Eyes On Target<br>President s Note: In past issues, I introduced the Six Absolutes, which illustrated how coaching techniques in the weight room can be easy and amazingly effective in teaching and learning perfect technique. All coaches and athletes should use the Six Absolutes when coaching or spotting. You can also use these Six Absolutes when coaching any sport.-a-thousand will still have trouble after all this technique effort.&nbsp; </P> <P align=left>A quick method to fix backs can be done with a dowel or bar as shown by Luther in Figures 6 &amp; 7.&nbsp; This quick method can also be done without a bar by placing "hands on knees" with the elbows locked.&nbsp; Begin by putting pressure on the knees either with the bar, dowel or athlete's hands.&nbsp; Now, "spread the chest" and hopefully everyone will look like Luther in Figure 7.&nbsp; If not, then those athletes will need to use the box/bench technique as previously described.</P> <P align=left>Every athlete's back should look like Luther's back in Figure 8 when lifting, blocking, tackling, rebounding or doing any power movement in sports.&nbsp; Figure 9 illutrates the Straight Leg Dead Lift which is&nbsp;a top priority auxiliary exercise in the BFS program.&nbsp; This exercise wil strengthen the lower back.&nbsp; Detailed information on this exercise can be found in the Hamstring Safety article.</P> <P alin=left>At anytime during any lift if the lower back comes out of its tight locked-in position, an injury is more likely.&nbsp; Badposition on the rack phase of the Power Clean can cause lower back problems.&nbsp; I have seen many athlete rack the bar as shown in Figure 10.&nbsp; Compare that position with the correct rack position of figure 11 where the elbows are up and forward with the bar resting on the shoulders.&nbsp; Now the athlete can get his hips back with the lower back safely in.</P> <P align=left>Seting a bar down incorrectly happens literally thousands of times a day.&nbsp; Look at Figure 12.&nbsp; New BFS Clinician, Jeff Kirkman, shows his disapproval.&nbsp; This athlete is asking for trouble.&nbsp; He has his head down and hips up with no bend in the knees.&nbsp; Just use the same technique as picking up a weight.&nbsp; Put it down the same way.&nbsp; Spread the chest and "squa" it down.</P> <P align=left>Pictures will be added at a laer date.</P>alf in what would be a classic playoff game.&nbsp; At half-time, our captain, Daryn Plummer came over to me to ask if he could speak to the team.&nbsp; I agreed and Daryn spoke to the team about our theme of "Team First" in 96 and about what it had taken for us to get this far.&nbsp; He reminded the players about the off-season and summer BFS program as well as our week in the Poconos.&nbsp; There was no real discussion of X's and O's.&nbsp; We went ahead 13-7 food here on the mainland.&nbsp; Chris is trying to eat a lot of salads now to keep his weight down.&nbsp; "But it is real hard," admitted Chris.&nbsp; You should have seen Chris' eyes light up when I told him about the new BFS nutrition plan explained in this journal.</P> <P>"Chris has always tried to keep himself clean as far as drugs and alcohol.&nbsp; "I have never had a drink in
