In this country we get tested, out 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 went 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 lot 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 as inclines and squats. <br>This will give you an idea of how strong Nelson has become since addressing his health issues and using these unique training methods: When Nelson started with Poliquin, he could incline press 385 pounds using a 3-inch-thick bar; now he does 525. <br>Poliquin alters his training strategies to accommodate the requirements of various field athletes. He comments,  The different implements require different amounts of force in the force-velocity curve. In other words, the heavier the implement, the stronger the athlete has to be. The hammer throw requires more strength than the discus or javelin, and the shot put requires the most explosive strength. Thus, to use a simple example, a hammer thrower may need to concentrate more on the squat, whereas the shot-putter mao 12, Tony Olliff is Kacey s wrestling coach and friend. But even with his help, Kacey must improvise and figure out his unique biomechanics to get a win.<br> Coach Olliff s the best, sayshv/also praises his other coach, Molly Gaily.  Tony jokes a lot, but he always pushes and encourages me. Last year he got down on the mat and tried not to use his legs, to feel it from my vantage. But he can t duplicate how I would do it, so he just lets me be creative. He s gives good tips, like different ways to do a cradle and stuff like that, bu mostly he lets me do it on my own. <br> Kacey s style is very unorthodox, says Ryan Stephenson, a McNary senior who is ranked second in the state in the 103-pound class.  I ve learned a lot about wrestling from him. I have to really use my hands to keep him off my legs. I ve definitely become a better wrestler because of Kacey. He s much better than I20P^P-
