When I was a senior I threw 190, which was just a remarkable throw  until you compared it to national records, says Dan.  It s funny, because I was up at a track meet in Las Vegas this fall and I met a college coach from Delaware. When we got to talking about the numbers that I threw on Sunday, he said I would have dominated his conferene. I though,  A 46-year-old man would have won his conference  that s amazing.  <br>Dan s athletic accomplishments and practical coaching wisdom eventually caught the attention of BFS President Dr. Greg hepard. The first time Dan met Greg was i 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 whatI 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, and then I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah azz 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 wated 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 as 272, 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.  I s funny, I got down to 206, and I found that I could throw the discus just as far as I did when I was heavier  and my injuries disappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stilDUq0:6=][T0|fHuix^ 9VCh$&Hp HmDÚ,9"Ċ"&)ee%e}TX `Qa-ՎT8y&wm~~ CЧ`;Ta۝xH̪JXY/6.kC"3>ܣ(ӷZDD13r9I4sbjs$.FI$ ~tSQyl Ƕn=ǓoV^^i8C0j܏#>aKD|QiH4eoSS~aBG<'#cm4*";_kEߘTEzgXys#䌰,G4@oĆhdhUfCu4KP0v Og'(h'&XX5mJxmMH?&pؒ+&Mg(DoӤRl*JְQUEpz!ijyKXy+B0]TJ{vՙ#[vPG&xgR 6]ډ<>pr.Z,fF O D>T?Uˮطw5ڮ1aʆДv,ݰ؝e52I.u'*: ر7rz LjrXtyVc!^MpGج3X*69^ɱoLZTShH"yDG0/uT~XP Uѕ?
