It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himsel.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four yeas of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>ub i Columbus, Ohio, Simmons has trained dozens of world champions and world record holders.  I competed in powerlifting when I was at Virginia Tech, and at that time I read Louie's articles and visited him quite a bit, says Bennett.  I got involved with what Louie did, which included using box squats, and started doing them myself. They worked, and they worked well without beating up my body when I was doing rep testing. When you get where you can squat about 650 and start doing rep testing, it's gets rather taxing on the body.<br> At Marshall, we played every home game and practiced every practice on the Astro turf. That turf is a monkey, you know--really tough on the body. During the season our players couldn't do many regular squats because their knees and hips were ho xnQZ{bz8Efc}ʢ1p̴ptŌIU3O dF hE7m 16nc%WA5LIE\x(ըoU EH}(d$q_LǑ1I<^D4!7*BhP5avEtrM=+N1̹D[.wj=z`;n0H8-$=8IUz,@&<1TNt\ ^MЏt1q;p] žKge4ȧ6>5܋bzfuA?g \DUF|Iܜp;3sA6mSaUwƓUpS_@j 2` uONjP|>ta$>O).a 3 z}؋I}F"y1I}nA\)ɨqhG d޿v@9y .%#nYy fѷF'`qI=P)$EB>Tֻ)DGO|^KVM )SӨ?+SV=(P5eW weM\g Zo ڄxbq܎x.}?ViŸߠ'rmn;\c# u Ҧ3;RA EC~,{mZc^N èY(hh:FE l^d-VQH㏝b#L!bؖ#+ꊂ> BjkS\nEAM崈zRؑю5 **Ԗ4 瑯5\qb7?~2QAO3q$ }{5vUr"!HRw N}`2ZU3{9\:e…Cc*ӋMLLI1CU+fČ \Ƒ㊨x㣚hMmxFw<\M)0y]HtAA}UY#Du`"a2ygpyP\i{\W";(iګg9FU .yC$_n@,_JGLPҪ 2dD!,쒼["p2w ~L^}[n?gMpw4ǬV*wZkrĖ k1$ ׮5R^| kVQR: =C .zƺ$b2NOy5!
