In the short-term, however, Nelson says the media coverage the controversy received could give the mistaken impression  that everybody is on drugs again. <br>Nelson says that track and field is making a concerted effort to clean up the sport s image with a strict drug testing program.  If the media would look at the statistics they d see that drug use is not as prevalent a problem as they think it is. In this country we get tested, ou of competition, probably 6 to 8 times a year  at least I do. I ve even been tested twice in one day by two different organizations! We make ourselves available to the drug testing agencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no matter what we re doing. The bottom line is that the athletes who are doing drugs are going to get caught. <br>The current world record holder in the shot put is Randy Barnes, who is serving a lifetime suspension for drug use, being tested positive in 1990 and then again in 1998. Nelson sees that record (75 0.25) as tainted, even though Barnes had passed the drug test when he broke the record.  You don t start taking drugs after you break the world record  let s be honest! <br><br>Poliquin Power<br><br>After last year s world championships, Nelson learned about the success of Charles Poliquin, a strength coach who is owner of the Poliquin Performance Center in Tempe, Arizona. Nelson thought Poliquin might be able to take him to an even higher level. <br>Because Nelson is relatively light for a shot-putter, much of Poliquin s early preparation was designed to increase Nelson s bodyweight. About Nelson s previous attempts to add weight, Poliquin commented,  He always did try, but he had a hard time doing it. According to Poliquin, in seven years of testing athletes he s seen only one who had what he would consider a  normal system. Nelson was not that one, as testing by Poliquin s team of doctors discovered that a specific bacterium called proteus mirabilis was affecting Nelson's digestive system, especially his ability to assimilate protein. <br>Within three months he gained 25 pounds of solid muscle and even decreased his body fat by five percent. Nelson says his goal is to add another 15 pounds of muscle before the Olympics.  I thought I was overtraining or just stressed out, says Nelson.  Once we corrected that problem, everything wnt back into place again. I have more energy for training and I ve gotten so much stronger this year. <br>Another priority in Nelson s training was developing muscular balance to prevent injuries.  Adam s current training didn t address muscular balance, so we worked a lot of antagonist muscles to the shot put, says Poliquin.  We did a lot of chin-ups, fat bar work, and a ot of work with partial movements, bands and lifting chains.  One reason that lifting chains work so well is they are one of the few methods that can improve both explosive power and maximal strength at the same time. Adds Nelson,  Chains force you to continually push yourself to accelerate though the lift, rather than keeping a steady pressure. We used them for core lifts such
