They seem to have lost touch with the idea that if an athlete is stronger, he or she is less likely to get injured and is going to perform better.<br><br>BFS: How would you describe your weightroom?<br>Brooks: I have to start by staying that you re not going to find better weightroom anywhere. Equipment-wise we have exactly what we need, keeping in mind that I also had to address the student body s needs as well. That s because the philosophy of the college is that anything we have can be used by all, so we don t have an athlete s weightroom. <br><br>BFS: Can you give me some specifics?<br>Brooks: On the main floor we have eight platforms with cages and benches that allow an athlete to bench, squat, chin and perform Olympic lifting exercises. We also have machines on the upper deck, thick-handled dumbbells from 5 to 150 pounds in 2 -pound increments, four BFS mega-hex bars, and we have a couple of large crossover pieces.<br><br>BFS: Do you usually have three athletes per platform?<br>Brooks: Yes, that works out pretty well with teams. We could probably go four on a platfor if necessary.<br><br>BFS: How many student-athletes can be training in your facility at one time?<br>Brooks: We could probably fit 24 people on the platforms, so we can handle a lot of teams because you re not going to find many teams much bigger than that  certainly not a basketball team.<br><br>BFS: What s the approximate square footage?<br>Brooks: About 5,300 square feet.<br><br>BFS: Are there plans to build a bigger weightroom?<br>Brooks: T@\P#?/e*G E |xOJ(C3rUڊ(3L,@CNG4Ĝ{QE7w8i?֊) \(Clean-175,170,165; Vertical Jump-25,28,31.3.</P> <P>Scott Aronhalt and his Blue Devils ave got it going but their success is more than just chance.&nbsp; Coach Aronhalt caught the vision of wha it takes to develop potential and then created the environment which allowed his players to akeablish the proper motor patterns in lifting the better. The toughest athletes to teach are the kids who are maybe 16 to 18 and have done a lot of bodybuilding exercises it gets very frustrating for them. I think that especially for a kid who s pretty bright and has an appropriate attention span, the younger you can get them started the better.<br><br>BFS: You were one of the first coaches to train athletes twice a day. Did you encounter criticism from other weightlifting coaches for training that frequently?<br><br>Schnorf: Certainly. The accepted practice was generally to train every other day, so the idea that an athlete could train six days a week or twice a day some days was just not looked upon as being appropriate at that time.<br><br>BFS: Are there any problems related to the age at which an athlete begins lifting twice a day? <br><br>Schnorf: An athlete who starts such frequent training youner has a big advantage over an athlete who begins at a later age, especially in terms of how the body handles it and frequently in how the mind handles it. One of the problems with older lifters trying to train this frequently is that they have a lot more stress and personal obligations and may not have the ability to focus like a kid wh doesn t have all those pressures.<br><br>BFS: You have a reputation for pushing your athletes through butally hard training sessions. Is that true?<br><br>Schnorf: At the 1979 Friendship Cup in Russia, Stewart lifted well while the other US lifters didn t lift very well. On the plane back someone asked Stewart why the pressure didn t seem to
