Isn t shoulder strength important in jerking weghts overhead?<br><br>Schnorf: During the time I worked with Curt and Stewart we never did any pressing. Stewart could never bench press 200 pounds, and Amy Miller has jerked 237 pounds overhead but can t do a military press with 75 pounds. Am has one of the best jerks I ve seen, male or female, and certainly the best jerk of anyone I ve coached. I am of the belief that the jerk is a speed and technique lift, so with my athletes I emphasize speed, speed and more speed.<br>BFS: What effect does the starting age have on speed and starting strength?<br><br>Schnorf: The sooner you can establish the proper motor patterns in lifting the better. The toughest athletes to teach are the kids who are maybe 16 to 18 and have done a lot of bodybuilding exercises it gets very frustrating for them. I think that especially for a kid who s pretty bright and has an appropriate attention span, the younger you can get them started the better.<br><br>BFS: You were one of the first coaches to train athletes twice a day. Did yo encounter criticism from other weightlifting coaches for training that frequently?<br><br>Schnorf: Certainly. The accepted practice was generally to train every other day, so the idea that an athlete could train six days a week or twice a day some days was just not looked upon as being appropriate at that time.<br><br>BFS: Are there any problems related to the age at which an athlete begins lifting twice a day? <br><br>Schnorf: An athlete who starts such frequent training younger has a big advantage over an athlete who begins aarities to the skills needed for vaulting and asked her to show his vaulters some gymnastics moves.<br>The vaulters watched Val; and she watched them. The next thing she knew she was in a meet, and won. She was hooked.<br>Strength Coach David Jolly took over from there. The first year he had to make some serious adaptations to training, teaching her the basic technical aspects of the sport. During the summer she orked on muscular endurance, doing a lot of bicycling in the Great Smoky Mountains. A stress fracture set them back a bit, but soon a program of the Bench, ilitary Presses, Squats, Push-Ups and handstand Push-Ups began to give Val the speed and strength she needed for the running. Tumbling and walkin on her hands provided the kinesthetic awareness she needed for the plant.<br>Va Submit a Magazine Story
