Julie remembered that because of her lack of experience that she was a little intimidated by lifting at first but after the first week that all ended. The opposite was true of Rachel as she grew up with free weights.<br>Everyone on the team loves breaking personal records at such a rapid pace. Julie says that it gives you more incentive and you just know you are going to break some records every workout. She likes seeing results every week. Rachel says,  Oh yeah, I broke at least eight records every week. Rachel s favorite lift is the Hex Bar Lift with the Towel Bench a close second while Julie s is the Parallel Squat. Julie Benches 120, Squats 165 and Cleans 100 pounds while Rachel Benches 185, Squats 235 and Cleans 135 pounds. Julie has a 26-inch vertical jump and Rachel s is 19 inches.<br>Julie feels her work in strength and conditioning has helped her greatly.  It s helped me with my speed and not getting knocked around. I can also play a lot longer now. <br>Rachel is also very positive.  I was probably the slowest on the team when I came to Regis but now I can keep up with anyone. Also, I can box out much taller girls. <br>After graduation Julie might try to play and some very economical.</P> <P>"Another thing I like is sled work.&nbsp; Dragging the sled and doing sled lunges with a sled harness can be great.&nbsp; I don't look at sled work as speed tools but I use them to develop functional strength."</P> <P>The Packers incorporate martial arts training for flexibility, joint mobility and range of motion.&nbsp;&nbsp;They do this two to three times per week in the off-season.&nbsp; "We stretch our players for five minutes before practice," said Coach Johnston, "but before that we do a lot of functional warm-ups like high knees, waking lunges, butt kicks, etc.&nbsp; We also do the BFS&nbsp;Dot Drill 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> <>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 prgram.&nbsp; They make everything hum along like a beautiful song.&nbsp; They create a huge adantage 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 the future, doing things to get ready for the future. That s why our workout card is so valuable. Every day the kids come
