With all the Olympic lifting that you ve been doing, do you believe you could exceed that right now?<br>Hamman: I do, because when I did powerlifting I deadlifted only once a week or once every two weeks. Now I m doing pulls and Romanian deadlifts three to four times a week, so I think my back is a lot stronger.<br><br>BFS: Could you discuss your powerlifting squat style? I ve heard it described as a dive-bomb style.<br>Hamman: It was nothing I worked on, it was a natural thing to me. What I did was just drop as fast as I could boom! and then come up. Nobody else was doing it at the time. One thing that I think helped is my thick knee joints, which held up under it and helped me get a bit of a bounce out of the bottom.<br><br>BFS: I heard you pulled a quad doing front squats a few years ago. What happened?<br>Hamman: Right before the 1999 Pan Am Games I tried a 660-pound front squat, and ripped it on the way down.<br> <br>BFS: I also heard that you tried Active Release Treatment Techniques by Dr. Mike Leahy to help you recover quickly and you were able to win the gold medal in that competition.<br>Hamman: Yes, Dr. Leahy s active release treatments helped my injury heal a lot faster.<br><br>BFS: Do you still get treated with active release?<br>Hamman: Yes, I get Active Release Treatments at least twice a week from Dr. Leahy or Dr. Gary Wood it s the one thing special I do that really helps keep me in sh
