If the media would look at the statistics they d see that drug use is not as prevalent a problem as they think it is. In this country we get tested, out of competition,hing else to look forward to; instead of just lifting weights for football, now they're lifting for some type of competition."<br> Like most successful coaches, Stanford stresses the importance of teamwork and sharing the credit for every win with every player. However, he is proud of the fact that several players are considered candidates for scholarships. "We've got two players I know are going to be recruited heavily: Michael Goss, a wide receiver and running back; and Emmitt Ellis, a defensive end."<br>Weighing 185, Goss benches 320, squats 385, deadlifts 485 and runs a 4.5 forty. Last year he caught 34 passes for 1,004 yards, scored 17 touchdowns, and rushed 30 times for 420 yards. "Michael is probably the best athlete in the school. He also plays baseball, and probably will be drafted by the major leagues after his senior year."<br>Weighing 260, Ellis benches 340, squats 450, power cleans 250, runs a 5.2 forty, and last year was responsible for 102 tackles. "Emmitt uses his hands probably as good as anybody I've ever seen. He also has good upper body strength on the field. He works hard in th weightroom, but he's definitely got a lot of natural ability."<br>Also of note in the weightroom is defensive tackle Elliot Carter, their strongest player according to Stanford. At 5-foot-ten and 250 pounds, Carter benches 360, squats 500 and deadlifts 485.<br><br>Continuing the Tradition<br><br>If there's one thing Stanford would change about his weight program, it is the size of his weightroom. "I don't think you can ever have a big-enough weigtroom--no matter what you build, sooner or later it's too small. We've got a 3,000 square foot weightroom, but we work out every day and we have 60 kids at one time, sometimes as many as 80." <br>For its athletes, the school has weight training classes as part of the curriculum. "We're spending maybe a week or two every nine-week period to introduce the kids to the weights and what they can do."<br>With his panoramic view of the team over the past 13 years, does Stanford think the athletes have changed much? "They've changed over the years, but still r balance, so we worked a lot of antagonist muscles to the shot put, says Poliquin.  We did a lot of chin-ups, fat bar work, and a ot of work with partial movements, bands and lifting chains.  One reason that lifting chains work so well is they are one of the few methods that can improve both explosive power and maximal strength at the same time. Adds Nelson,  Chains force you to continually push yourself to accelerate though the lift, rather than keeping a steady pressure. We used them for core lifts such as inclines and squats. <br>This will give you an idea of how strong Nelson has become since addressing his health issues and using these unique training methods: When Nelson started with Poliquin, he could incline press 385 pounds using a 3-inch-thick bar; now he does 525. <br>Poliquin alters his training strategies to accommodate the requirements of various field athletes. He comments,  The different implements require different amounts of force in the force-velocity curve. In other words, the heavier the implement, the stronger the athlete has to be. The hammer throw requires more strength than the discus or javelin, and the shot put requires the most explosive strength. Thus, to use a simple example, a hammer thrower may need to concentrate more on the squat, whereas the shot-putter maa_Wp;}+8o[Z+ԉZh[܎kŸ TI
