However, since we are lifting with such a light weight, this criticism is totally unwarranted. <br> <br>Why do some criticize the rounded back approach? You can do the straight-leg dead lift with a straight back, but I feel you can also stretch the lower back with our technique and get a better hamstring stretch because you can go deeper with a rounded back. Criticism comes from the perceived danger, but that too is an unwarranted criticism because we are lifting with such a light weight. Look, it s like bending down and touching your toes, but you just have a little bit of weight in your hands to help you get a deeper stretch. It s not that big a deal.<br><br>An advanced technique<br><br>When you have brought the bar down as far as possible, pause and breathe out. As you do this, you may be able to stretch another inch or so before coming up. Remember, the more you improve your hamstring flexibility, the faster you should be able to sprint and the higher you should be able to jump. <br><br>A Powerlifting <br>SLDL Approach:<br><br>When I was lifting in powerlifting competition, I would do sets of five reps with 505 pounds. I found out about the pressure on the back of the knees and learned to bend them just slightly. My objective was to build a powerful lower back in order to withstand the tremendous stress of going for a big number on the dead lift in competition. I noticed that others who did not train for the dead lift in this manner would have a greater chance of having a sore back for a while. Figure Six shows a heavy straight-leg dead lift, which should be done with the knees slightly bent. <br><br>Another SLDL Athletic Approach:<br><br>The Romanian dead lift (Figure Seven) is a popular alternative as shown in Figure Six. Olympic lifters use this to aid their efforts in competition. Some strength coaches have adopted this lift effectively for their athletes. The knees are slightly bent and the lower back is straight. If your objective is to improve your clean or snatch, the Romanian dead lift is excellent and it also gives a good stretch to the hamstrings. However, it will not stretch the hamstrings like the BFS Straight-Leg Dead Lift. Nothing does. incorrect lifting techniques increse.<br><br>The Fifth Week: Now the fun of the BFS System moves into high gear. From now on every time you come into the weight room, you ve got a challenge and an objective. You should try to break as many Set and Rep Records as possible. You begin the 5th week by again doing the 3 X 3 workout. You will notice on the previous month s example, a total of 440 was achieved on the Towel Bench. Your objective is to simply do more!<br><br>AN EXAMPLE OF THE FIFTH WEEK TOWEL BENCH<br><br>Look what happened!! The Set Record was smashed by 70 pounds! In adition, a new 3 Rep Record was attained. (Refer to the example on the previous page) 180 pounds should be recorded under the 3rd Break column along with the 3/3 date.<br><br>*Many athletes like to try t break their 10 Rep Record after doing 3 X 3, since this is an easy week. This is called a  Burnout set. <br><br>WANT TO WIN? BREAK A RECORD!<br><br>The Sixth Week: Break your 5 X 5 Set Record! And as
