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.prove her score in the heptathlon to somewhere between 6500-6600 points. Her best so far is 6211 points. She and her coach, Craig Poole, both felt she was capable of doing it this past year had she not pulled her hamstring.<br>Tiffany graduated from BYU with a 3.1 GPA and received her degree in Recreation Management, in August 1998. Tiffany is now working on becoming a professional track athlete but finds it difficult because she currently does not have a sponsor. Unlike most other sports, where the athlete just signs a contract, track and field athletes must find sponsors to support them. In the meantime, she works in construction for her brother's business.<br>We would like to thank Tiffany for her hard work and good example. Continue to work hard and we wish you the best of luck. Go get it!rics such as depth jumps. If you're legs are not strong enough, you're just not going to be able to get that pop you need when you jump off a box. <br>Another key component of Bennett's program is box squats.  We teach our athletes to box squat right off the bat. Besides taking a lot of stress off the knees because you don't have such an acute knee-joint angle, it teaches you to sit way back. And because the box is going to gauge your depth, going deep enough never really becomes a problem. Obviously when we take the box out from under them there is some adjustment because your knees have to go more forward to make it more natural, but our technique just seems to be picture perfect. <br>Bennett got hooked on box squats through powerlifting guru Louie Simmons, one of the most accomplished powerlifting coaches in the world. Coach of the famous Westside Barbell Club in Columbus, Ohio, Simmons has trained dozens of world champions and world record holders.  I competed in powerlifting when I was at Virginia Tech, and at that time I read Louie's articles and visited him quite a bit, says Bennett.  I got involved with what Louie dis you can break. What would happen if you broke 8 personal records per week for one year? It kind of boggles the mind doesn t i
