That is the reason for the different-size chains. For example, I would not want to put on 37 extra pounds for an athlete who only bench presses 150 pounds. It would not work as intended. I would not want to add an extra 55 pounds for an athlete who parallel squats 215 pounds. It would prove to be too difficult. However, for someone who parallel squats or box squats 500-plus pounds, the 55-pound All-American chain would be a great but still realistic challenge that would produce the intended results.<br><br>The Varsity Chain: For athletes who bench less than 200 pounds and squat with less than 300 pounds.<br><br>The All-State Chain: For athletes who bench between 200 and 300 pounds, and squat between 300 and 400 pounds. <br><br>The All-American Chain: For athletes who bench over 300 pounds and squat over 400 pounds. <br><br>Versatility: Two chains will fit easily on each side of the bar. Therefore, different combinations can be created. By putting the All-State and All-American Chains on together, you can add 62 pounds on the bench and 95 pounds on the squat.<br>Recording: I recommend recording what is on the bar plus the code of whatever chain you are using. Use  VC for the Varsity Chain,  AS for the All-State Chain and  AA for the All-American Chain. For example, an athlete who does 185 pounds plus the Varsity Chain would record <br>185 VC.<br>The BFS Lifting Chains will make a difference. Our easy-on/off collar makes their use extremely effective and safe. Have fun with them and get new maxes quicker than ever before!th 3.83 grade average!), and he works his butt off in the gym. People ask if he's stubborn? He's 16 years old-how would you answer that? He's normal. <br>In addition to the guidance and support of his father, Casey has another weightlifting role model to inspire him, Olympian and still one of America's best lifters, Tommy Gough. When he lived near the Burgeners' home in Bonsall, California, Mike provided Tommy coaching support and a place to train.  Tommy was always one of Casey's idols, says Mike, and adds that Casey would measure himself in comparison to Tommy's accomplishments.  Whatever Tommy did at his age, Casey would always want to match or beat that. He wanted to have the same success as Tommy. <br>Casey agrees,  I've been looking up to Tommy since I started weightlifting. I admire his courage and motivation--he's 100 percent focused on lifting. There were times when we would invite him for dinner and he would say  No, no-I have to finish my workout first.  <br>As for non-American lifters, Casey admires Stefan Botev, a Bulgarian who could outlift the super heavyweight Vasili Alexseev despite giving up over 100 pounds of bodyweight to the great Russian.  I love watching Stefan lift--he's so amazing, so incredibly strong. He also admires 1996 Olympic Champion in the 238-pound class Timur Taimazov of the Ukraine.  His technique is good, not great, but he's very strong, says Casey.  Whenever he lifts, the weights look like nothing for him. <br><br>Training for Gain<br><br>As a coach, Mike believes that Casey's greatest physical talent as a weightlifter is his athleticism.  Casey's Snatch is much ahead of his clean and Jerk at this point, and that's because of his neuromuscular abilities. Casey's technique is awesome, and h
