It's all about improvement but you must put together a total program. Last season's All-American Eddie Furniss was drafted 14th and then after an extensive program of strength building and losing body fat, he was drafted in the 4th round. Incidentally, Coach Schwanke has authored an excellent book called  BLAST: Hitting System Manual. To rder just call 1-504-761-1529. <br>Two players exemplify LSU Tiger baseball: Brad Cresse a 6-3, 220-pound catcher and Brandon Bowe a 6-3, 230-pound pitcher. Brandon, a transfer from Sacramento City Community College, had a 6-3 record last season for the Tigers. He weighed only 198 in junior college and threw between 83 and 84 miles per hour. Brandon beamed,  My Squat went from just doing the bar to 455 pounds and my Bench from 145 to doing 230 pounds for easy reps. Buted to work the abdominal and lower back muscles. <br>Remember how boring sit-ups are? One partner exercise especially popular at the Academy was partner sit-ups with a medicne ball. As shown above, the athletes lock their ankles together and toss the ball back and forth, performing a sit-up as they throw it. Because the ball is moving rapidly, when the athletes catch it the abdominals get a much tougher workout thanif the athletes simply held the ball on their chests.<br>One exercise that was especially tough was a series of push-ups with one or both hands resting on a medicine ball, as demonstrated on page 56. This exercise emphasizes many of the smaller muscles of the shoulder that stabilize the joint, and it s much tougher than it sounds. In fact, the Air Force Academy tried to incorporate these types of push-ups during a toughness training ritual called  Recognition Week that every cadet must endure. However, after the cadets had performed dozens of these push-ups, we received a call from the supervising officer to stop them because the cadets upper bodies were too exhausted to continue the remainder of their phsical tasks!<br<br>Power Training<br><br>What the medicine ball is especially good for is power development. Power an be defined as  work performed over time. Medicine balls take the strength developed from high-tension lifts such as the squat and teach the body and mind to use that strength faster. In ports, you have only a fraction of a second to return that tennis serve or to break that tackle. This is exactly why athletes who excel in the weight room often may be outlayed by physically weaker opponents who can apply a given level of strength more quickly.<br>For most athletes, especially beginning-level and most high school athlete, power cleans and push jerks can produce significant improvements in power. And with limied amounts of time available to most of these athletes, the basic BFS system is perfect. However, athletes who have extra tim
