ASAP BASEBALL PODCAST with MLB Pitcher Bronson Arroyo

ASAP Podcaster Ed Cicale caught up with former MLB star pitcher Bronson Arroyo. The 6'5 finesse thrower spent the bulk of his career with the Cincinnati Reds. However, prior to that time the strength training enthusiast spent time with the Boston Red Sox where he had the opportunity to pitch in a World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
During an eight year stint with Cincinnati, Arroyo never missed a start in manager Dusty Baker's pitching rotations. He followed an extensive training plan in Cincinnati with then @REDS Strength & Conditioning Coach Matt Krause, where the two devised a meticulous program that accounted for strength training and conditioning, elbow and rotator cuff specialization, recovery and sports nutrition. He appeared in 419 games with 383 Major League starts!

Strength Coach Matt Krause...on Shoulder Strengthening

Former Reds and Yankees Strength & Conditioning Coach Matt Krause and star pitcher Bronson Arroyo explained this shoulder strengthening routine to me and it's been a great addition to many athletes' programs. It's a great way to get your shoulders, especially the rotator cuff region, prepared for some serious strength training....... or some throwing!
Krause, who isn't a native of Cincinnati, has certainly developed an affinity for one of the Queen City's favorites. And that is Skyline Chili. That's where the locals get their chili in the form of a "3-way," "4-way" and the ultimate "5-way." So, Matt aptly named this regular shoulder strengthening routine used in the workouts by the Cincinnati Reds players the:

"5-Way Shoulder Routine" .... it's Skyline Time!
Matt Krause is presently the President of the Professional Baseball Strength & Conditioning Coaches Society~ PBSCCS He is also is the owner and director of OnMilk™

ANTIMICROBIAL COPPER CULEAN® STRENGTH EQUIPMENT

Five months into this COVID-19 chronicle of shutdowns and testings and masks and re-openings, there now appears to be minute amount of light at the end of the tunnel. Soon, things will be moving back to 20,000 fans at Ohio Stadium for Buckeye Football. The New York Yankees game but no fans in attendance. The NBA in Orlando. Seems hard to grasp. But now reality.
Lucky for me, I have tons of archived training footage and photos, and I'll be adjusting with more ZOOMed ASAP~Podcasts.
But for the strength and conditioning professionals out there, art and science is approaching a collision course. Coronavirus testing formats have changed the strength training groups and the way the training is assembled is the first noticeable change. Facility cleaning is in hyper mode. Every crevice in a training center could hold in germs.
So, now's the time to take a closer examination of the tools that we use in training our athletes. Just the other day, I was able to connect with Tom Grace, a long time strength and conditioning equipment professional who is presently located in Vancouver, Washington with his wife, Juanita . Their business is known as Black Iron Strength and they may just have one of the most time-relevant, innovative products available to the strength and conditioning industry. A complete line of antimicrobial copper strength training equipment. This is the wave of the future. Check it out:

www.BLACKIRONSTRENGTH.com

What is Antimicrobial Copper CuLEAN® by CuVerro®?

Many ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks, recognized the inherent antimicrobial properties of copper. Copper-lined vessels were used to sterilize drinking water. Copper compounds were used to treat wounds and infections. With the recent outbreaks of untreatable infections including MRSA, which is often traced back to the work out facility. Black Iron Strength® took the ancient technology of copper and applied it to strength equipment. With this patented technology, Black Iron Strength® is the only equipment manufacturer to offer to offer free weight equipment with copper touch points. Copper surfaces by CuVerro® has been shown to kill more than 99% of bacteria within two hours of contact. Given that bacteria can survive on surfaces for months, Black Iron Strength® prefers to use CuLEAN® Antimicrobial Copper on their products and equipment. It is simply the best material for all surfaces as bacteria cannot thrive or survive on it.

ASAP Podcast with TEAMBUILDR Founder Hewitt Tomlin

TEAMBUILDR, one of our longtime ASAP sponsors, has continued to make some great strides in the strength training and conditioning business, even during a COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, their industry leading online strength & conditioning software has become even more of a game changer for strength coaches everywhere. While the Tennessee Vols, West Virginia Mountaineers and the Golden State Warriors strength and conditioning programs have been major players who have reaped the rewards of using TEAMBUILDR, many other high schools, college programs and professional teams are now under the TEAMBUILDR umbrella. And as a matter of fact, the most fiscally successful and most prominent collegiate athletic program in all of sports, the Ohio State University Buckeyes, have signed on with Hewitt Tomlin's TEAMBUILDR, as Coach Mickey Marotti is delving into the software.

In the ASAP Podcast, our initial attempt at a ZOOM recording, TEAMBUILDR founder Hewitt Tomlin explains the many advantages of using this powerful coaching tool, which is becoming even more beneficial during a shutdown that has left a strength coaching fraternity scrambling for ways to train their athletes from a distance.

