It happens literally thousands of times a day. Look at Picture 10. This athlete has her head down and hips up, with no bend in the knees. Put down the bar the same way it was picked up--spread the chest and squat down (see picture 6). <br><br>HOW TO STRENGTHEN <br>THE LOWER BACK<br><br>Strengthening the lower back and abdominal areas is the second factor in preventing lower back injuries. Straight Leg Dead Lifts can have a remarkable positive effect in strengthening the lower back. Performing Squats, Hex Bar Dead Lifts and Cleans correctly can add great strength to the lower back as well. These exercises can also make the abdominals extremely strong. Specific  Ab work can be done in addition. <br> Remember to never twist out of position at any time during any lift. This can cause lower back injuries. Do not twist to get an extra rep. Don t even twist to get out of a Bench Press. Read your body and make a great decision when selecting a poundage. If you put on a weight that you are not ready for, the risk is higher for injury. Never sacrifice technique for a few extra pounds.<br> Picture 11 illustrates the Straight Leg Dead Lift. This is a top priority auxiliary exercise in the BFS Program. By purposely rounding the back, the lower back muscles can be isolated, stretched and strengthened. By strengthening these muscles, the chance of a serious lower back injury is significantly reduced and, if an injury does occur, recovery time is hastened. <br> Because the back is rounded, only light weight should be used. Advanced lifters should use no more than 40% of their Parallel Squat Max. Beginners use only 45 to 95 pounds. Keep the knees locked and go straight down in a very slow and controlled manner. <br>AcOަJwW1ZM$ ;lf8nrɹt$.8'U('9S护FԂ6FwTF#_zrhF'N*IRN?'H2}C*0F 9sN:SN! 8x^=;weTtʡɩz wq:1 7;tBnBqUdNŜ Ԇh):ttw0ȤkVTBW$$2:=(`ёgӖ z2h 岐hNr{HiҀ!N2}MK&WdtqLY29"3mXu iy*A>8eS1SʙĎ08֪7O-e8ޕ&ipI:qB4#qb=iZɅ ܞV=ĒA RO@)77ҝ䢨~Another reason Conrd s program has been so successful is that the coaches have adopted a very sensible approach to making weight. Says Llew,  We explain to the kids that it s important to maintain goodeating habits bcause if you don t, at some point if you keep losing weight you will give up muscle and strength. You re better off becoming competitive at a weight that you weigh normally, rather than trying to crash diet to something that is not even close. If you weigh 176 and you want to wrestle 171, that s probably all right because over a season you ll get there. But if you weigh 176 and think you re going to wrestle 152, you re probably making a serious mistake. You won t be competitive when you get to 152. <br>According to Llew, who serves as an assistant coach at Conrad, conditioning is a major factor in wrestling because the action is virtually nonstop.  The condition athletes must be in to play football, relative to the condition they have to be in to successfully wrestle, isn t even close. However, aerobic training is not the answer.  If you re training for a six-minute match, you want something that will train you eight or nine minutes really hard because you re trying to prepare for a very short duration, high burst of energy. Exactly what does jogging for an hour and a half have to do with that? <br>Llew believe that BFS is a great program for wrestling. He likes the flexibility component of the program and specifically the BFS dot drill.  The dot drill is great for wrestling, says Llew,  because when someone is trying to take you down they re shooting at your legs, so the ability to quickly move your feet i
