Photo Eight: Shows correct toe alignment in the BFS One on the Bench stretch. The toes should be straight, not flopped over as in Photo Nine. Again, once you teach the Toes as one of the Six Absolutes, all you have to shout while coaching is that one word, Toes! Athletes will correct themselves. It makes your coaching life easier and a lot more fun.
Photo Ten: Shows poor toe alignment. Look at the front foot in our BFS Hip Flexor stretch. Toes should not be pointed out. The toes should be straight as shown in the correct position of Photo Eleven.

Our Next Issue: We will discuss correct knee alignment. This will conclude our series on the Six Absolutes of technique and coaching. To get the previous articles on the Six Absolutes, log on to our web site at BiggerFasterStronger.com. There, as a BFS Team Member, you will have access to these articles plus every BFS article written in the last five years. Until then, keep those Toes Aligned!

The BFS Six Absolutes

1. Use an Athletic or Jump Stance
2. Be Tall
3. Spread the Chest
4. Toes Aligned
5. Knees Aligned (Knees over toes)
6. Eyes On Target
Presidents Note: In past issues, I introduced the Six Absolutes, which illustrated how coaching techniques in the weight room can be easy and amazingly effective in teaching and learning perfect technique. All coaches and athletes should use the Six Absolutes when coaching or spotting. You can also use these Six Absolutes when coaching any sport. $$|p E set by Kamy Keshmiri (1987). Several others in high school history have also thrown farther. So how can I say that Nik is the best Discus Thrower ever?

You also visualize your technique. With a roar, you get the first rep. The second rep is a gut buster, but you have got to try or that third rep. It doesn t go. Now you have to go to the penalty table. Shingle nails! You only get credit for 315 pounds. Bummer. <br> Okay, you say to yourself. How can I salvage this workout? The set record is out of reach but maybe I can break a rep record. You think the easiest one to break is the 8-rep record. You put on 270 pounds. The first reps go easy. You get six, then seven and now eight reps. A record! It s real heavy
