But there was a catch.  Part of the agreement of becoming a P.B.B.C. lifter was to swear to not use one s newfound strength for the  pursuit of evil,  says Dan.  The oath was stated in a solemn occasion that included much secret mumbo-jumbo and extraneous flourishes. This oath, as far as we know, has never been broken. <br>Although Dan has studied lifting training theory extensively, he emphasizes that the early days of working with Notmeyer provided him with good advice that carries through to this day.  Dick believed certain things worked, says Dan.  You had to snatch, you had to clean and jerk, you had to front squat and you had to eat a lot of protein  everything else was negotiable. <br>In addition to having a simple training philosophy that worked, Notmeyer was able to get amazing results from his athletes because he was able to keep them interested and motivated.  Whenever things got dull, Dick would invent a contest. We had contests for everything. Pull-up contests, sit-up contests, who could squat their bodyweight the most reps  we even had this one contest that involved jumping out of a window! Your mind was engaged, and that was one of the best things I learned in teaching that applies to my own coaching. And to guarantee the highest levels of focus and intensity, Notmeyer allowed his lifters to listen to country music  to ensure that no lifter would be caught spending time listening to music or be unduly sidetracked by a favorite tune, says Dan.  Dick even allowed group-singing of Eddie Arnold s great yodeling ballad,  The Lonesome Cattle Call, which, Dan says,  would attract cats from all over Pacifica. <br>When he lived in the Bay Area, Dan was fortunate to be around many of the best throwers in the world. What did Dan take from associating, and sometimes training, with these athletes?  In the late 70s it became very obvious that to be competitive in throwing you needed to be accomplished in the Olympic lifts and t weights of only 125 and 150 bench 245 and 265 respectfully and can bench their body weight 30 plus times. <br>Coach Melby continues,  Our weight lifting program has improved steadily through its 6-year duration. Out of 198 people in the student body, we average 95 high school and
