I love the way the program is set up to let athletes see improvement every time they step into the weight room, said Coach Adams enthusiastically.<br>The BFS strategy used by Altoona requires athletes not prticipating in other sports to work out three times a week. However, most of the football players enjoy the workouts and are in the complex working four to five days a week, constantly striving to break their own records.<br> We have a lot of players who we need to watch carefully because they want to train every day. We are to the point now where we don t have to worry about getting kids to lift, but rather we have to make sure they don t overtrain. I guess that s not a bad thing to have happen, said Coach Adams.<br> Bigger Faster Stronger is great because the guys can see their own progress. Their competition with themselves is the real fuel to their fire. I have noticed constant improvement in the quality of work the guys are doing. Also, the time in the weight room allows for strong bonds to form between teammates. This dynamic team unity that begins in the weight room carries over to their on- and off-field relationships with each other. I like to think that a lot of our success is formed from the family environment that is initially created in the weight room, Riccio said.<br>This off-season the Mountain Lions are once again h&nbsp; It makes me feel cool that I now know what to look for.</P <P>The results:&nbsp; Another National Championship!</P> <P><BR><BR><BR>&nbsp;</P>@?ZR- Aˉ.R@ׯ@rGp+->ZDWS$h`2Mqa*GE9(Q O>I9O?(dĿs^ oa~=~|.jE 6AJktQS}٢ù[kICU7b)2iXW*z}S—W%,v\Ѵ]>V V9+=Xż[nֲw?z6J%g87z]N. $+XZ =}*[opZl@ ?0#T=H@\XsE<(%reas almost all Schmitz s athletes were from the San Francisco Bay Area 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 father 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 of 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 mos determination, and Mario Martinez [415 snatch, 513 clean and jerk and a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympicstrend in using a variety of onditioning methods, rather than emphasizing just one type of training such as po should also be great for athletes who are starters in a team sport like football. Adjustments and fine tuning is the "art" of coaching.&nbsp;</P> <P>The second half of Dr. Stone's presentation was centered on the results of research studies on periodization. This was quite frustrating. The studies were those which showed periodization was better than systems using 3 sets of 6 reps, 5 sets of 6, or one set to failure. Well of course it is. Anytime you vary your workout you are going to have better results than if you do the same thing day after day and week after week. I present this in a form of a question at BFS Clinics. Every time, every kid says that variation is better. I guess thatwas what was so frustrating. Why do research on something everyone knows? I want to see research done on different adjustment possiblities within periodization. Dr. Stone answered, "There is still a lot of people that don't know variation is best. That's why I presented those particular studies." The studies presented were fine and interesting but we in 1996 should be way beyond that. Dr. Stone concluded, "It's not the work that is importa
