The natural progression is to increase the time from 30 seconds to 45 seconds, we do that but we also do two other things for progression.<br> First, a partner or coach will apply steady, downward pressure against the athlete who will have to use all of his support and stabilization muscles to maintain the desired straight position. Second, we will jolt the athlete with a downward jab with both hands. The athlete will get five of these jolts. This means he continually has to brace every muscle for this jolt.<br> The result was remarkable. We all felt we saw an improvement in Power Cleans and Squats. Football players told us there was an improvement on the field, especially at the linebacker position. <br>I was so enthused that I immediately put my eleven-year-old son on the Husky Stabilization Program. We started out at 10 seconds for each of the four positions. He liked it. Now, who says an old dog can t learn new tricks. Our thanks to Rick Huegli, Bill and Kyle for their gracious hospitality and sharing their Upper Limit ideas and program.efensive lineman starter requirements, you can t compete at the national level. You see, a thrower is different than a lineman because nobody can make up for your weaknesses. I just can t say it any plainer than that. <br><br>" <br><br>Achieving these standards are what we have to do to make our success happen. We will spend the necessary time and effort to get there. I can't guarantee that we will win a state or national championship. But, I can guarantee that we will never lose because we lack strength, speed, explosive power or quickness. We will be bigger, faster and stronger. We will be extremely confident in that fact. I will do everything in my power to help you achieve these reachable standards. If everyone will do their part, we will physically dominant our opponents.<br>Coach Shepard<br>(From a 1970 speech)o change.  As my team got better, I began to think that we might be able to win the national championships, says Schmitz.  That was in the late  70s, and it took us until 1982 to win the national championships. The significance of this achievement is that his team beat the York Barbell Club, which had won the championships for 29 years in a row. The York team was composed of athletes throughout the country who were sponsored by York, whereas almost all Schmitz s athletes were from the San Francisco Bay Area and were dues-paying members at Schmitz s gym. Proving the victory was not a fluke, the Sports Palace team went on to win seven more national titles.<br><br>A Legacy <br>of Strength<br><br>Asking Schmitz who his favorite lifters are is like asking a father which of his children he likes the best - he just can t do it. Schmitz was willing, however, to describe some of the best qualities of each of the following Olympians he has trained.  Ken Patera was the absolute strongest, Bruce Wilhelm [the first American to snatch 400 pounds] trained the hardest, Thanh Nguyen had the most natural talent, Ken Clark had the most determination, and Mario Martinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics] had the most success. <br>In addition to developing new talent, Schmitz was also able to rejuvenate the caree
