2014 HIT Resurgence Conference Minneapolis Minnesota

Our longtime coaching colleague, Kim Wood will be one of the featured speakers at this upcoming clinic!

The HIT Resurgence Conference (February 28-March 1st) brings together the world's top researchers, strength coaches, and practitioners from every walk of the exercise industry to discuss strength training research, implementation, and benefits ranging from chronic disease prevention, athletic performance, and improved physical function. In addition to presenting the current scientific research revolving around resistance training, the conference also ties in the incredibly rich heritage of Nautilus and HIT training principles and how this heritage impacts the entire fitness industry today. This conference is perfect for strength coaches, personal trainers, and practitioners who want to be on the cutting edge of "evidence-based" practice as well as Nautilus devotees that remember and understand the rich history of Arthur Jones and the movement that he created over 40 years ago. The conference is a great opportunity to earn CEU's through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In addition to 8 presentations, the conference also features an early morning workout, breakout sessions covering a variety of "practical" topics, and an attendee social on Friday night. The conference takes place at the picturesque Marquette Hotel Conference Center positioned at the top floor of Minneapolis's tallest building.

ASAP "Best of" Michigan State Football Strength Videos and Photos & Big Ten Champs Strength Clinic Info

January 19th 2014: The 2013 Big Ten Champions and 2014 Rose Bowl Champions are set for their annual clinic in East Lansing. Find out the foundation and mindset of this winning college football strength program and The Michigan State Spartans who ended up ranked #3 in the final polls of the 2013 season.

Nov 7 2014: Here are the latest photos from our in-depth look into the MSU Football training program. ASAP recently checked in at one of college football's premier programs and with one of the more revered strength coaches in the game today.... Ken Mannie. He's been at it for thirty years, the last nineteen with the Spartans at Michigan State. He's had many of the players whom he's trained, move on to the NFL. Yet, more importantly to him, he's more proud of the program that he's developed in East Lansing, where the prevailing attitude is to "Earn The Jersey." Championships... bowl wins.... and presently, the Spartans sit atop the "Legends" Division in the Big Ten Conference. This poised Michigan State squad is on a collision course with an appearance in this year's Big Ten Championship game and they have their sites on the 100th Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio.
