If you do not go down to at least parallel, you will create an imbalance of strength ratio between the hamstrings and Quads. Squatting high makes for strong Quads and weak Hamstrings. This is asking for hamstring injuries. This is a top-priority BFS core lift. This multi-joint lift is the  King of all exercises.<br><br>OTHER GOOD EXERCISES<br><br> Front Squats (Picture 7): This variation of the Parallel Squat, when done correctly, can perhaps develop the Hamstrings even better than Parallel Squats. Normally, the lifter can maintain a slightly more upright position with a Front Squat, which means more Hamstring development. Proper technique requires the athlete to  be tall and to  spread the chest . Lock-in the lower back for safety. Front Squats are one of several top choices for a Squat Variation in the BFS Total Program. <br><br> Hex Bar Dead Lift (Picture 8): This exercise can build a solid foundation of strength which affects the Hamstrings, Quads, Hips and Lower Back. The Hex Bar exercise builds functional hamstring jumping strength. Therefore, a jump stance should be used. Keep the hips down and the head up. Spread the chest to lock-in the lower back. Do once or twice per week. This is a BFS Core Lift exercise. For back safety, lightly bounce the weight off the floor when doing reps. Keep the repetitions to five or less.a and were dues-paying members at Schmitz s gym. Proving the victory was not a fluke, the Sports Palace team went on to win seven more national titles.<br><br>A Legacy <br>of Strength<br><br>Asking Schmitz who his favorite lifters are is like asking a fathr which of his children he likes the best - he just can t do it. Schmitz was willing, however, to describe some of the best qualities of each o the following Olympians he has trained.  Ken Patera was the absolute strongest, Bruce Wilhelm [the first American to snatch 400 pounds] trained the hardest, Thanh Nguyen had the most natural talent, Ken Clark had the most determination, and Mario Martinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics] had the most success. <br>In addition to developing new talent, Schmitz was also able to rejuvenate the careers of many lifters who had suffered slumps. For example, Tom Hirtz s lifting had stagnated for several years until he came to Schmitz. Hirtz went on to eventually set an American record in the snatch of 342 pounds at 181 pounds bodyweight. Mark Cameron, already an accomplished lifter, moved to San Franciscoto train with Schmitz for five months and soon afterwards clean and jerked 501.5 pounds while competing in the 242-pound bodyweight class. <br>One quality that sets Schmitz apart is that he has been able to work especially well with super heavyweights, having coached three of the four Americans who have clean and jerked 500 pounds. In addition to coaching Patera, Wilhelm and Cameron, he also coached John Bergman (396 snatch, 496 clean and jer
