Proving the victory was not a fluke, the Sports Palace tea went on to win seven more national titles.<br><br>A Legacy <br>of Strength<br><br>sking Schmitz who his favorite lifters are is like asking a father wich of his children he likes the best - he just can t do it. Schmitz was wiling, however, to describe some of the best qualities of each of the following Olympians he has trained.  Ken Patera was the absolute strongest, Bruce Wilhelm [the first American to snatch 400 pounds] trained the hardest, Thanh Nguyen had the most natural talent, Ken Clark had the most determination, and Mario Martinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in he 1984 Olympics] had the most success. <br>In addition to developing new talent, Schmitz was also able to rejuvenate the careers f many lifters who had suffered slumps. For example, Tom Hirtz s lifting had stagnated fr several years until he cme o Shmitz. Hirtz went on to eventually set an American record in the snatch of 342 ponds at 181 pounds bodyweight. Mark Cameron, already an accomplished lifter, moved to San Francisco to train with Schmitz for five months and soon afterwards clean and jerked 501.5 pounds while competing in the 242-pound bodyweight class. <br>One quality that sets Schmitz apart is that he has been able to work especially well with super heavyweights, having coached three of the four Americans who have clean and jerked 500 pounds. In addition to coaching Patera, Wilhelm and Cameron, he also coached John Bergan (396 snatch, 496 clean and jerk) and Tom Stock (391 snatch, 490 clean and jerk).  Sperhevys have to train a little differently because they have big bodies they re ifting as well as the big weights, says Schmitz.  Their recovery is different and for a lot of them there are differences in their flexibility and their speed. I ve been lucky to have the supers that I ve had, but with two Olympians in the lightr classes (Cantore and Nguygen, who both weighed less than 150 pounds) I ve proven I can coach these athletes " class="footer-menu">BFS Magazine BFS Careers Downloads Contact BFS Terms and Conditions
