This Belgian behemoth was the first man to snatch 400 pounds and was considered the greatest rival of the most famous weightlifter of all time, Vasily Alexeyev. Siff saw Reding squat, all the way down, without wraps, 880 pounds for 5 reps and perform repeated jumps a foot off the ground while holding 286 pounds in his hands!  When Serge Reding stayed with our family, he shared an enormous amount of material with me, recallsSiff.  He stressed that  core exercises (such as the squat and power clean) were of little value if even one minor muscle group is weak and lets you down in competition. <br> <br> From Pommel Horse <br>to Car Seat<br><br>Although the glute-ham raise had been used by European athletes since the turn of the century, American athletes were introduced to it in 1971 through trength and Health magazine. The magazine showed pictures of Russian weightlifters performing the lift on a pommel horse in front of wooden stall bars.<br>American weightlifter Bud Charniga saw the article and decided to include the new exercise in his exercise arsenal.  What I did was take a padded car seat and nail it to a carpenter s bench. I then placed it in front of my power rack and hooked my ankles underneath my barbell so that I wouldn t tip over. <br>Because the car seat Charniga usedle to thoroughly integrate the BFS program into the school curriculum. "We teach seven weight training classes a day and they are open to anyone with a burning desire to become bigger, faster and stronger. We look at these classes as upper-level PE classes, and take them just as seriously as our Algebra and English teachers take their classes."<br><br>Weightlifting is also a competitive sport at Washington County, and the school goes to at least one weightlifting competition a year. "We usually take two teams, an elite team and another team for anyone who wants to go, and we've never lost," says Tomberlin. "In fact, two years ago we took six girls and two won their weight classes against boys!"<br><br>The Master Motivator<br><br>To keep his players motivated during the off-season, Tomberlin has initiated such award programs as "Lifter of the Week" and T-shirts for perfect attendance in the voluntary summer program. He also gives Super Hawk engraved baseball caps to players who he says "have really laid it on the line" in the weightroom. And thn there's the most prestigious award, the Golden Hawk, which is given to the player the coaching staff believes "best represents the attitude we have in the off-season." For this presentation, Tomberlin brings out television and newspaper media and gives the athlete a plaque to commemorate the experience. This year the winner of the Golden Hawk was quarterback Terrence Edwards, who was also selected as the Gatorade Circle of Champions Player of the Year for Georgia.<br><br>Tomberlin played football at Florida State, bu budget, to have someone make a sophisticated glute-ham developer for them. When Charniga returned to the U.S. and told others of his findings and his success with the exercise himself resourceful equipment manufacturers began experimenting with designs for a glute-ham developer. The BFS glute-ham developer, with its adjustable foot plat and rounded pelvic support represents the latest in the evolution of this apparatus.<br>The glute-ham exercise is a must for every serious strength training program. When I was hired as a strength coach for the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1987, my first day on the job I ordered two BFS glute-ham developers. Because we had to work with nearly 1,000 athletes, the Academy needed to purchase equipment that was durable, functional and versatile.
