M^)FP!K=i ,3%Vɧ: xL=(1 JNI5{sv`".U=eMsQz߻r*)&NOiq-mߜvqF_;D܃jư½fh-mVf:0cZStefan felt the lock-kneed SLDL was one of the very most important lifts for developing speed. He said the greater your hamstring flexibility, the more fluid of a running movement you can achieve. It s like adding a high grade oil to the pistons of your engine. I personally tested Stefan s flexibility. He could stretch, with locked knees, 9.5 inches past his toes. That partially explains his 4.3 times and his 40-inch Vertical Jump from a stand.<br>We have been endorsing and teaching Stefan s method for the last 15 years. I know without a doubt this is superior way. I have done it both ways. The results, in my mind, are not even close. There is no danger to the lumbar spine area simply because of the very light weight involved. When we trained the Utah Jazz, the players really liked the feel of our method. They felt the SLDL was their second most favorite lift.<br>As far as endangerment to an athlete s spine with our method, our research shows that it is non-existent because of the light weight that is always used. Our BFS Clinicians have collectively trained perhaps as many as 20,000 student-athletes over the last ten years using our SLDL with zero problems. Our BFS SLDL is probably the safest lift we teach. The Hex Bar may be used on the SLDL to even further increase safety.<br> Those of you who have not tried our method, why not give it a shot with yourself and with some of your athletes? You should get some spectacular results. Thanks again to Coach Van De Zande for an 11-type inquiry. Good luck!<br><br><br><br><br>What about the Straight Leg Dead Lift Platform?<br><br>BFS suggests to begin doing Straight Leg Dead Lifts from the floor and then as athletes become more flexible, instead of increasing the weight, they can try it from a box or platform. This will allow athletes to get the maximum stretch possible which, according to Stefan, is the whole idea of this great auxiliary exercise that can be done quickly, in any weightroom with excellent results.<br><br><br>The BFS Straight Leg Dead Lift Platform is available from Bigger Faster Stronger for only $79. It is very solid and stable. It also is constructed of solid steel with a diamond tread top plate to prevent slipping. It is painted with a wrinkle black paint.><br>The Seventh Week: Break your 5-4-3-2-1 Set Record; and as many Rep Records as you can.<br><br>The Eighth Week: Break your 10-8-6 or 4-4-2 Set Record. And more Rep Records.<br><br>Now keep rotating your workouts in this 4-week cycle. You can expect to break 8 or more records per week or 400 per year for as long as you want. There are 66 possible records to break. Each of the six core lifts has 4 Set Records. That s 24 possible Set Records. The Bench Press, Towel Bench, Squat and Box Squat each have 8 Rep Records, while the Trap Bar Dead Lift and the Clean each have 5 Rep Records. That s a total of 42 possible Rep Records. That s why it is easy to break so many records. Remember we are not concerned with only breaking a 1 rep max, but all kinds of Rep Records. We know, for example if we break a 3 Rep Record that our max will also soon go up. There a the playoffs, which means the off-season is much longer than the season. BFS is our off-season program, and the whole concept that Dr. Shepard put together leads our charge. That s our catalyst. <br><br>Planning for the Future<br><br>When asked if he thinks the team s recent success could result in a complacent attitude next season, Allosso replied,  We won five games by less than a touchdown  we came from behind to win. We know we cannot be complacent. There are always exceptions and kids are kids, but we feel good about next year because we have the  XCB XCQ6wT{rS6wZrS
