Then try Figure 6 s stance. Then on the next rep try Figure 7 s stance. Use as many  steps as necessary to get the athlete in the correct position. <br>Figure 8 & 9 personifies the goal of executing a Parallel Squat from an athletic stance in an upright position with perfect balance. Bottom Line: Once you experience the kinesthetic feel of the balance that is required, you can perform a decent Parallel Squat.

The magazine showed pictures of Russian weightlifters performing the lift on a pommel horse in front of wooden stall bars.<br>American weightlifter Bud Charniga saw the article and decided to include the new exercise in his exercise arsenal.  What I did was take a padded car seat and nail it to a carpenter s bench. I then placed it in front of my power rack and hooked my ankles underneath my barbell so that I wouldn t tip over. <br>Because the car seat Charniga used was padded and had a much sharper curve than the pommel horses the Russians were using, he noticed something unusual.  I noticed that when I did the exercise, the curved surface of the car seat helped me flex my knees more so that I could get a greater range of motion. Although you can t directly atribute all his lifting success to one exercise, it should be noted that in 1974 after Charniga began performing the exercise, he snatched 352 pounds, only 5 pounds off the Amrican record in his bodyweight division.<br>In 1979 Charniga visited Russia and found that every gym he looked in had a glute-ham station, and that the exercise was an integral part of the training of Russian weightlifters. He saw that weightlifters would often perform some variation of the exercise twice in a workout, once beore the workout with light weights as a warm-up, and again at the end of the workout with heavy weights as a strengthening exercise. This sensible practice was also followed in the U.S. In fact, five-time national weightlifting champion Ken Clark, whose picture appears in the BFS Total Program Book, began every workout with several sets of back extension exercises. In 1983, at a body weight of 220 pounds, Clark clean and jerked 470 pounds, an American record that has yet to be equaled.<br>While in Russia, Charniga noticed that not much had changed in regard to how the exercise was performed since that first Strength and Health article, with the exception that some gyms had positioned straps to secure thefeet.  They simply didn t have access to materials, or the budget, to have someone make a sophisticated glute-ham developer for them. When Charniga returned to the U.S. and told others of his findings and his success with the exercise himself, resourceful equipment manufacturers began experimenting with designs for a glute-ham developer. The BFS glute-ham developer, with its adjustable foot plate and rounded pelvic support represents the latest in the evolution of this apparatus.<br>The glute-ham exercise is a must for every serious strength training program. When I was hired as a strength coach for the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1987, my first day on the job I ordered two BFS glute-ham developers. Because we had to work with near
