It became obvious to all that something special had happened to the mountain men of Oakhurst, but what the community did not realize was that the athletes had spent long hours preparing for those hard fougt battles. The many hours of summer training had prepared them to be the best.<br> <br>Team Leaders<br><br>Six foot three 280 lb. senior Cole Popovich was an amazing leader in the weight room, having destroyed almost every lifting record in Badger history. At the age of 17, Popovich was able to parallel squat 500 lbs, bench 365, hex dead 565, and proved his explosiveness with a 320 lb. power clean! <br> The most impressive record that Cole set was his vertical leap& , said Eames, his voice teeming with emotion.  To have a 280 lb lineman who can leap 35  vertically, and has a standing broad jump of 9 5 really gives the team an almost unfair advantage. <br>That advantage is exactly what the coaching staff utilized. They placed the mountain-sized mammoth at the heart of their offense and defensive line. The division one prospect saw his love for the weight room translate into domination at the line of scrimmage.<br> The common mistake that people made, commented Popovich,  was thinking that our team had the biggest line on the field. The truth is that guys like John Garcia made the difference. <br> John Garcia, recipient of the Badger s  Iron Man award, started at offensive guard being only 5 8 and 170 lbs, proved that the BFS program can elevate a smaller or lighter player to a competitive level! John might not have been bigger than his opponents but he was faster and stronger. Lifting well over three times his body weight, Garcia could lift an amazing 585 lbs in the box squat! His improvement record is outstanding: comparing his freshman and junior year he iare fined.  We haven t had anyone miss for two years, Coach Johnston recollected.  In that instance, Coach Holmgren really let that player have it at practice. Coach Holmgren is a super person to work for. If any player didn t commit to weights, Reggie and Brett would take care of them anyway. <br>I marveled at the similarity between the Green Bay and BFS Strength and Conditioning programs. I shrugged,  Well Ken, we re either on the Green Bay program or you re on the BFS program. We both laughed. Coach Johnston remarked,  Bigger Faster Stronger has a great deal going for them, especially for the high school coach. <br>Coach Johnston believes in Box Squats and Partial Benches. These two lifts form the backbone of the BFS program. They make evrything hum along like a beautiful song. They create a huge advantage during the season especially at the high school level. They create a nice advantage during the off-season with speed and jump drills. They help the athlete avoid plateaus in all lifts but especially with the Parallel Squat and Bench Press.<br>Since many weight room do not have a Power Rack, we at BFS evolved to the Towel or Padded Bench Press instead of Partials. I learned the Box Squat and Partial Bench Press secret in Los Angeles in the late 1960 s. Louis Simmons, now from Columbus, Ohio, learned the same secret from the same source. Hence, he calls his gym,  The West Side Barbell Club. At a glance around the Green Bay weight room, I could immediately tell that Simmons had quite an influence on Coach Johnston.  It is my understanding that two other pro-teams are doing the Box Squats and Partial Benches, concluded Coach Johnston. them, says Coach Schultz.  It s taken quite seriously. <br><br>Family and Tradition<br><br> Historically, many NSˆ5-f6lثf͊6lثTYKk9H6'F=KNRkyG]ՇPGB1"14mjZ&\@qL ?<2rѰS-uukv?lTXQbH;L g1ټt"XJFrKP %- :!{s3Qb)Ȋ}cac 3}`Y$W(NF~ɨa9vAէ0m[ChLƵR6buܐ?M)jmwMHtIO:yw?-ijHD%uG⯙4"6" O5ȮeV~&>'EixVx<? n!>֓)hu3XKVܱ1%dv<4pQyuhR^YH5I=Cgav:R[oY)OsM7@󌚒Mgg1Sf[Tox[|1O{8JPXuS+(B1ȟfDŞ{qv.꜌/ \@ n)=͈sT;wŰ+f͊6lثfPzka@= Դ=_NFv~VO%q?.!<$SmI($xm:gѩC\+}7Љx272U1LjDl͟čUc_zFop OWָx(?*s[o4iJ?
