Morgan Baker, our best defensive player and one of only two players weighing over 200 pounds, could bench 275.<br>During the spring of 1999, Portola hosted a BFS clinic, instructed by Bob Bozied from BFS, for both coaches and athletes. It was this clinic that brought another major component into our athletic plan. We added some components of BFS program to our PE classes. The PE teachers utilize many of the features of BFS, such as the dot drill. It is a great sight to walk into a gym class and see forty students of all abilities doing the Dot Drill at the same time. The PE teachers promote the whole program for those who want to use the weight room. <br>Since Portola is a small school, we have to develop the students we have. We don t have the luxury of the numbers some of the schools have. Most of the best athletes have to play both ways, so our conditioning must be superior. As the 1998 JV team grew into the 2000 Varsity team, their lifting sessions became more intense and dedicated.<br>Our project has been successful. We have restored our self-esteem. Winning has also brought the community together to support our football program.  It is all worth the effort, to see our players faces after our division championship, said coach Bass. More students have expressed an interest in playing next year. Our next challenge is now on our doorstep. Can we sustain this energy level? I believe so, with the help of the Bigger Faster Stronger Program.<br><br>" <br>The BFS Program provides a plan the athletes love, because it is motivational. It promotes goal setting, record breaking and teamwork. Athletes can set PR s everyday! The athletes want to continue lifting. It is no longer just hard work, it is FUN!<br> --Howard Thomas the century, American athletes wereintroduced to it in 1971 through Strength and Health magazine. kH*-GO[FIN'_P{xSLS j6: 1ǯϵ^7 *5UJ]1Syd]{[!mGg_U?jxǞ,ѡ~`"TɑOU>+GNspNj敯QE(<+x7ìśE$Is[tP ;DtM2@5~(k{x!$.HfXߑ[tPV[%i1" Q*Z( wM8.0ج9~fbs+Vᯅ!}F4%-!HaA~5hvjVP]PJ+5wQ@uS0KAR+OFdI9{w=3ZTPk:T6\BHm.YsV0o E *AYt =R6 8 zԢZAakI DTQL(((((((((((((( ten years using our SLDL with zero problems. Our BFS SLDL is probably the safest lift we teach. The Hex Bar may be used on the SLDL to even further increase safety.<br> Those of you who hve not tried our method, why not give it a shot with yourself and with some of your athletes? You should get some spectacular results. Thanks again toCoach Van De Zande for an 11-type inquiry. Good luck!<br><br><br><br><br>What about the Straight Leg Dead Lift Platform?<br><br>BFS suggests to begin doing Straight Leg Dead Lifts from the floor and then as athletes become more flexible, instead of increasing the weight, they can try it from a bo or platform. This will allow athletes to get the maximum stretch possible which, according to Stefan, is the whole idea of this great auxiliary exercise that can be done quickly, in any weightroom with excellent reults.<br><br><br>The BFS Straight He saw that weightlifters would often perform some variation of the exercise twice in a wor
