When Serge Reding stayed with our family, he shared an enormous amount of material with me, recalls Siff.  He stressed that  core exercises (such as the squat and power clean) were of little value if even oneminor muscle group is weak and lets you down in competition. <br> <br> From Pommel Horse <br>to Car Seat<br><br>Although the glute-ham raise had been used by European athletes since the turn of the century, American athletes were introduced to it in 1971 through Strength and Health magazine. 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 tha 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 attribute all his lifting success to one exercise, it should be noted that in 1974 after Charniga began performing the exercise, he sntched 352 pounds, only 5 pounds off the American record in his bodyweight division.<br>In 1979 Charniga visitedRussia 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 before the workout with light weights as a warm-up, and again at the end of the workout ith heavy weights as a strengthening exercise. This sensible practice was also followed in the U.S. In fact, five-time natonal 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 the graduating senior is now awaiting his appointment at West Point, along with fellow teammate, Kyle Johnston.<br> The banner was pure inspiration, says Davis.  We were in the end zone ready to start the game when it flew overhead. What a moment for the team! <br>The plane and banner showed up again for the next game, just in time to turn the score in the Gladiators favor, and again for the first game of the playoffs, which unfortunately, the Gladiators didn t win. Against their nemesis Forestville, thee the 10 lb bumper is about 2 inches thick and made of a softer urethane that gives. This allows for the plates to be dropped as opposed to being set back down. Kids especially love the bright colored 10-pound Bumper plate and the Aluma-lite bar. It looks like 135 pounds but really only weighs 35 pounds. <br><br>TEACH CORRECT TECHNIQUE<br es  Adobed              "   s!1AQa"q2B#R3b$r%C4Scs5D'6Tdt& EFVU(eufv7GWgw8HXhx)9IYiy*:JZjzm!1AQa"q2#BRbr3$4CS%cs5DT &6E'dtU7()󄔤euFVfvGWgw8HXhx9IYiy*:JZjz$s7{Kw7(@ZKw7 YLKw7p_Kw7Kw7RKw7вKw7Kw71Kw7Kw7!Kw7PKw7hKw7XKw7wHKw7Hc=Kw7WKw7Kw70pHKw7c=Kw7P@YKw78Kw7pHKw7PZ=Kw7(AYKw7Kw7xHKw7'Z=Kw7BYKw7Kw7pqHKw7Z=Kw7BYKw7xKw7PxHKw
