As a junior at 148; his best lifts were a 465 squat, a 320 bench, and a 400 deadlift. As a senior at 165; his best lifts were 505, 335, and 430. Along with his strength, I have timed him at 4.2 in the pro agility drill consistently. His quickest time is 4.19. He can also consistently reach 32 in the vertical jump. When you combine his athletic ability with his work ethic and mental toughness, it is no wonder that he is a champion. He played short corner on our football team this past season, but I loved watching him fly down field on the kick-off team. With his speed and explosiveness, you can imagine some of the great collisions that happened out there. They were fun to watch. As you can see, having a power lifting team at our school has been a great success.<br><br>Our whole strength and conditioning program has progressed drastically since that 1985 BFS cliic. oRhave six classes with twenty-fvoR

Former national-caliber weightlifter Don Reed says that when his training colleague Tommy Suggs attended the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Suggs saw that the Russian coaches had a unique way of assessing the competition.  "When a Russian coach would greet a lifter from another country, he would always put his free hand on the lifter's back and quickly touch the athlete's spinal erectors and traps, checking muscle density and tone."  Indeed, Reed says that the most impressive aspect of an elite Russian lifter was the muscular
