It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himself.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four years of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>.&nbsp; Besides hurting, it is unlikely the athlete will have the bar placed on his shoulders correctly.</P> <P align=left>On the other end of the spectrum, I've seen athletes wimp a bar off the rack.&nbsp; Many times this athlete will not be in a good solid squatting position as he backs up to a ready stance.</P> <P align=left>A far superior way is to come under the bar in a great solid proper power position, making sure everything is correct.&nbsp; Get the bar in the groove on your shoulders.&nbsp; Look straight ahead.&nbsp; Spread the chest.&nbsp;Get in your athletic stance. Now, this next technique point is most critical.&nbsp; Get your athletic stance directly under the bar.&nbsp; Many athletes will stand&nbsp;a foot back and lean forward.&nbsp; This is asking for trohљi^qr|j޻}D{ {vY鎠kjI/ 8 9lUYDi`-Ji z00JƆX8sy=H5$w,if#co5:*쐬Cc]#v~dk7!R>}0WCTq|Y[pJdM+OZIu# W$?d&ǚv_3ygSpPtzsgAUe@jg.zv営OF4$gIţ#d:kX)nm?q-z?`d3Q#5F<?>X4 P]G8۸asďpi`' ֖ >=wVO=T (1(J'E0xRi$CZf)Ԟ!*Lp&]GqH@ r[>1[6Iݍ@M'=K~cڕS ߉szǹa{Þ=3g=R$'S\OюG`+_JjqZ3_WoapCn^e⾏6RT 5i!+FӐ\`aj^uTd[0C 5(~˕|.;j)Oqܴ$xq+dېhp;y9vb&7#V(c^R$qlT4ݰ|{Pw fPZmw{;}%mvyhu #~`9ӌԩ,R8j3g,\Xcrq$Z m*#KTwr[KnnICo'b{w:ubGom^j5k\,U sm "kbP֬ vqn d̛a'Nفu`F+szBI .Hrx[j ,ޮY:bFZL)u6S\X L>!вp_75i`B86=#ٻ lh9!|aw1+&eX6e EG7V i]^/'q}A3X `rЀ`0-sn4 ^SYXd$ISG*D9) ݜ|§IǀeI?NMI^-|y'jTߖxh>-?g/ce m!HrF٨m[rsQV:ERNXԛK, |ivAqT V|\9*W5HwFem&0l{H.Dg]UO)uPI [60 peyV9:Y,5 /V;JDvAˍ/٭KidϸdkQ 񫈤5Ҳ(E5% X4r5Om؍ԭ>^kIܟ0Fa[}{ma$2EƖ\5p[b#O1)Vd.HУÉMfv2hŮd8U<,E4:4d\ Mq7MgVJ9[ӧM<W3I3j/iPrY/ŀQ]#8HA݋#Z&HQ:pRģK1VZ*r[.l#?奬KzNG*XihN,NlL qzM+/N.U14.
