E1t(c?T_EXOj(!E@+Ҋ(BACK<br><br>Strengthening the lower back and abdominal areas is the second factor in preventing lower back injuries. Straight Leg Dead Lifts can have a remarkable positive effect in strengthening the lower back. Performing Squats, Hex Bar Dead Lifts and Cleans correctly can add great strength to the lower back as well. These exercises can also make the abdominals extremely strong. Specific  Ab work can be done in addition. <br> Remember to never twist out of position at any time during any lift. This can cause lower back injuries. Do not twist to get an extra rep. Don t even twist to get out of a Bench Press. Read your body and make a great decision when selecting a poundage. If you put on a weight that you are not ready for, the risk is higher for injury. Never sacrifice technique for a few extra pounds.<br> Picture 11 illustrates the Straight Leg Dead Lift. This is a top priority auxiliary exercise in the BFS Program. By purposely rounding the back, the lower back muscles can be isolated, stretched and strengthened. By strengthening these muscles, the chance of a serious lower back injury is significantly reduced and, if an injury does occur, recovery time is hastened. <br> Because the back is rounded, only light weight should be used. Advanced lifters should use no more than 40% of their Parallel Squat Max. Beginners use only 45 to 95 pounds. Keep the knees locked and go straight down in a very slow and controlled manner. <br>She earned World Cup points. Tricia has been to all but one track now on the international circuit. She will hit that remaining one this year. <br> This helps in the development of new skills, said Tricia. I race better at Park City because I know the track. Also, the more World Cup points you earn, the more spots you get on the team. Also, Tricia needs to compete to help with her chance to make the U.S. team. And compete she does - Tricia is becoming an international sensation. She won the U.S. National Championship again in 2001 while setting the Park City Olympic track record at 50.74 seconds. Tricia finished second at the World Cup event in LaPlange, France last December and third in Ingls, Austria. At the 2001 World Championships in Calgary, she repeated her third place finish from the previous year. All these competitions vaulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points for the 2001 season. <br>Tricia is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to make the Olympic team. And should she make it, she ll represent our nation with honor. She has gone to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality, said Tricia.  We focused on where my challenges are in sport. She gave me concrete things to try in an effort to create an environment where I can be my best. <br>While in Colorado Springs, Tricia received active release therapy (ART) to help a long-time hamstring injury. Dr. Leahy created this approach to muscle healing which strips off scar tissue and allows the muscles and tendons to move.  Essentially he digs his thumbs into my hamstrings as deep and hard as he can. Ouch! The process only takes about fifteen minutes and it is working. Tricia is more flexible than ever and Coach Snowden is able to do more and more hamstring exercises in the gym. <br> I admire Eric more than anyone I know, offered Tricia.  He has inspired me more than anyone else. He is 100% dedicated to hi
