The reason I don t pick out the best athlete is that I want all athletes and coaches to see that if this kid can do it, that maybe a lot more can. After they see the three Power Balance Lifts done, it is amazing. Everyone is begging to try them. <br>POWER BALANCE LIFT #1: Do a Power Snatch and stand erect in an athletic stance. Now squat all the way down while maintaining great balance and technique. Hold the low position for three seconds and then stand erect again. See Photo #3 with Baron Holmes who is a 9th grade receiver at Cathedral City High School in California. I also did a BFS Clinic there last June. The previous lifting experience of the Cathedral High School athletes was limited. So Baron went from a raw rookie to  looking good in one day. <br>POWER BALANCE LIFT #2: Place the bar on your shoulders like you are going to do a Back Squat while using a Snatch grip. Again squat all the way down like Baron and balance yourself. Now, see if you can press the weight all the way up so you look like Photo #3 again. The trick is to see if you can press the bar up from your shoulders while maintaining perfect balance.<br>POWER BALANCE LIFT #3: Do Drill #2 but now see if you can press it up, hold it for three seconds and then stand erect; all without losing your balance!<br>The athletes are yelling at me from their stations,  Coach Shepard look at me! I can do it! As it usually turns out, well over half the athletes can do it. This naturally leads into a great ending as we talk about the great success of the day as well as the future. Hopefully, you can use this article and do the same thing. Good luck!<br>Recommended Sets & Reps: Two sets of five reps on each lift.ion. Both systems have their athletes work hard and both produce results. <br>As I have studied both systems, I have found one major difference. The HIT (High Intensity) strength coaches focus on training to prevent injuries with a well-conditioned body. Other coaches and BFS who use the secret, focus on performance records. How fast can you run? How high and far can you jump? How much can you lift? How much can you improve in those areas? Personal records are meticulously kept in order to verify that improvement. That is what drives throwers and most athletes. Therefore, even throwers at the HIT schools do the secret. We at BFS are the same way. We constantly measure our performance. We need concrete proof that we are getting better every day. <br>Stefan Fernholm was a Discus thrower from Sweden who came to BYU to compete at the college level. He broke the NCAA collegiate record and was a past Olympian. Stefan became a part of BFS in the mid-1980 s. We owe him a great deal. He bridged the gap between the United States and the old Soviet Union. Stefan was privy and knowledgeable about the Soviet training methods. The Soviets spent hundreds of million of dollars on developing their system. They took the secret in the early 1970 s and elevated it to new levels. They took training very seriously. Their coaches, for example, could get a doctorate in discus, sprinting or weight lifting at the University of Moscow.<br>Stefan took full advantage of this knowledge. I have never seen an athlete like Stefan. For those who saw Stefan, you know I am not blowing smoke
