Under Yurish's guidance their program has become one of the best in the region with more than 80 school records set in the weight room during the last three years alone, while 40 of those records have been set in the last year by current members of the Rams. <br>Strength training is a critical aspect of the Shepherd College football program. Individual instruction is vitally important and improved team performance on the field is the end result. The athlete-coach relationship is important, and Yurish pushes his athletes to their max. The program is a year-round effort toward betterment, as dictated by the Bigger Faster Stronger principles. Yurish praises the BFS program for his team's low injury record.  We spend most of our time on explosive movements, plyometrics, and core body strength, but we also work on a number of smaller muscles, such as the hamstrings and the neck for example, in order to keep our athletes on the field and off the sidelines. We work for total muscular development by strengthening the entire body. Also, our flexibility program, both static and dynamic, has played a tremendous role in keeping our players playing. It works. <br>Their weight room contains some machines, but concentrates on free weights with more than 6000 pounds of iron, squat racks, a full array of benches, neck machines, hip sleds and T-bars. Yurish adds,  We believe in using free weights because of the range of motion and joint integrity benefits. Personally, I feel that the more an athlete can do in space, opposed to a being in a fixed range of motion, the more beneficial the training when playing the game. That's not saying we do not use machines, but they are not the foundation of our program. <br>Beane's success on the field parallels his success in the weight room. From 1996 to 1998 he brought his bodyweight up to 212 pounds from his freshman weight of 175, and his body fat down from 14 percent to 11. His power clean has gone from 235 to 285 pounds, squat from 405 to 565 pounds, bench from 275 to 325 pounds and chin-ups from 9 to 18. Proving this Beane can jump, his broad jump has gone from 8-feet-9 inches to 9-feet-6-inches. Not bad, considering he's been training under the BFS principles for only three years, and gone from a hey-look-at-me athlete to the Division II leader. <br>Easy going off the field, Beane is deceptively quick and agile.  You look at Damian and you think, 'I don't see anything super special here,'  says Cater.  But he's very quick and if you give him some space, he's going to get an awful lot of mileage out of it. And he's very difficult to tackle in the open field. He seems to get out of so many things. He's shifty and has excellent feet. He's a lot stronger runner than people think." <br> When Damian arrived on campus,
