Tricia was on a roll as she participated in her first World Cup and earned a bronzemedal.<br>Tricia began to think in higher terms.  I took a leave of absence from work, remembered Tricia. She never returned.  I felt I had a chance to achieve a medal in the 2002 Olympics. In May of 2000, I met Eric Snowden, a BFS Certified Coach and President of Pro-Elite Strength Systems. Eric asked a thought provoking question,  Tricia, how serious are you? <br>Tricia replied,  I m serious. I quit my job. Eric decided to train Tricia.  I began the BFS Program and what a difference. I went from being ranked 10th to 4th in the world. And, of course, with skeleton becoming an Olympic sport, many new people entered the arena of competition. With my BFS Training Program, I was absolutely able to tell the difference. For the first time, I was able to sustain my strength during the season. I competed in Germany, Canada, Austria and Japan. I not only made positive changes in my training but Eric also helped me with my eating habits and rest. <br> It was important for Tricia to compete internationally, said Snowden.  She earned World Cup points. Tricia has been to all but one track now on the international circuit. She will hit that remaining one this year. <br> This helps in the development of new skills, said Tricia. I race better on a regular basis in the off-season."</P> <P>The Packers do Power Pulls which is a Power Clean movement in addition to Dumbbell Cleans and Dumbbell Cleans and Presses.&nbsp; Overhead Squats are done with a snatch grip for balance, along with a ton of mdicine ball work.</P> <P>At Green Bay, if you miss a scheduled workout, you are fined.&nbsp; "We haven't had anyone miss for two years," Coach Johnston recollected.&nbsp; "In that instance, Coach Holmgren really let that player have it at practice.&nbsp; Coach Holmgren is a super person to work for.&nbsp; If any player didn't commit to weights, Reggie and Brett would take care of them anyway." </P> <P>I marveled at the similarity between the Green Bay and BFS Strength and Conditioning programs.&nbsp; I shrugged, "Well Ken, we're either on the Green Bay&nbsp;program or you're on the BFS program."&nbsp; We both laughed.&nbsp; Coach Johnston remarked,"Bigger Faster Stronger has a great deal going for them, especially for the high school coach."</P> <P>Coach Johnston believes in Box Squats and Partial Benches.&nbsp; These two lifts form the backbone of the BFS program.&nbsp; They make everything hum along like a beautiful song.&nbsp; They create a huge advantage during the season especially at the high school level.&nbsp; They create a nice advantage during the off-season with speed and jump drills.&nbsp; They help the athlete avoid plateaus in all lifts but especially with the Parallel Squat and Bench Press.</P> <P>Since many wieght rooms do not have a Power Rack, we at BFS evolved to the Towel or Padded Bench Press instead of Partials.&nbsp; I learned the Box Squat&nbsp; and Partial Bench Press secret in Los Angeles in the late 1960's.&nbsp; Louis Simmons, now from Columbus, Ohio, learned the same secret from the same source.&nbsp; Hence, he cal
