Therefore, to be on line to break your set record, you think you should start at 320 pounds. You do 5 reps at 225 pounds and 3 reps at 275 pounds for warm-ups. You are not feeling all that great. For some reason the bar feels heavy today, but you suck-up and go for the 320 pounds. You make it, but it is a little shaky. However, you say to yourself, that if you can get the next set at 330 pounds, you can most likely reach your goal and break your 3X3 Set Record. <br>You get yourself psyched and visualize beating the bar. You also visualize your technique. With a roar, you get the first rep. The second rep is a gut buster, but you have got to try for that third rep. It doesn t go. Now you have to go to the penalty table. Shingle nails! You only get credit for 315 pounds. Bummer. <br> Okay, you say to yourself. How can I salvage this workout? The set record is out of reach but maybe I can break a rep record. You think the easiest one to break is the 8-rep record. You put on 270 pounds. The first reps go easy. You get six, then seven and now eight reps. A record! It s real heavy now but if you could just squeeze out another two you could get another record. You just barely get nine reps but that s not good enough because you do not get credit for it. You know that you have to get one more. Just one more. You give it all you have but you only get it halfway. Exhausted, you set the bar down and record what you have just done. <br> You totaled 885 pounds on your 3X3 Set Record. You record 270 pounds on your new 8-rep record. After a moment, you realize that you gave everything you had and even though you were down a little bit, you still broke, at least, one record. You vow to do better next time.<br> What happens if you are down a little bit on a periodization program? You fail completely. Pure and simple. The BFS System is the only program where you can be down and still break personal records. This is one reason we get massive voluntary participation. This is our underlying goal at the high school and non-scholarship college levels. Until our next issue, may you break personal records every day. ce, there are many athletes that Lloyd says merit individual recognition. One is senior Andre Mears. A member of the varsity football and basketball teams, Mears is ranked in the top 15th percentile of his class academically.  Andre epitomizes what an Eleven should be, says Lloyd.  He s a leader in the weight room, and he is always willing to help teach and motivate new athletes in the program. He s also a hard worker, and this year improved his 40 time by 2/10ths, and added 65 pounds to his Hex bar max and 95 pounds to his parallel squat. <br>Another standout is Justin Ritter, a junior who increased his bench press 60 pounds this past year to break an APAWPA world 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, parallel squat, NFL shuttle, 40-yard sprint, and the Smyrna shuttle [a 300-yard shuttle, broken down into 3-yard sprints]. The athletes received points for the weights lifted and fastest running times. This year the best performance was by Thomas Wright, followed by Justin Ritter and Andre Mears. <br>Although Smyrna had no state championship teams this year, Lloyd says he is expecting great things from the athletes who will be on the BFS program throughout their entire high school terms. Indeed, the Smyrna Eagles have already transformed themselves into state-ca
