However, most of the football players enjoy the workouts and are in the complex working four to five days a week, constantly striving to break their own records.<br> We have a lot of players who we need to watch carefully because they want to train every day. We are to the point now where we don t have to worry about getting kids to lift, but rather we have to make sure they don t overtrain. 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.LA team.  Other than the fact that there's a lot of experience on this line, one of the great things about this offensive line is that everybody on the line enjoys hanging out together, off the field as well as on the field, says Saffer.  This really promotes team unity and even helps us on the field because we're able to communicate better -- it seems like we know what each other is thinking before we're thinking it. This is important, because with the offensive line you have to play as a unit. <br>Asked what advice he would give young offensive linemen, Saffer replies,  You need to make sure you know your sets, and know what you're supposed to do on every play. But I would say the most important aspect of being a lineman is to be a technician-if your technique isn't good then you've got nothing. As for which college a high school athlete should aspire to, Saffer believes an athlete can't go wrong with UCLA.  UCLA has the perfect combination of athletics and academia. It's easy to get lost in athletics, but they've got such a great academic program you can really involve yourself in those classes as well. Also, our fans are loyal and support us with everything they've got. <br>Among the people Saffer wants to thank for helping him achieve his goals are Jerry Holmes, who coached Saffer when he played youth basketball, and Glenn Howell.  Glenn was a very close friend of the family who you could say tutored me in life as well as in athletics since I was in high school. I worked out with him all the time, and he's been a tremendous influence on my life. <br>With his standout abilities and attitude, Mike Saffer has earned his place in the UCLA history boo
