You need to be explosive and strong to throw far, and these lifts were the way to get explosive and strong. <br>While at Skyline Dan earned a scholarship to Utah State, where he majored in history.  It was a tough decision to go to Utah State because I would be leaving such a great environment for lifting and throwing, but I knew I needed to grow and to extend my vision of the world. After graduating Dan worked briefly in a cheese factory cleaning up, and it was at this point in his life that he made a critical discovery:  I don t like cleaning up burnt cheese. Thus enlightened, Dan returned to school to get a master s degree in history and religious education.<br>At his athletic best, Dan was a competitor in what many regard as the  Golden Age of Throwing.  When I was a senior I threw 190, which was just a remarkable throw  until you compared it to national records, says Dan.  It s funny, because I was up at a track meet in Las Vegas this fall and I met a college coach from Delaware. When we got to talking about the numbers that I threw on Sunday, he said I would have dominated his conference. I thought,  A 46-year-old man would have won his conference  that s amazing.  <br>Dan s athletic accomplishments and practical coaching wisdom eventually caught the attention of BFS President Dr. Greg Shepard. The first time Dan met Greg was in 1980 at the Hill Air Force Base Powerlifting meet, where Dan was competing for the Utah State Powerlifting Team. Recalls Dan,  It was about two in the morning during the deadlift competition, and I was sitting around in the warm-up room when Greg came up to me and asked me what I was opening with. I said I was starting light at 573 pounds, just to get a mark, and I think it almost knocked Greg down. After that we kept bumping into each other at competitions, and then I started working out at the Upper Limit Gym when it opened up. That was a great place to work out because the Utah Jazz trained there, and Greg and his BFS staff made certain they took their lifting seriously. One day when I was working out Greg asked me if I wanted to work at the gym, and I accepted. That started my relationship with BFS. <br>If there s one major struggle Dan has had as an athlete, it s with his bodyweight. In college it was as high as 272, which Dan says was pretty solid because he was lifting hard. Dan was able to lean down after college; he quit training from 1981 to 1987 to concentrate on his career. When he got back into training he allowed his bodyweight to go up again, and by 1995 he accepted the fact that he was fat and had to do something about it. <br>To get lean, Dan went on a low-carb, high-protein diet. Dan s description of a good breakfast:  meat, eggs and other stuff. A bad breakfast:  not meat, eggs, and other stuff. In a few months he dropped 50 pounds.  It s funny, I got down to 206, and I found that I could throw the discus just as far as I did when I was heavier  and my injuries disappeared. <br><br>The State of the Sport<br><br>Although Dan says the US stilDUq0:6=][T0|fHuix^ 9VCh$&Hp Hm=DÚ,9"Ċ"&)ee%e}TXϝ `Qa-ՎT8y&wm~~ CЧ`;Ta۝xH̪JXY/6.kC"3>ܣ(ӷZDD13r9I4sbjs$.FI$ ~tSQyl Ƕn=ǓoV^^i8C0j܏#>aKD|QiH4eoSS~aBG<'#cm4*";_kEHp Pn,G4@oĆhdhľUfCu4KP0v Og'(h'&XX5mJxmMH?&pؒ+&Mg(DoӤRl*JְQUEpz!ijyKXy+B0]TJ{vՙ#[vPG&xgR 6]ډ<>pr.Z,fF O Dx35xO^29p|a\8rU<397Ub!#jh4=ojRG$0p<*7Bv#cmbK_z>Z\V˃Ɔ@Kح&Ga; 'զ׬}/FNSaʌii>Nbn[o*2}M[wR=S6Oj78Wykme>U!|UܕƷ֑τ:kⲫ9 ڿf_h:uVހZt3~uǑ)E23{\oW_8?\us??:W ɡ&(y.O$XTuIE&qCy5u9d&d~ 1eV\-8'#3"s0"qQ}BqՊ89r'5tqQ@k$zD)12|\W+`~#@~ە`n lfrFC)☛Ju J& Wnߢ_9\I#ck^8PH c58I&Yjp9 Cq7=ꛚ!X̙AQ z`s zL@9I<ȫʉoK3i4GsYߏ̗bqu5a+Ճ"*@uo02Vs8-6י_'IJ/vۛ\/NJPLrj:FӨ H`Vu+$OYA`7%C_ID3prl?ĜEpybh[,ꏲ' l>T^稸ү)>M{h?s}= L##Cɾ0L#)M2_1N<0D{x ~kުaD(=dd6@Җ+{z/ ^Eʦ9`!ZHc?ݮ_/_*gꣻ5>کk=H[T訛gb:NqQh@s7mUX L8ô&ӻq*E[ dcdmXڈLH/Q!Uoux8/^vvIH`''4Kw  '';Kw  ''<Kw  '';Kw  ''ǨKw  ''HTKw  ''ΨKw  ''UKw  ''PGKw  ''UKw  ''~}Kw  ''VKw  ''/Kw  ''WKw  ''WKw  ''ĨKw  ''XXKw  ''u}Kw  ''(YKw  p>
