture out to the Rose Bowl.
We at ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power, extend our condolences to the family, friends, and teammates of Chris Henry. A popular trainee at The Workout at Covington, Chris always took time to talk to athletes in training, parents and supporters at The Workout. Occasionally, you could see Chris signing an autograph or two for some neighborhood kids near our training facility in Covington. We'll remember him, especially in his comeback as he strived to return to one of the things that he loved the most.... NFL football.

Today's Video is brought to you by: One Source Optimal Nutrition
Athletic Strength And Power heads to field level for this ASAP Educational Series Performance Video. Head Strength Coach Mickey Marotti prepares this top ranked University of Florida football squad for a game against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Coach Marotti got his start at the Ohio State University... back in the mid-eighties. There he worked as a G.A. for the strength training program devised by present day ASAP Program Director Ted Lambrinides and former Head Strength Coach Steve Bliss. Later, Marotti played an instrumental role at the University of Cincinnati, where he served as head strength coach there. He also helped propel the Bearcats Basketball teams back to national prominence. Marotti began training basketball coach Bob Huggin's hoops team as if they were football players! The intensity was incredible.... and it showed on the court, where UC players were dominate.... and also top ranked! Then, Mickey moved on to Notre Dame and instilled his hard nosed work ethic there, too. When Florida named Urban Meyer as their new football coach, Meyer sought out Marotti as the guy he "absolutely had to have" to train his Gators. Coach Marotti worked his trade at Florida...pushing his players, and demanding all out effort in the weight room. And, the system works. Two of college football's National Championships in three years.... and this season presently ranked #1 in the country. Congratulations Coach Marotti! Those championships were no accident.
On game day, along with his staff, Marotti becomes one of the top "get back" coaches in all the land. He is also an adviser to Coach Meyer as to the condition of players who have been dinged up during the game.This video depicts some behind the scenes looks at Coach Marotti at approximately 90 minutes prior to kick-off, as the Gators prepare.
Being suspended by the NFL is never easy....nor is spending 5 weeks--- 6 days a week with ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Program Director Ted Lambrinides. Yet, that's where the talented wide-out, Chris Henry, of the Cincinnati Bengals found himself: daily training sessions at The Workout @ Covington. The speedy receiver finished his last session on Saturday and rejoins Carson Palmer and the rest of his Bengals teammates on Monday in preparation for a game against the Dallas Cowboys. "I'm definitely ready to go." said a smiling Chris Henry who looked every bit of 6'4 and 200 pounds.
The workouts consisted of strength training exercises that were preceded by Dynamic Warm-ups, Flexibility Training, Strength and Power training.... and of course, shuttle runs.... lots of shuttle runs, gassers and Interval Training. Then there were the football specific drills and catching skill work, also.
