I asked with skepticism. <br>He just smiled,  Do you want to knock a couple of tenths off your forty? That got my attention! Stefan demonstrated that keeping the knees locked was absolutely essential. You can t bend your knees and stretch the hamstrings. The knees must be locked. Of course Stefan had heard about the argument of creating too much stress on the lower back. What was his answer? Keep the weight very light. An athlete who can do a legitimate Parallel Squat of 500 pounds should only train with about 135 pounds on a SLDL and never do more than 40% of a true Parallel Squat. You don t break records or ever max out. You just always keep it very light. Beginning high school athletes or college athletes start with only 65 pounds.<br>Stefan felt the lock-kneed SLDL was one of the very most important lifts for developing speed. He said the greater your hamstring flexibility, the more fluid of a running movement you can achieve. It s like adding a high grade oil to the pistons of your engine. I personally tested Stefan s flexibility. He could stretch, with locked knees, 9.5 inches past his toes. That partially explains his 4.3 times and his 40-inch Vertical Jump from a stand.<br>We have been endorsing and teaching Stefan s method for the last 15 years. I know without a doubt this is superior way. I have done it both ways. The results, in my mind, are not even close. There is no danger to the lumbar spine area simply because of the very light weight involved. When we trained the Utah Jazz, the players really liked the feel of our method. They felt the SLDL was their second most favorite lift.<br>As far as endangerment toa varsity assistant coach at Ashland (Ohio) High School and Tiffin University where he helped the Dragons to a school record 25-6 mark and the Mid-Ohio Championship.</P> <P>I got to meet three of Coach Aronhalt's players for next season:&nbsp; Andy Bennett, 6-1 200 pounds; Jeremy Morgan, 6-3 195 pounds; and Wes Newman, 6-0 165 pounds.&nbsp; They were extremely well-mannered and soaked up the knowledge that I gave them like a sponge.&nbsp; They were eager to learn.&nbsp; All three work hard for that chance to reach their potential.&nbsp; After I left, they taught the rest of the team what they had learned.&nbsp; Here's what Andy, Jeremy and Wes do, in order: Bench-240,230,245; Trap Bar-445,405,465; Parallel Squat-315,310,NA; Power Clean-175,170,165; Vertical Jump-25,28,31.3.</P> <P>Scott Aronhalt and his Blue Devils have got it going but their success is more than just chance.&nbsp; Coach Aronhalt caught the vision of what it takes to develop potential and then created the environment which allowed his players to take advantage of the "secret".&nbsp; All the coaches and players dedicate themselves to work extremely hard with a consistent year round effort.&nbsp; Knowledge plus hard work equals success.&nbsp; What better legacy can any coach instill into his players?&nbsp; We thank Coach Aronhalt and his player for being such a great Upper Limit example.</P> s* Z= d(i)'E 64īv;(UPȩ/1M<.PȀpU\4HTЏYKSO/ quv߶8޿myh w-WGh/'n!ɥfc,FztNG$zQ\+1vSray$^rZE#Q;刐#2F/YQnuۤ1Gu)^Od_~v'Xuhrvb>h=R1rQLJ9&GZVLEk(b{1T{+^:]Uc_KŇu f?I2FZ#tonp3F*åw_o/+lQs]>s6$Vg O \gW"xs4IBZry4s o_OPIe4Z۞j'1tlĚ$'e'7'En5ƈ6jHE,H"XK.L،vl1e8eE[}Qݚ6|餰lȪlNPlM 2;#o9?1b^|}˙cԣA]DVݤ*s"fwvXuD
