2012 Michigan State Spartan Strength Clinic: February 10th and 11th

Time is running out! There's only a few more days now until the Michigan State Strength Clinic. I have been attending clinics like this since 1982 and I have to proclaim these MSU strength seminars as the best as far as accommodations, learning environment, networking with fellow colleagues, and also the practical coaching ideas that can be taken back to our individual situations...wherever that might be. Most coaches aspire to greatness.... and touring the facilities and observing professionals at work is always a great motivator. You're not going to find a more knowledgeable staff who are willing to share their ideas and collaborate on this type of level. Truly one of the elite programs in all of collegiate sports! It doesn't happen by chance.... it's the people and the character that is there in East Lansing. Hope to see you there....

I have been to the first four MSU Spartan Strength & Conditioning Clinics and somehow they make it better and even more informative every year. This year's line up promises to be another special event for strength training professionals, students, trainers, physical therapists and personal trainers. Clinic Director Mike Vorkapich does an exceptional job organizing and getting the clinic off the ground. The speaking line-up is always top notch...this year will be no different with the likes of Head MSU Strength Coach Ken Mannie, Dan Riley, Ken Leistner, Jason Arapoff, Mike Joseph, Paul Harker, Gabe Harrington and Scott Hayes.

Additionally, just being inside the Spartan Strength Training Complex is enough to motivate. It's tied for first on my list of top college weight rooms that I have seen...coast to coast!

For all of the details and to access the REGISTRATION FORM just click on the Spartan Photo above. The clinic takes place at the Clara Bell Smith Academic Center right across from Spartan Stadium. It's a comfortable, climate controlled auditorium style learning environment with desk format to place electronic learning devices and laptops and notebooks. The practical "lab work" takes place in the Spartan Weight Room within Duffy Daugherty Building.

ASAP Video: at University of Kentucky Basketball Conditioning 2010 [video #80]

It was hot. It was humid. A typical mid summer afternoon in Lexington, Kentucky. Steamy. (ASAP's #1 Canon High Def video camera shut down after being in air conditioning all morning) The Wildcat football squad had just finished up a weight training session. Then, in comes the youthful basketball team. Don't forget, the Kentucky Wildcats just sent an unprecedented five first round picks to the National Basketball Association's (NBA) First Round. So, this is a young team that Coach Calipari will send out to the hardwood this year. But these young guys work hard! No question. And, they have skills!
This workout may have sent the average guy to the UK Med Center. Yet, Head Trainer Chris Simmons never waivered. He knew this bunch of guys could handle the adverse conditions, while at the same time, the players would acclimate to the training. There was plenty of ice cold Gatorade on hand and the strength staff monitored the players' heart rates with the Polar heart rate monitors.... exercise physiology at its finest here in Lexington.
Meanwhile, strength coach Mike Malone took the helm...literally, as he rode the Ram Sled that the players were driving from one end of the football field to the other.  Isn't the Ram Sled a football thing? Not at Kentucky! As you'll see in this exclusive ASAP Video..... our 75th video.

Interval Training and the "Half Gasser" Test at Michigan State University

This ASAP Video on Interval Training was produced in East Lansing, Michigan with Michigan State University's Head Strength Coach Ken Mannie. He's into his 16th year at MSU and 27th working with NCAA Division 1 football players. Coach Mannie has worked with many championship level coaches over the years, including Nick Saban and present Spartan Head Football Coach Mark Dantonio.  Mannie is on the ASAP Advisory Board.

Coach describes what Interval training is....how it works.... and why it is so effective. You'll also see a few Spartans running some "Half Gassers", which is running the width of the football field, touching the line with your foot, and then returning back to the original starting line..... for a total of 106 yards. Coach also explains what the desired times that need to be attained are... according to what position the athlete plays on the squad.
