I just did this sport, exclaimed Lincoln,  and Tricia, you are going to love it. You re gonna freak. When Tricia saw Lincoln do Skeleton, she thought Lincoln must have had some serious brain damage. But, then she tried it. Her natural abilities and skills developed in other events helped her to become a quick learner.  By the third time, I was saying,  where do you sign up - I want to do this thing,  Tricia demanded. She was hooked.<br>The first item on Tricia s agenda was to attend driving school. No, this isn t where you learn to drive to get a car license but where you learn the elements of driving a skeleton sled. Tricia was a fast learner. After only five days in school, she placed 5th in a national race and qualified to be on the  B team.  I loved it, gushed Tricia.  It was a huge rush. I loved it more than skiing. <br>In February of 1999, Tricia placed 2nd in the nation.  Then, I m like  wow . I began to lift and sprint but I was still working full time. It was at that point the stunning news came to Tricia: Skeleton was going to be an Olympic sport. Now, she became really serious. In the year 2000, Tricia placed first in the U.S. Skeleton and was on the U.S. team. Tricia was on a roll as she participated in her first World Cup and earned a bronze medal.<br>Tricia began to think in higher terms.  I took a leave of absence from work, remembered Tricia. She never returned.  I felt I had a chance to achieve a medal in the 2002 Olympics. In May of 2000, I met Eric Snowden, a BFS Certified Coach and President of Pro-Elite Strength Systems. Eric asked a thought provoking questiour research shows that it is non-existent because of the light weight that is always used. Our BFS Clinicians have collectively trained perhaps as many as 20,000 student-athletes over the last ten years using our SLDL with zero problems. Our BFS SLDL is probably the safest lift we teach. The Hex Bar may be used on the SLDL to even further increase safety.<br> Those of you who have not tried our method, why not give it a shot with yourself and with some of your athletes? You should get some spectacular results. Thanks again to Coach Van De Zande for an 11-type inquiry. Good luck!<br><br><br><br><br>What about the Straight Leg Dead Lift Platform?<br><br>BFS suggests to begin doing Straight Leg Dead Lifts from the floor and then as athletes become more flexible, instead of increasing the weight, they can try it from a box or platform. This will allow athletes to get the maximum stretch possible which, according to Stefan, is the whole idea of this great auxiliary exercise that can be done quickly, in any weightroom with excellent results.<br><br><br>The BFS Straight Leg Dead
