The third section consists of ten platform stations for Olympic lifting movements, and the fourth section is a dumbbell area with two lines of dumbbells weighing up to 150 pounds. This year the weight training facilities for all athletes will expand so that this room will be devoted just to football.<br>Galt says his program is basically the same for all positions,  and the only athletes training really differently are the kickers and punters. For the first 45 minutes of the hour devoted to weight training, the core movements are the same for all players. These lifts include the bench press, incline bench press and military press for the upper body; and the clean, snatch, squat, step-up and lunges for the lower body. Also, deadlifts are performed for eight weeks in the winter and ten weeks in the summer.<br>What did the Terps do differently this year in training?  The biggest thing we did this year was challenge them to a degree that we weren t sure they would be able to accomplish, says Galt.  Some of the workouts, some of the intensity---we weren t sure that they would physically be able to accomplish without overtraining. But they stayed with the program, and by the time the season rolled around in August, they were the strongest, heaviest, fastest team we d ever had. <br>When asked what advice he would give to high school players who hope to someday play for Maryland, Galt replied,  One of the biggest problems with high school athletes is time constraints, because many athletes are multi-sport. What we recommend is that the high school athlete try to figure out a way to become more consistent in the weight room, eve if it s oly 45 minutes, twice a week. We have many kids from well-established high school programs who come here, and when they come here they just explode---and that s because we train year-round. That s why it s always nice to have athletes from high schools who were on the BFS program---they have a good foundation. <br>One player whose potential exploded under Galt s strength training program was junior defensive end Durrand Roundtree.  Durrand is a very special athlete---he s the strongest player we ve ever had, both technically and realistically. He weighed 230 when he got here and he s 265 now at 6 3 . In the weight room, Roundtree increased his bench from 325 to 490, his power clean from 280 to 355 and his squat from 490 to 760, including a workout in which he made 515 for 21 reps. As for speed, his forty improved from 5.00 to 4.68 (electronically timed), and his vertical jump (no step) increased eight inches from 28.5 to 36.5 .<br>Galt says that it s easy to recruit at Maryland  because we tell them the truth. Our goal is the maximization of individual athleticism. When a player leaves here, we want them to feel that they did everything they could <br>to be the best player they <br>could be. Wriht, increased his power cean by 60 pounds and his squat by 75 pounds last year.  After a discussion with clinician Bobby Poss, I began holding a fitness competition in May that tests athleteson the bench press, parallel squat, NFL shuttle, 40-yard sprint, and the Smyrna shuttle [a 300-yard shuttle, broken down into 30-yard sprints]. The athletes received points for the weights lifted and fastest running times. This year the best perfomance was by Thomas Wright, followed by Justin Ritter and Andre Mears. <br>Although Smyrna had no state championship teams this year, Lloyd says he is expecting great things from the athletes who will be on the BS program throughot their entire high school terms. Indeed, the Smyrna Eagles
