The magazine showed pictures of Russian weightlifters performing the lift on a pommel horse in front of wooden stall bars.<br>American weightlifter Bud Charniga saw the article and decided to include the new exercise in his exercise arsenal.  What I did was take a padded car seat and nail it to a carpenter s bench. I then placed it in front of my power rack and hooked my ankles underneath my barbell so that I wouldn t tip over. <br>Because the car seat Charniga used was padded and had a much sharper curve than the pommel horses the Russians were using, he noticed something unusual.  I noticed that when I did the exercise, the curved surface of the car seat helped me flex my knees more so that I could get a greater range of motion. Although you can t directly attribute all his lifting success to one exercise, it should be noted that in 1974 after Charniga began performing the exercise, he snatched 352 pounds, only 5 pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division.<br>In 1979 Charniga visited Russia and found that every gym he looked in had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the training of Russian weightlifters. He saw that weightlifters would often perform some variation of the exercise twice in a workout, once before the workout with light weights as a warm-ugain in 2001 while setting the Park City Olympic track record at 50.74 seconds. Tricia finished second at the World Cup event in LaPlange, France last December and third in Ingls, Austria. At the 2001 World Championships in Calgary, she repeated her third place finish from the previous year. All these competitions vaulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points for the 2001 season. <br>Tricia is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to make the Olympic team. And should she make it, she ll represent our nation with honor. She has gone to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality, said Tricia.  We focused on where my challenges are in sport. She gave me concrete things to try in an effort to create an environment where I can be my best. <br>While in Colorado Springs, Tricia received active release therapy (ART) to help a long-time hamstring injury. Dr. Leahy created this approach to muscle healing which strips off scar tissue and allows the muscles and tendons to move.  Essentially he digs his thumbs into my hamstrings as deep and hard as he can. Ouch! The process only takes about fifteen minutes and it is working. Tricia is more flexible than ever and Coach Snowden is able to do more and more hamstring exercises in the gym. <br> I admire Eric more than anyone I know, offered Tricia.  He has inspired me more than anyone else. He is 100% dedicated to hi       "  !1AQa"2B#R3b$r%C4Scs5D'6Tdt& EFVU(eu7GWgw8HXhx)9IYiy*:JZjzm!1AQa"q2X ܻs5DT &6E'dtU7()󄔤euFVfGWgw8HXhx9IYiy*:JZjz ?ڀ܏L_,_I*OI0T1ddb{RĀUv\j+4w 6W h 4…uߦlUe;|?HqUHXՕZ>HπqyԚ1=-JzQ׊q;lGX-šTYi8 IduW+CLL)!\?o|2#`O?ks<`xgw `+fյgV(k9n5+>X]-nYc76r?8|a$EO4!'~~ߩFlrC@`ZRf W5C|w$^YގgJ%Q* 458aZ-6O#u ^MҚH7TJmO2Aw{suqJu[%60I(XG~JK4/qyr62_Idž2FF Ş/rf')&"e/x1e($:oë|Wz`)sco6W1j_#kisj)GzY(iZzK4"_4q\Ouu*ƤJCC$w6{\|U^{jzJ.(GHjeޤxc<1c._i;C*V]:tOFG.J@=M&*@Nm3ܸ܊ŸOp(JR┌"d~e~Kѵ&K;HnW1_\/ [qYxA׌Wz.tqP笆W u;x[B!B}.U?hy"j֗7}K)dxO8hYjPjK'MB* zPBXb Awe|#ygWu#ܪ eWSI3IAЊKwQu%&h:|\+I~}f[{9x<#.j7Qs]ێzOX:Q `/ȍ:T*j;s͗xug3?}ZGnκdI3cs"py724.=5sܸe?#f$ d9蜛Μ|ѫX%-1ڄ2;,Qrξ.- t&{V՚њ4rGDŽUw??rF12 {i˽^KѼ|zJ<^9YEYA? 3g{7?7g~7?guHOR1 [}n'qWt 3<e,oI#hr*"|c[po_ YhH$p,V6^a:24IA$u 9W"iZ+lshC][$G,e>+q`vB{yoLQkflr/(s~;_qo>}ZSdGVj2WQ"T^ouEOOŬCi_mƉOda
