The magazine showed pictures of Russian weightlifters performing the lift on a pommel horse in front of wooden stall bars.<br>American weightlifter Bud Charniga saw the article and decided to include the new exercise in his exercise arsenal.  What I did was take a padded car seat andnail it to a carpenters bench. I then placed it in front of my power rack and hooked my ankles underneath my barbell so that I wouldn t tip over. <br>Because the car seat Charniga used was padded and had a much sharper curve than the pommel horses the Russians were using, he noticed something unusual.  I noticed that when I did the execise, the curved surface of the car seat helped me flex my knees more so that I could get a greater range of motion. Although you can t directly attribute all his lifting success to one exercise, it should be noted tha in 1974 after Charniga began performing the exercise, he snatched 352 pounds, only 5 pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division.<br>In 1979 Charniga visited Russia ad found that every gym he looked in had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the training of Russian weightlifters. He saw that weightlifters would often perform some variation of the exercise twice in a workout, once before the workout with light weights as a warm-up, and again at the end of the workout with heavy weights as a strengthening exercise. This sensible practice was also followed in the U.S. In fact, five-time nattonished me, it has been with me ever since. <br>To help defray the costs of attending college, both Brenda and Lindsay were able to receive academic scholarships---which was n economic necessity sinc neither Harvard nor Brown gives athletic schlarships. Says Brenda,  I think the explanation is they re trying to attract people with diverse qualities and talents, and it wouldgo against their principles for them to say they re going to give an athletic scholarship as opposed to a scholarship to the best violinist in the United States, or whatever field that person stands out in. <br>Lindsay and Brenda excelled both academically and athletically atteir respective campuses, which only goes to disprove the widespread notion that great athletes cannot perform equally well in academics. Brenda remembers,  Every year after spring break the Harvard track team would run in two meets in Houston. When inevitably we were asked what school we were from and we said Harard, people would say,  Harvard has a track team? And of course whenever our Harvard athletes won their events, everyone was just shocked. <br>Although many superstar athletes would argue that acaemics interferes with their tam developers. Because we had to work with nearly 1,000 athletes, the Academy needed to purchase equipment that was durable, functional and versatile. Th{TkW箅zGfmr>ޕr9m?
