At clinics, I will take athletes and get them into a  ready position and grade their knees on a scale of one to ten. There are always bad knees and I rarely give a ten grade until this has been coached.<br>Sometimes, the knees will be outside the toes. This is almost always due to a narrow stance. Simply widen the stance to cure this problem.<br>Many times the knees will also be way forward in front of the toes. The athlete needs to learn to balance himself on the entire foot. The heels cannot come up. Be tall, spread the chest, eyes on target and sit with the hips well back. This will keep the knees aligned over the toes.<br><br>#6 Eyes on Target:<br><br> This is such a wonderful phrase with many applications. Use it all the time in the weight room and during a regular practice. Your target can change depending on the lift or the situation. Training your athletes to keep their eyes on whatever target you dictate will pay big dividends.<br>Squat: eyes on target straight ahead. Power Clean: during the jump phase, the eyes should be on target high on the wall or on a specific point on the ceiling. In one of our feature articles in this journal, an athlete has his eyes down, thus his chin is down and thus out of his power line on a cleaning movement. Can you find it? If you do, you should start smiling as you come to realize that these Six BFS Absolutes are not only for high school beginners but advanced athletes as well. It also means you can become a strength and conditioning expert very quickly.<br>Sprint Stance: Eyes on target three feet in front. Sprinting: Eyes on target straight ahead. Tackling: straight ahead. Jumping: straight ahead.<br>What about when you are three points behind in a football game with only two minutes left and your opponents have the ball. What is your target? The ball! Have fun with this. Be creative!<br><br><br>______________________<br><br><br>THE BFS SIX ABSOLUTES<br><br>Athletic or Jump Stance<br><br>Be Tall <br><br>Spread the Chest <br> (Lock-in Lower Back) <br><br>Toes Aligned <br><br>Knees Aligned <br><br>Eyes on TargetIFTH WEEK TOWEL BENCH<br><br>Look what happened!! The Set Record was smashed by 70 pounds! In addition, a new 3 Rep Record was attained. (Refer to the example on the previous page) 180 pounds should be recorded under the 3rd Break column along with the 3/3 date.<br><br>*Many athletes like to try to break their 10 Rep Record after doing 3 X 3, since this is an easy week. This is called a  Burnout set. <br><br>WANT TO WIN? BREAK A RECORD!<br><br>The Sixth Week: Break your 5 X 5 Set Record! And as many Rep Records as you can.<br><br>The Seventh Week: Break your 5-4-3-2-1 Set Record; and as many Rep Records as you can.<br><br>The Eighth Week: Break your 10-8-6 or 4-4-2 Set Record. And more Rep Records.<br><br>Now keep rotating your workouts in this 4-week cycle. You can expect to break 8 or more records per week or 400 per year for as long as you want. There are 66 possible records to break. Each of the six core lifts has 4 Set Records. That s 24 possible Set Records. The Bench Press, Towel Bench, Squat and Box Squat each have 8 Rep Records, while the Trap Bar Dead Lift and the Clean each have 5 Rep Records. That s a total of 42 possible Rep Records. That s why it is easy to break so many records. Remember we are not concerned with only breaking a 1 rep max, but all kinds of Rep Records. We know, for example if we break a 3 Rep Record that our max will also soon go up. There are even 11 more auxiliary and performance records you can break. What would happen if you broke 8 personal records per week for one year? It kind of boggles the mind doesn t it? The Sky is the Limit!!<br><br>_________________________________________ne people still get asked to speak at clinics because they pay for booth space, but recently it has become embarrassing.
