In college you re accountable for your guys lifting or not lifting, he says.  In the pros, the players are accountable for themselves it affects their paycheck directly. But that doesn t mean you re baby-sitting or telling the guys,  Come on, come on. You have to work out, please, at least not in our organization. We believe in letting them sink or swim, and it works out pretty well. Everyone is treated like an adult, like a pro. <br><br>The Athletics weight room is a serious place to train, but also a good place.  Let s face it, says Alejo,  the last couple of years we haven t been as good as we d like, and there were a lot of reasons for the guys not to come and work out. To keep the weight room user-friendly, Alejo keeps the music going and all the TV'S tuned to the various games going on across the country. This promotes a good attitude, even when the team is lifting with the team they re currently playing, a situation not uncommon during the season.<br><br>Alejo emphasizes the importance of experience if you want to succeed at coaching a pro team. He says first and foremost a coach must have been exposed to various sources of training. In his opinion, the best background to come from is college coaching. Second, he feels you must e proficient in sports medicine.  You don t need to know everything a physical therapist or doctor knows, but you better be fluent in your ability to talk with them, says Alejo.  You need to be privy to enough information that you can deal with these health professionals on a one-on-one basis, because injury prevention and recoveryis in the down position, the spotter should press down with one hand on the lower back and hook the other arm around the lifter's shoulder and chest . The crook of the elbow should be secured against the lifter's shoulder while the fist or hand is placed firmly in the middle of the chest. The spotter and lifter should coordinate the lift together. The spotter could say  one-two-up . As the lift is begun, the spotter should pull up and back while pushing in on the lifters lower back. The spotter should pull backward as the lifter comes up to get the weight back on the lifter's heels. When the weight is shifted back toward the heels and power line, the dead lift can normally be completed in safety. Just like when doing the dead lift with the Hex Bar, the lifter should maintain good form by keeping the lower back locked-in, the chest spread and the head up. <br>A spotter should always be used when doing dead lifts with an Olympic bar except during power-lifting contests or for school records. BFS standards for dead lifts with Olympic bars are the same as with the Hex Bar. It should be noted that a spotter usually helps 50 to 75 pounds. <br><br>OTHER LIFTS:<br><br>The Hex Bar can also be used for a variety of other lifts. Some common lifts that might be performed are shoulder shrugs, upright rows, straight-leg dead lifts, etc. <br><br><br>FOR MORE INFORMATION:<br><br>The BFS Dead Lift and Trap Bar Video provides excellent instruction and visual aid on how to perform the dead lift. The dead lift is also featured in the BFS Total Program Video. See t
