Although isolation exercises are important to bodybuilders and are often used in the early stages of rehabilitation, these exercises subject the muscles and other soft tissues to high levels of stress. In fact, Nancy Kerrigan's physical therapist literally threw his expensive leg extension machine in a dumpster because he found it was often doing more harm than good!<br>The workouts in the BFS program consist primarily of what strength coaches often call  economical exercises, which are exercises that involve multiple muscle groups. The bench press is an example of an economical exercise because it involves the pectorals, shoulders and triceps. For the lower body, one of the best exercises that work the hamstrings is the glute-ham raise.<br>The glute-ham raise begins as a standard back extension, the difference being that after the lower back becomes parallel to the floor, the athlete continues the movement by bending the knees. This additional movement involves the knee extension (bending) function of the hamstrings, whereas the first part of the exercise primarily works the hip extension function of the hamstrings. To perform this exercise comfortably, the machines used for this purpose have a rounded pad.<br>One person who helped popularized the glute-ham exercise was Bud Charniga, a weightlifter who in 1974 snatched 352 pounds, only five pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division. Charniga developed a homemade version of the glute-ham machine after reading an article in a 1971 issue of Strength and Health. Eight years later when he visited Russia, he found that every gym he visited had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the training of Russian weightlifters.<br>Charniga's glute-ham bench consisted of a padded car seat nailed to a carpenter's bench. He placed the bench in front of his power rack, and hooked his legs underneath a barbell so he wouldn't tip over. BFS has refined this design, and recently introduced the roller glute-ham, an adjustable machine that offers the benefit of a round pad that rotates as the athlete moves.<br>The window of opportunity an athlete has to achieve optimal performance is all too brief, and it's a shame to see athletes shorten that time even more by suffering from hamstring injuries. Make sure you don't hamstring yourself by overtraining. Instead, work out smart with core exercises, post-stretching and proper technique.t alone for one whole second. You must  Be Tall and stay erect. You must  Spread the Chest at all times to keep the lower back locked into place. Figures #11 & #12 shows Matt rocking forward and up to complete the lift. You should even try to rise up on the toes at the very end to complete a full extension. It would be like a calf raise but done in a coordinated, fluid motion like a form tackle or jumping movement. Although, it is important to be in control. You would not want to take a light weight and jump up in the air. <br><br><br>SOME OTHER MISTAKES<br><br>Never round the lower back as shown in Figure #13. Always Be Tall and Spread the Chest as in Figure #14. Never take your feet off the floor or raise your heels off the floor when settling or rocking backas shown in Figure #15.

Matt is now 26 and works at BFS.)<br><br>WHY WE BOX SQUAT<br><br>The benefits of doing the Box Squat are enormous. So enormous they give anyone a distinct advantage o
