Tucker's parents sold their shotguns, rifles, or whatever it took to get the needed revenue. Tucker's mom even worked the bluegrass festival in Telluride so they could buy bumper plates, deciding that new curtains for the house would have to wait.<br>To be a good athlete, it is at least as important to have a tough mother as it is a tough father. Gwen gives Tucker and his brother and sister all the support, help, and encouragement they need. She fixes nourishing meals, helps in ways only mothers can, and gives the needed tough love it takes to make all three kids as good as they can be.<br><br>SUCCESS<br><br>Tucker's passion, dedication and devoted family have made him a true champion. Tucker's lifelong record is an amazing 422 wins to only 7 losses. He has won every one of his last 209 matches. He has won 15 state and 8 national titles, including the toughest collegiate-style competition in the nation in Tulsa and the toughest Freestyle and Greco-Roman in the nation in Waterloo, Iowa. But perhaps Tucker's most impressive success of all is his <br>All-American family. material with me, recalls Siff.  He stressed that  core exercises (such as the squat and power clean) were of little value if even one minor muscle group is weak and lets you down in competition. <br> <br> From Pommel Horse <br>to Car Seat<br><br>Although the glute-ham raise had been used by European athletes since the turn of the century, American athletes were introduced to it in 1971 through Strength and Health magazine. 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-up, and again at the end of the workout with heavy weights as a strengthening exercise. This sensible practice was also followed in the U.S. In fact, five-time national weightlifting champion Ken Clark, whose picture appears in the BFS Total Program Book, began every workout with several sets of back extension exercises. In 1983, at a body weight of 220 pounds, Clark clean and jerked 470 pounds, an American record that has yet to be equaled.<br>While in Russia, Charniga noticed that not much had changed in regard to how the exercise was performed since that first Strength and Health article, with the exception that some gyms had positioned straps to secure the feet
