as I think about where our BFS Program came from, I would have to single out three primary sources.  First, George Frenn, who symbolizes and personifies the throwers in track and field in the late 1960’s.  Second, Stefan Fernholm, who was also a thrower, brought to BFS all the remarkable knowledge from the old SoYП	,  Ђon and the Eastern European nations in the 1980’s.  Finally, the third source is the high school and college athletes I coached earlier in my career from the mid-60’s to the late-70’s.  They were the inspiration for the BFS Set-Rep System.<br>George Frenn was a Hammer Thrower.  His training methods molded him into our nation’s best thrower in his day.  During the summers in the late 1960’s, I would live in the Los Angeles area to be near George.  During the school year, I was a football coach in the state of Washington.  I had already been a strength coach at the University of Oregon and Oregon State. I had trained some with the San Diego Chargers in the mid-sixties, who were at the forefront of weight training for pro football.   I also had lived in Austria for a year and was on an Olympic Weight Lifting team.   So, I didn’t exactly just fall off the turnip truck.  But, when I saw George train, I knew this was it.  He had the secret.  <br>Along with George, there were many other throwers who came from all over the country to live in the LA area whe       "О	,  Ђ

						Nik Arrhenius could lay claim to history’s top high school Discus thrower even though     ёч  ч’ј €С1Ађrld or American record.  This article will explain why I feel so strongly about Nik’s ab`О	,y	 Ђd it will also outline the success formula which made this possible.<br>Nik is beginning his senior year at Mountain View High School in Utah.  Therefore, all of his personal bests were officially recorded as a junior.  Also, Nik just barely turned 17 this last summer, so he is a young senior.  His personal bests are as follows: Bench 405, Power Clean 315, Power Snatch 225, Parallel Squat 570, Front Squat 440, Push Press 375 and Dumbbell Bench 135 pounds.  At 6-3 238, Nik runs a 4.65 forty and has thrown the Shot 63-0 feet, the Discus 213-5 and the Weight Throw 67-10 feet.  Impressive to be sure but the high school Discus record  is 225-2, set by Kamy Keshmiri (1987).  Several othe
