I guess that s not a bad thing to have happen, said Coach Adams.<br> Bigger Faster Stronger is great because the guys can see their own progress. Their competition with themselves is the real fuel to their fire. I have noticed constant improvement in the quality of work the guys are doing. Also, the time in the weight room allows for strong bonds to form between teammates. This dynamic team unity that begins in the weight room carries over to their on- and off-field relationships with each other. I like to think that a lot of our success is formed from the family environment that is initially created in the weight room, Riccio said.<br>This off-season the Mountain Lions are once again hard at work in the weight room in hopes of taking that next step of playing for a state championship next year. For two years in a row the Altoona players and coaches have come up one game short. But that s all the more reason to work that much harder this year. And one area of improvement will be with the in-season weight program.<br> I don t think we ve done a great job with the in-season program. If we want to win a state championship, I think it s going to come from not being satisfied with maintaining our strength throughout the season. We need to keep getting stronger, and the BFS in-season program is going to help! said Adams.<br>In 2003, the Mountain Lions expect nothing less than a trip to the state championship. And there is reason for their optimism. They have two of the best offensive linemen in the state of Pennsylvania in Sean Shannon and Zack Haulman. Whatever the outcome, the Mountain Lions know the road to the state championship will go through the weight room first.r two years, eats no candy, no pastries, no potato chips, no donuts, no fries, no deserts and is always focused when he does a workout. Says Nik,  There is no music, no cable TV; it is total focus. You pick up your weights. You are in the weight room for one reason and that is to get better. <br>Nik also plays football at Mountain View as a defensive end. He made All-Region as a junior but because of a big upcoming track meet commitment in Chile (South America), he might miss some of this year s football games. Nik s father said,  I like Nik playing football now but at first I didn t. You always worry about injuries. Nik has had fun playing plus I believe football has helped him with agility and quickness. <br>Nik s football goal is to win a Region championship and then see what happens at state. His track goals are to break Kami s national Discus record, throw 67 feet in the Shot and 70-plus in the Weight Throw. Nik has the philosophy that success comes through hard work and setting goals.  Do whatever you can to attain those goals, advises Nik.<br> Knowledge is power, so they say, and Nik knows how an why to train.  Everything in throwing comes from the legs. That is why the Power Clean, Snatch and Squats are so important. <br>In the Discus Ring, Nik tries to relax and get his positions right.  You can t get too much in your head, but mentally you have got to be focused. It s a little different in football. You have to get intense but at the same time, you have to get your assignment correct. You must be in the right position and help your teammates. You should always be mentally up and don t let anyone else get down. The weight roo
