For the lower body, one of the best exercises that work the hamstrings is the glute-ham raise.<br>The glute-ham raise begins as a standard back extension, the difference being that after the lower back becomes parallel to the floor, the athlete continues the movement by bending the knees. This additional movement involves the knee extension (bending) function of the hamstrings, whereas the first part of the exercise primarily works the hip extension function of the hamstrings. To perform this exercise comfortably, the machines used for this purpose have a rounded pad.<br>One person who helped popularized the glute-ham exercise was Bud Charniga, a weightlifter who in 1974 snatched 352 pounds, only five pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division. Charniga developed a homemade version of the glute-ham machine after reading an article in a 1971 issue of Strength and Health. Eight years later when he visited Russia, he found that every gym he visited had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the training of Russian weightlifters.<br>Charniga's glute-ham bench consisted of a padded car seat nailed to a carpenter's bench. He placed the bench in front of his power rack, and hooked his legs underneath a barbell so he wouldn't tip over. BFS has refined this design, and recently introduced the roller glute-ham, an adjustable machine that offers the benefit of a round pad that rotates as the athlete moves.<br>The window of opportunity an athlete has to achieve optimal performance is all too brief, and it's a shame to see athletes shorten that time even more by suffering from hamstring injuries. Make sure you don't hamstring yourself by overtraining. Instead, work out smart with core exrcises, post-stretching and proper technique.ge athlete is at the age to really get after it and make success happen. Get the Total Program Book, the Set-Rep Log Book and the Total Program Video. The pro-level is the toughest time to start because there are so many games. Athletes over 28 who play over 100 games a year have a difficult time maintaining a workout schedule and being able to recover. The time to start is now. The younger the better.<br>FINAL NOTE <br><br>What was the best thing about Mark McGwire's history making 70-home run season? To me, it was his relationship with his son. The towering 500-foot blasts were great but I was more impressed when he hugged his son so often after circling the bases.<br>In our next issue (Spring 1999), we will feature LSU's remarkable baseball program. They are the two-time defending NCAA National Champions. This will be an in-depth feature artile with great interviews from players and coaches. They do what they are supposed to do and the results speak for themselves. Look forward to it!<br><br>________________________________________<br><br>Coach Shepard s 1996 Prediction:<br><br> In the baseball future even smaller players who play shortstop will be hitting home runs. <br><br>Alex broke the shortstop home run record in 1998 with 42 round trippers.<br>_______________________________________<br><br>Baseball players must Parallel Squat and Power Clean to develop their maximum power. If baseball players were to really get after these two lifts and do them correctly, you d have to do one of two things. Either move the fences back another 50 feet or get used to football-like scores. Since the new staff has been there and the team has been lifting the BFS way, the Pirates have had three scholarships with ten current players being heavily recruited. pVWE/ƏUpW>禇_׫>sG<ɭ13aK{<rw֖Q0/%<6 b'Z(; lٰ+YfRyz/-Z^GE?H66x6Qi*jV#?ʄחb ~ v ^N|WOK(>'_d$ysD@r#æ_RlTQsQwut2ErKyL$(DŽGaVzzKWe> ?8CXhBXv`B6w6hBXv`B6w)hBXv`B6w6hBXv`B6w hBXv`B6w6hBXv`B6whBXv`B6w6hBXv`B6wthBXv`B6wShBXv`B6w6hBXv`Brk&(Xv`B6wز6hBXv`B6whBXv`B6wH6hBXv`B6wyVhBXv`B6w6hBXv`B6wShBXv`B6wx6hBXv`B6wrVhBXv`B6wȳ6hBXv`B6whBXv`B6wX6hBXv`B6wpoVhBXv`B6w6hBXv`B6w8 (hB
