Don t you get a little tired of this?<br>Hamman: A little bit, but you have to put up with that with the media. They love big guys, and they love that big guys eat a lot. Another thing they like to do is compare me to things, like  His chest is as big around as a tree trunk, instead of just sticking to the facts.<br> <br>BFS: That being said, you re 5 9 and 370 pounds. How is your health?<br>Hamman: It s really good, and I get regular full physicals.<br><br>BFS: Do you know how many calories you do eat on average?<br>Hamman: I had my diet tested three days in a row by our sports nutritionist. I don t remember the exact results, but it sure wasn t anything like 10,000 calories a day!<br><br>BFS: Do you have a special diet?<br>Hamman: For me, my diet is high protein/high sugar. The high sugar sounds ridiculous, but whenever I ve tried to get off sugar and chocolate, my lifts fall apart, so I have to keep my sugar up.<br><br>BFS: What does your sports nutritionist say about that?<br>Hamman: I don t tell her!<br><br>BFS: You talked about how you liked the drug testing in powerlifting. How tough is the drug testing in Olympic lifting?<br>Hamman: We have the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and I get drug tested randomly probably 18 times a year, and then I m tested at every competition. One USADA requirement is letting them know where I am at all times. If I m not where I m supposed to be when they come to drug test me, that s one notch against me, and three misses like that and it counts as a positive drug test. There s no way that a USADA athlete can hide from drug testing.<br><br>BFS: Do you think Olympic lifting will ever shake the common perception that all the ood Olympic lifters are taking drugs?<br>Hamman: I don t know. It s really starting to clean up, and they have formed the World Anti-Doping Association, which is doing some international drug testing. It will never be totally clean no sport is ever going to be totally clean but as for the top lifters in the US, there s absolutely no way that we can take drugs because of how often we re drug tested. Most other countries don t have the random tests like us, so it woutera was the absolute strongest, Bruce Wilhelm [the first American to snatch 400 pounds] trained the hardet, Thanh Nguyen had the most natural talent, Ken Clark had the most determination, and Mario Matinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics] had the most success. <br>In addition to developing new talent, Schmitz was also able to rejuvenate the careers of many lfters who had suffered slumps. For example, Tom Hirtz s lifting had stagnated for several years until he came to Schmitz. Hirtz went on to eventually set an American record in the snatch of 342 pounds at 181 pounds bodyweight. Mark Cameron, already an accomplished lifter, moved to San Francisco to train with Schmitz for five months and soon afterwards clean and jerked 501.5 pounds while competing in the 242-pound bodyweight class. <br>One quality that sets Schmitz apart is that he has been able to work especially well with super heavyweights, having coached three of the four Americans who have clean and jerked 500 pounds. In addition to coaching Patera, Wilhelm and Cameron, he also coached John Bergman (396 snatch, 496 clean and jerk) and Tom Stock (391 snatch, 490 clean and jerk).  Superheavys have to train a little differently because they have big bodies they re lifting as well as the big weights, says Schmitz.  Their recovery is different and for a lot of them there are differences in their flexibility and their speed. I ve been lucky to have the supers that I ve had, but with two Olympians in the lighter classes (Cantore and Nguygen, who both weighed less than 150 pounds) I ve proven I can coach these athletes =L#q5^mv4NIS` o$ (@'|Ԣ8+fb[, we\DjAjaG_)SwjUc籯M >[bZbÇh;b;پ"w'NGÕHF*pcî+ ث9͗(w%rȥ~.lUF RHbBHBUn?|pѝ "baJ[y2AuQ4,c[ۏ@.BXAey^FV,K31$NᕺQ"~(h@{t\A(UYCW-ZG*Fsc1V; {f'*+SE <22늻@`UA\q;u(qf^e?qyaT1Wfl/x6iP*{6eܮ efV #>y0F5w͊X7bzb\RJxb޼*(T=ʝ[î*M1tv^x-s?HEzt1t,P{b;^D> l'kkXnWU}E2Ӷ