The Strength & Conditioning Clinic

It's strength clinic time and there are several reasons to get to one. For one, I've never been to a clinic where I did not return home with something newly added to my coaching toolbox. Fresh content! For example:

Some new techniques and coaching points to use when coaching your athletes.
Or, another way to incorporate certain exercises or lifts into the scope of the training program.
Are my athletes too young to try that lift and will it require too much time and coaching to stir it into the entire training program?
Should our program be a three day per week workout or a four day split? What's Coach Brady Collins' philosophy at Cincinnati Bearcats?
Where should we place our Pit Shark® for optimal use?
What are the pros and cons of choosing a POWERLIFT rack as opposed to the Sorinex model?
How can I educate the entire coaching staff at our school so that we're on the same page?
What is Coach Kenn's purpose for coaching the athletic position?
Our players need more toughness! How does Coach Marotti instill this with his Buckeyes/
Yoga??? It's definitely a piece that needs to be incorporated into our program. How can we add this into our workouts?
How does Coach Ken Mannie develop his Spartan "earned, never given" philosophy?
My star running back plays basketball AND baseball. Now what???
Our athletic director approved our new TRX TRAINING order. How does Coach Matusz choose which TRX exercise to use on a given day?
I never want to move those racks and machines again!!! Never again! What makes REGUPOL ® Sports Flooring by SPECATHLETIC the best?
How often does Coach Dave Lawson suggest that our players squat HEAVY?
What are the features that make TEAMBUILDR®, the premier online strength & conditioning software, a terrific concept for training evaluation, standard and goal setting & athlete performance tracking.
How did strength coach Dr.Ted Lambrinides prepare a young Kentucky Wildcats Basketball squad for their NCAA National Championship run in 2012, a team that include, now NBA superstar Anthony Davis?
Basketball is a long season, how does long time veteran strength coach Shaun Brown keep his West Virginia Mountaineers Basketball squad strong, yet fresh during the season?
What's Coach Al Johnson's advice on strength training during fall camp?
How does WVU Mountaineers Head Football Strength Coach Mike Joseph design his program when taking into account the recovery that's necessary between workout?

ASAP Strength Podcast with Cincinnati Bengals (ret) Strength Coach Kim Wood

Coach Kim Wood spent thirty years as a coach with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was hired by the venerable founder and first coach of the @Bengals Paul Brown. Keep in mind that this was during the Bengals' hey day, as the team appeared in two Super Bowls, one of which San Francisco 49er stars Joe Montana and Jerry Rice led hall of fame type performances in the final minutes to take the win out of the grasp of the Cincinnati Bengals, quarterback Boomer Esiason and their head coach Sam Wyche. That left Kim Wood to reload the weightroom jukebox at the "spartan" Spinney Field weightroom and rearrange the power racks, wooden jerk boxes and Hammer Strength machines.
Coach Wood has been a regular guest for the ASAP Strength Podcast features and his most popular podcasts (all-time) PLAY tally continue to keep a narrow lead over Alex Marvez, SiriusXM NFL Radio host and Pro Football Hall of Fame voter. Kind of a big deal!

In this podcast, Kim Wood reminisces about the former Bengals coach Sam Wyche who recently succumbed to complications with melanoma.

We also discuss:

the 2020 NCAA College Football National Championship match-up
The NFL Play-offs
the late Bengal head coach Sam Wyche
the upcoming 2020 Michigan State Strength & Conditioning Clinic
His son, John Wood will be a speaker/presenter at the Michigan State Strength Clinic, his Iron League, Oldtime Strongman Functional Hand Strength websites

The 2020 Michigan State Spartans Annual Strength & Conditioning Clinic

Michigan State Strength Clinic: February 7 & 8th 2020

It's that time again to plan for professional development. Michigan State Football Strength & Conditioning, is presently prepping for its annual S & C Clinic that's to be conducted on February 7th and 8th of 2020.
Clinic Director Mike Vorkapich, Spartan Assistant Strength Coach, has assembled quite a strong list of clinicians that includes Ted Lambrinides who will serve as the Master of Ceremonies at The MSU Spartans Annual Strength & Conditioning Clinic at Michigan State University on February 7th and 8th 2020. Ted has spoken from coast to coast over the last 38 years on everything under the umbrella of sports and exercise science. Before embarking on his professional career, Lambrinides completed undergraduate, graduate and post graduate studies at The Ohio State University. He served for nine years as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach for the Buckeyes, his alma mater, and at The University of Kentucky. He's been been called upon as a guest speaker to many major college football programs where he's given streetwise and upfront talks to athletes about "Drugs, Supplements and Personal Conduct".

Ted was able to continue sports science research as he coordinated the Exercise Physiology Department at Thomas More College....tweaking his methodologies while training many of the top athletes in the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State Region. As a sports performance consultant, Coach Lambrinides has provided expertise on performance training and ergogenic aids to numerous collegiate and professional football and basketball programs. He's frequented practically every SEC and Big Ten program and most NFL teams as well.

I have been to the MSU Spartan Strength & Conditioning Clinics since their inception 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. It's an excellent opportunity for professional development and updating necessary CEU requirements for CSCCa and NSCA. Clinic Director Mike Vorkapich does an exceptional job organizing and getting the clinic off the ground. The speaking line-up is always top notch and this year will be no different as Head MSU Spartans Strength Coach Ken Mannie, Coach Lambrinides and the clinic staff will get attendees motivated to return to their respective sites with a renewed perspective for establishing updated goals for their programs.

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.
