This exercise emphasizes many of the smaller muscles of the shoulder that stabilize the joint, and it s much tougher than it sounds. n fact, the Air Force Academy tried to norporate these types of pushups during a toughness training ritual called  Recognition Week that every cadet mustendure. However, after the cadets had performed dozens of these push-ups, we received a callfrom the supervising officer to stop them because the cadets upper bodies were too exhausted to continue the remainder of their physical tasks!<br><br>Power Training<br><br>What the medicine ball is especially good for is power development. Power can be defined as  work performed over time. Medicine balls take the strength developed from high-tension lifts such as the squat and teach the body ad mind to use tha strength faster. In sports, you have nly a fraction of a second to retur that tennis serve or to break that tackle. This is exactly why athletes who excel in the weigt room often may be outplayed by phsically weaker oponents who ca apply a 1980 at the Hill Air Force Base Powerlifting meet, where Dan was competing for the Utah State Powerlifting Team. Recalls Dan,  It was about two in the morning during the deadlift competition, and I was sitting around in the warm-up room when Greg came up to me and asked me what I was opening with. I said I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, andthen I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah Jazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. One day when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. That started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one major struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight. In college it was as high as272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowed his bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accepted the fact that he was fat and had to do something about it. <br>To get lean, Dan went on a low-carb, high-protein diet. Dan s description of a good breakfast:  meat, eggs and other stuff. A bad breakfast:  not meat, eggs, and other stuff. In a few months he dropped 50 pounds.  It s funny, I got down to 206, nd I found that I could throw the discus just as far as I did when I was heavier  and my injuries isappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stil`ٖ$[/ZsW.hMgºI+T@qf۵t$u.V#@XG ]@U(N_#ҙʬ ڸڬ|䅲5FO1RiURӧJ ʶ$(8 kʃ R5%3HRѨOj^N6[/*+K7$9Oˀ:smRBM" dëne T2AyJTv?N8su`ɿ}1*w]u^"IѲmQdYe5=o1+.u18;2YWeکbbh֙ԤX*,7 /z&)]0Cn6P"I&KR 9$cO.%keoq):wKnH޼Y1ˎo@Oec+#7@/ƍg
