Says Bernard,  To the Ivies, the BFS program is not just a weight program; it is a way of life. Cole adds,  If you take care of your injuries, you can come back a lot faster, and you can return like you were never injured. Cole went so far as to ice his broken arm while it was still in the cast. To prove his point, two weeks after his cast was removed, and with a metal pin still in his arm from the surgery, Cole power cleaned 265 pounds in a special weightlifting competition held in Tennessee. <br>Cole sees himself as a role model and is disgusted with the behavior of many of today s superstars.  When you see wealthy athletes do the wrong thing and get away with it, the public starts to accept it  that s not right. Cole, says his father, practices what he preaches.  One of the many instances that display his character occurred when he found a wallet containing six hundred dollars. Cole found the owner and returned the wallet and the money; the owner was an immigrant in the United States and told us that this was every penny he had in the world, says Bernard.<br><br>The BFS Way<br><br>Since he was four years old, Cole has been doing the BFS Dot Drill and reciting the principles of the BFS program, and says he enjoys every issue of BFS magazine.  I love it  whenever I read the magazine it inspires me to go out and do more things because it shows me that there are other athletes are working as hard as me. It tells me that I ve got to work harder and that I can t miss a day of practice  everybody will miss a day of working out sometime, but if I don t then I m always gaining on my competition. The magazine also inspires me because it tells me about some of the troubles that many outstanding athletes have had to overcome. In fact, his strong work ethic is the reason he prefers not to have training partners. <br> When I work out I like to get everything done, and then do extra. Whenever I work out with a partner, we have to change weights too much and it just takes up too muches to work hard and does not invite special attention. He just wants to be one of the players. <br><br>Weighty Matters<br>When Vick came to VT he had some good numbers in the weightroom for a freshman quarterback. At 195 pounds, he had a 270 bench press, a 34-inch vertical jump, and ran a 4.42 forty (hand timed). Impressive results at any level. After the first year under Coach Gentry s direction, Vick added 50 pounds to his bench, four inches to his vertical, and dropped his forty time to 4.33. Those numbers have taken another a big jump in the off-season. Since coming to Virginia Tech, Vick has added 17 pounds of muscle, can bench 340, squat 515, power clean 280, push jerk 310, vertical jump 41 inches and run a 4.25 forty.<br>Although some strength coaches have a conservative weight training program for their skill players, especially starting quarterbacks such as Vick, Coach Gentry doesn t believe in drastically changing his training for his skill athletes.  We don t train our quarterbacks any differently, says Gentry.  The most important thing for developing  short speed is leg strength. <br>Just as Vick was able to ease into the football program, Coach Gentry has designed a program that gets his players ready for some serious lifting. One of Gentry s first priorities with freshmen is cleaning up their lifting technique, especially with squats, and introducing them to speed-strength training with an emphasis on the Olympic lifts. For example, Gentry says he ll start their off-season training with the hang clean and the push press, then progress through the year to the power clean and
