It was simple, but quite radical at the time: <BR>Stretch, lift hard with free weights, vary your workouts, and concentrate on the big multi-joint lifts that develop the legs and hips. You've got to do that, plus add sprinting and jump training.<BR>This means that all athletes, regardless of their sport, should focus their strength training on the squat and the power clean. These lifts may be augmentd by doing a few, but only a few, auxiliary lifts. And the lifting and stretching should be complemented by doing speed and plyometric jump drills. Simple ideas, but the best.<BR><BR>The First BFS Athletes <BR><BR>The next contribution to BFS as it exists today came from my experiences from taking what I learned from George back to my high school. In 1970 I was a coach at Sehome High School in Bellingham, Washington. Sehome's enrollment of 1,400 nudged us into being considered a "big school," but it was among the smallest in its classification. Despite our size, we won the unofficial state championship against a school with almost twice our enrollment. Our athletes were simply too good -- the only thing the opposing team could produce in that championship game was minus 77 yards! I also coached track, and 11 of our guys could throw the discus between 140 and 180 feet. If you couldn't throw 155 feet, you were a JV guy; to this day I don't believe any high school has ever been able to say that. And we had bunches of kids who could bench 300, squat 400 and power clean 250 pounds -- lih<ᚈ-Es>j-xJ$$x1EWg¥A ֶ0՞{awז)\cx`&hNaV8flA.ZIm˨JKm3U<Q@qq\$ dJ*hC| /ּh1\hNOƼKӥյ;{r['ֺ091_!2`q^huB/Ggoo^kF9=)m"ms$c$lC 9+KibB}G)Z2=9Zόn9tVu AVgG6pچm LwQ'ߡMIbmLec迟Z讼 D6$C?*j] tU?: VN$IozAe6U PggKx@F3yۜ-Fֵafs$;Ľj֚ߊmRNd(f@8V>hiwg{-z`drrW[;˟ nUB[|[MBZ uOQ~LMEq<T>Qr5P˹o3֬[jڅ).Hh[숶Znf۾YHkN8ԭέ^WԭMqqClB#VRz?ta]i&o<㱷}ߗ#5tQںWy\Lwedi[]+s(<ܞF:zm˝LUف+kپjVNi#2'!FNcnݍhKFŋj.嵉@ @zozvm':^/$B++Pc{UP9a3Km`\m-QoccKH+SROn_N2IH-5K2D6IVkeZ9I39Ɠ=/+1M9)IdxPW+#V; 6 %$8nu;PCNrG9d~ilK~u^9*4+y /Ě< aEdzz=X ^Iyi}Fm`.HGݷM|! kT>^)ꥵ+e4$TZ-u=>" O2ǜY#ֻ:hܲ3G5ГB"(QHAEPHTȥ kKwc?UlU)X y+\ͱ1Yw |7pIm2c ]e~;m?$aMfM6t{3AOTRK|"{5{&X'׊worked with also saw dramatic turnarounds in their programs.<BR>In between my football jobs in Washington and Idaho, I was hired as the strength coach at Brigham Young University. At BYU I did a movie called Bigger Faster Stronger. The movie was a hit, and the secret was out nationwide. Football coaches nationwide began doing the BFS program, but even so, it seemed to be a slow process. It was also amazing to me that coaches from other sports just could not get it.<BR>In December of 1981, I was hired by the Utah Jazz to be their strength coach. At that time I was the only strength coach in the NBA. I, along with my BFS partner Bob Rowbotham, was with the Utah Jazz for 16 years. Pro baseball did not start hiring strength coaches until the 1990s. Even today, if you took all the high school athletes in all the boys' and girls' sports, you would still find that less than half possess the key to becoming bigger, faster and stronger. It is very simple -- if you want to make your success happen and unlock your full potential as an athlete, you must use the key. <BR>Today, about 95 percent of college strength coaces use the methods I learned from George in one form or another. The remaining five percent focus on a different approach, with injury prevention as the pr6|z_ hԅ 'NKՐ.Q"QZo,u~jt&IxUT}O:cXVuX\բC'T{͠1ּ7\n; qi:kw2:6FwTBpѱV٩(x5Tj4}\Jh(:U]d+:46h5uR*^;1F?(ZtOfE)-H]U&5>?V}%? zo $ymPVA^{uiXpB*¢JBMJjr׋:5TnKZ(Jd<7D&(MGw|qr!P ?js=TJ" MCP
