ATHLETIC STRENGTH AND POWER

ASAP Podcast with Football Sports Performance Coach Tommy Moffitt

Former LSU longtime S&C
Coach Tommy Moffitt

One of the big highlights of the HAMMER STRENGTH Clinic that was conducted at the Spooky Nook Athletics Complex in Hamilton, Ohio was the presentation on the opening night by Coach Tommy Moffitt. Basically, he laid out the infrastructure of his championship performance program that had the LSU Fighting Tigers fighting for and winning the big games and the big prizes. He's been in the strength & conditioning field for over thirty years. At Louisiana State for 23 years and prior to there, he'd been at Tennessee Vols and the Miami Hurricanes.

HAMMER STRENGTH CLINIC 

So, I guess it's a no-brainer that the Hammer Strength Clinic roped in the accomplished Tommy Moffitt. And, the clinic was the perfect time to catch an Athletic Strength And Power Podcast recording with Coach Moffitt. We talked strength training and conditioning an discussed how he used Polar heart rate monitors with the Tigers at LSU when conducting speed and conditioning workouts.

Currently, Moffitt has a strength & conditioning website called The Moffitt Method. It looks like a great resource for coaches & athletes and can even merge with TEAMBUILDR, the online strength & conditioning software.  In addition, he has a podcast that he records every Wednesday!

Copper Inactivates the Virus that Causes COVID-19 in One Minute

Professor C. W. Keevil of the University of Southampton is the senior author of a important paper on the rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on copper surfaces.  This paper reports that SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the current COVID-19 pandemic, is inactivated in as little as one minute by copper alloy C110 (99.90% Cu).  

 

The paper that was published on January 2, 2021, in bioRxiv, a rapid publication service with only editor's approval.  This fast method of publishing was selected in order to communicate the ability of copper to quickly inactivate this virus in a timely manner.  Readers are encouraged to recommend that copper alloys be deployed in the fight against COVID-19.

 

In addition, a new paper containing these findings and results will be submitted to another journal to undergo the more rigorous peer review process.

Experts on copper and microbiology recommend the expanded use of copper alloys
in public spaces to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and minimize future pandemics

CAN COPPER HELP FIGHT COVID-19?
