Their efforts should pay them great dividends in high school. Goals are set to improve strength (core lifts), power (vertical jump), speed (40 yard dash), and agility (Dot Drill).<br>The classes also have female students in attendance.  We have always had good female athletes who have taken pride in conditioning, says Coach Vena. Many of the females who hold weight training records are cheerleaders.  We have to educate these young people to overcome some of the negative myths that have been attached to weight training, says Vena.<br>The coaches and physical education teachers of Fayette County Schools were fortunate to have Jim Brown, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Poplar Bluff Senior High School in Missouri, present a BFS Clinic in February. Coach Brown worked with coaches and athletes from various schools in Fayette County on the BFS Program. Coach Vena will use Jim Brown s efforts to generate a greater desire within the athletes to improve physically and raise student involvement in the weight training program by challenging the athletes to break personal records and recognize their success.  We would like to evolve into model programs such as the ones at Poplar Bluff Junior and Senior High Schools, says Coach Vena. <br>Closer to home, Rising Starr Middle School and Starr s Mill High School provide excellent examples of model programs. The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipment and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents moved all the strength and conditioning euipment six times before housing a permanent location for their program. This desire to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<br>Whitewater s facility transformed from classrooms to bare walls to the achievement of a dream through hard work and determination. Whtewater Middle School has demonstrated that with the proper amount of effort and perseverance, Upper Limit success can be accomplished.<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br> Students who consistently participate in the weight training program have made physical improvements. Students need the opportunity to workout in the weight room on a regular basis.  Coach Vena by 2/10ths, and added 65 pounds to his Hex bar max and 95 pounds to his paralll squat. <br>Another standout is Justin Ritter, a junior who increased his bench press 60 pounds this past year to break an APAWPA orld record for his age group (255 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight). Another junior, Thomas Wright, increased his power clean by 60 pounds and his squat by 75 pounds last year.  After a discussion with clinician Bobby Poss, I began holding a fitness competition in May that tests athletes on the bench press, paralle squat, NFL shuttle, 40-yard sprint, and the Smyrna shuttle [a 300-yard shuttle, broken down into 30-yard sprints]. The athletes received points for the weights lifted and fastest running times. This year theod pyramid of 60% carbohydrates, your body would have to contend metabolically with two cups of sugar per day. in a championship game. He s a dedicated player who worked hard during the off-season and showed up in the weight room every day, even during vacations, stated Coach Poss.<br><br><br><br><br><br>" <br>I have known Coach Bobby Poss for almost 20 years. We featured his first (1984) State Championship on the cover of our BFS Journal. I have been so impressed with Coach Poss not only as a coach but as an outstanding person and family man that I wanted him to be a BFS clinician. This last summer Coach Poss was our guest at our BFS Clinicians Convention. Coach Poss will be doi
