I was amazed at their size and speed. There were about 30 throwers who weighed an average of 270 pounds running between 4.6 and 4.8. Pro football players were not even close to that. I wanted my high school football players back at Sehome High School in the state of Washington to be like those throwers. So when I returned, we parallel squatted like those throwers and practiced sprinting. We timed our players twice per month. We did not do a very good job with power cleans but we were superior at the parallel squat. See Figure #5 and you will see what I mean. Little Greg Frere at a bodyweight of 155 parallel squatted 355 pounds and ran a 4.6 forty. Look at his depth and form: eyes on target and being tall with the chest spread. This photo was part of a story that featured my program at Sehome in the old Strength & Health magazine. We did a good job at only two of the ten components we have today, but we did those very well. It took only a year to get phenomenal results. I had 50 players run between 4.5 and 5.0 in the forty. That was 1970. Can anyone match that today? Sehome had an enrollment of 1,400 in grades 9-12. We played mostly larger schools and ended up playing Snohomish High School in a mythical state championship. They had minus 77 yards. <br> My next move took me to Brigham Young University, where I worked with football players and the power lifting team. Paul Howard, a lineman, gained 45 pounds in one year, reaching 275, and improved his forty from 5.2 to 4.8. He played ten years for the Denver Broncos. Paul Devine was a running back who was also on my power lifting team (see Figure #6). He helped us win the1973 national collegiate power lifting championship. Paul graduated and raised his family in southern California. His son Kevin was taught how to parallel squat and train (see Figure #7 and #8). Kevin ran a 4.2 forty at the combine and played in the NFL for several years. I was so impressed with Kevin that we did a football speed video featuring Kevin s ideas on speed improvement.<br> I once had a 5 9 250-pound sophomore football player in 1977 named Charles who ran a 6.9 forty.  Charles, I told him,  you may have just set a record for the slowest time in history. As I see it, you ve got two choices. Either eat lettuce for every meal or squat like crazy. Well, Charles didn t like lettuce. By the end of his senior year, Charles was 5 11 and weighed 300 pounds. What do you think? Was he slower after all those squats and with that extra 50 pounds? <br> Charles parallel squatted 745 pounds in a national competition and briefly held the teenage national record ( S_L$>@#˹JBXJ<01$-Rl-Fv eFr#]hǶlI?͂9Ҵ=U?^L-tH㿎'ĪlcHzq1[C"-߾ANKkvc:.[EUK}z jeqBBR^|ҧy"p+5p2C6zOlBxouȚH"J 45C.8ʤXh@Z,xW9H0kZI^~tPҹ'&hxLw>WɘDoCa_&,Q,p^f)\q8Q]qzv_Q8ǫq ['j%̾zSLFP}sK7WČ|#OdclnӇ%FrN@FEc#=wA+k-AͬM%Լsl -ԲKgs?_`I/}F)|3hW6q4$-hi6Λ_*f(H3[(Kn:v:\Q;Wz7ӦG-4 (;A,2F‰S8r̍0(}flNlj/ӚAy,l;5 l6;WTP<-̀QF՝w2LWRBuaO]VᒟyvQɚzbAxފ6⴮@a.%X)^ܵN΅\VGeMfM8s3D!bu~I*S.ŎRmYrF2I%G< 8i!P|Jr}u:^a#) (kᶪ K9D(`iNpYԮEHj (T )1i$x{6dDնQk'*@hzdQF>/:y ၼ~#A)u#G?wȕSXכ&,`3BPh}ë+9T,:|2- hVі%WX'fPz?FKidIWSِ0LIٌWiCJv0j6=ծ^N"2UAl~w…̈́uᗻg\t9A+2ƋGOI]6hc4g[O*x*OoN;PjGpqL6"##/%?~sb?PM*ٟ?1_BS1\=F&.)ąypՉS: 7$%ǝ!Q #ˈ5pG )fRN]^#~b9|o 2XC.6a~V.[mڀ3S\GiB7VrE>t%zvr[6Λ.29o~rg2\z~wĎ<)6T`aa,'栊Nr?XnM?}i!ےEG`%"MF.A&ѰdR:2Jl>Z"k֍ziOQ~jI[<^ <6YZԓo,S91DX?MPi4Geߘ_k6m6K:?8&8ٗqIEv.pT.8ǟ<8enI?g1tDp~V3 ۾ت4Rժ0l6˰Ռj>X|s~ͲiaZ)nMJtS{cvf5T-Z>g3[MÖQtˣũJ'N}X6sy[KWuV1xu-6uKv471׳|#xsov}coКe\2n>KjueBR󵟘V^V4 yjTQ90*4^Z+UIƨU>/RvgwRi,Ԡ2u)?a6.K5ɗŘ~3l#lQOHz;@Y(ܓEf`*@I@Mn\Gt)')d49u.7T+n8rF>{MW鹉e5׺y# pyCp|sia 2%$(Zm \H8>pf nzoZXu>٘ 7ư TIg@7I:*1tY ߆zeonװWKMO"<~91.c>Hw% K\>-monWӑ|V66I;r"Bk*Aix,V-<w?tOrH=JyAՉ'\5[ʌI4Ñ{BC+"J&/N0<3yVC9z.>Zy(]q,po͍+2[4il+mo-%~UH~Z"-srKɌ(;aL k =>%soh"F ?uFG<׷so@ 7*O0$1B}#Ip=SVR'a]ws,3M:+J ~PU\DӐ>% XTRz|E:1+Z1ɔv_=s7_V|8[m!Yn~ }|5?OOnh?Y+Xn?aSVimbO%X[9f_%u#վ$aTtn6O a,]hjIJdȼK{ۘu_cLsy|)n2Z칏Ků77>(~Ss-{$b,jƤ৳~$m9)#1O\&aop?c =sb>lmxsGZMnD_ގ)ȵ @p6>#$>GE-9mPo[~u1?[N#O=3K)_|#ӏ9@}bڄsjPNR}l>dgҔl 5EE%8ӿb0k7 $`iRGS3g)U;dq ߽fݍPwkY.N:h}<@R>'rZi?Ve|; k[Z}a\!"ؙ=g5R>P΃,k0 vus~^O)8=#~~94ץ_m.Y Gs]6>#?v7z#k%0Hc[E:OBw4}Q$zx#O.,X ww[yc$JP&Mcbmd;DN٫!݉"+_`MR~a!SjwuQQ?=3Gv"5A(a`N1Cdh,G?).8Np{ѷ%=ך7*?q0ϯy3mDKOHxbK o\?Ib.nX`,l-mRMR&` )ho9]1P3X4Ѡc߄Hm YdS*A{d/E}*èTaɼ[='ԅ G&J]SF@^?,աΥ'ޯT \aEL;/ F6*i_Rr#(e)_Ӧlٰ!5#!Hr3zJV۶
