Although an exercise such as the glute-ham raise doesn t create the same stress on the muscles as a power clean or a squat, the additional work helps correct these weak links that may be preventing an athlete from achieving Upper Limit goals.<br>Dr. Mel Siff, a noted exercise scientist from South Africa, had an opportunity to train with the late Serge Reding back in 1971. This Belgian behemoth was the first man to snatch 400 pounds and was considered the greatest rival of the most famous weightlifter of all time, Vasily Alexeyev. Siff saw Reding squat, all the way down, without wraps, 880 pounds for 5 reps and perform repeated jumps a foot off the ground whilhigh as you can. As you jump, bring your knees up as high as possible to your chest as shown in Photos #7, 8 & 9. You should go through this series three times.<br>If an athlete cannot bring his knees easily to his/her chest, they are finished with this segment of Box Jumping. Those that can, go to The Rapid Fire To Big Box drill. To do this, bring in the 32-inch box. Go through the Rapid Fire sequence and at the end, jump up on top of the big box as in Photo #10. From this point, if your ability permits, you can keep increasing the height of the box. Photo #11 shows the addition of our booster box which can take it up to a 40-inch height. Photo #12 shows P.J. making this height. <br>Even taller boxes can be used as in Photo #13. The next photo (#14) is of P.J. again. He can easily jump to a 50-inch height. Photos #15, 16 and 17 show P.J. jumping over the 32-inch box with one leg. Obviously, this is extremely advanced and is not something even a gifted athlete should try right away. <br>We believe all athletes, regardless of athletic ability, should do our Box Jumping routine. We even show you how to spot, not only for safety, but for a unique way to help all athletes be successful. Jeff Scurran, one of our BFS Clinicians, coached literally thousands of athletes through the years at Sabino High School in Tucson. On the video, Coach Scurran shows this unique spotting technique and says,  I never had an athlete whoot stronger as the season went on.<br><br>PRE-SEASON TESTS<br><br>It is said that championships are won from January through August, so back to work we went. Sticking to the plan and fine tuning our program, we were thrilled with our pre-2000 season test.<br>On the bench press, 33 players lifted 300 pounds or more and 4 players bench pressed over 400 pounds. On the parallel squat, there were 18 players over 400 pounds. Dot drill times improved an average of 13 seconds per player. Team times for the 40-yard dash improved .02 seconds. Our biggest improvement was Ryan Jenkins, a senior (Captain) defensive tackle. Ryan went from a 5.38 forty time to a 4.9. Jenkins was also one of those 400 plus in the bench and squat. Ryan credits his speed improvement to stretching, squatting and the straight-leg dead lift. Larry Kelliher, also a senior defensive tackle and a 400 plus in both lifts, improved his 40 speed from a 5.16 to a 4.93. Both have a super work ethic. Missing a workout was just unheard of.  I feel sorry for those guys who don t lift, stated Kelliher.  First, they are selling their team short and second, Coach McKenna will track them down. <br><br>INTO THE NEW SEASON<br><br>Notre Dame s first big test in 2000 was to come against Hamilton West, a power house in recent years. Hamilton West is a well-coached team, loaded with great players.<br>The stage was set, the community was buzzing with a game of the year talk. But all the excitement was put on hold when the Hamilton West teachers went on strike. With Hamilton s season on hold, Notre Dame continued to play and rolled to a 7 and 0 record. The game of the yea
