Coach Johnston replied, "You have to do a lot better job selling your players on your program, they have got to believe in your program to do it properly.</P> <P>"Because of Free Agency and Collective Bargaining you see a lot of new players each year.&nbsp; In college you have the players four to five years.&nbsp; The age difference is also a factor.&nbsp; An 18-year old is not the same as a 25-year old.</P> <P>"I'm going to train multi-joint movement lifts and explosive lifts.&nbsp; Most of this type of training is done with free weights.&nbsp; Some people may question the safety factor of my philosophy, but to me there is a certain risk when you train to win and to be a thoroughbred.&nbsp; It's my job to teach the players perfect technique and to train smart. </P> <P>"I want to come across as someone who wants them to perform at their highest level.&nbsp; If a player sees that you always want what's best, they will respond.&nbsp; I try to serve the players and do the little things that make a difference.</P> <P>"We also do plyometrics.&nbsp; We have Plyo Boxes and Plyo Hurdles.&nbsp; We do a number of variations of ground plyos.&nbsp; We teach sprint techniques and have speed and speed endurance days.&nbsp; I really like over-speed training which is done especially in the off-season.&nbsp; We do some parachute training but I like over-speed training a little better.&nbsp; We have a number of devices for over-speed training; some very expensive and some very economical.</P> <P>"Another thing I like is sled work.&nbsp; Dragging the sled and doing sled lunges with a sled harness can be great.&nbsp; I don't look at sled work as speed tools but I use them to develop functional strength."</P> <P>The Packers incorporate martial arts training for flexibility, joint mobility and range of motion.&nbsp;&nbsp;They do this two to three times per week in the off-season.&nbsp; "We stretch our players for five minutes before practice," said Coach Johnston, "but before that we do a lot of functional warm-ups like high knees, waking lunges, butt kicks, etc.&nbsp; We also do the BFS&nbsp;Dot Drill on a regular basis in the off-season."</P> <P>The Packers do Power Pulls which is a Power Clean movement in addition to Dumbbell Cleans and Dumbbell Cleans and Presses.&nbsp; Overhead Squats are done with a snatch grip for balance, along with a ton of medicine ball work.</P> <P>At Green Bay, if you miss a scheduled workout, you are fined.&nbsp; "We haven't had anyone miss for two years," Coach Johnston recollected.&nbsp; "In that instance, Coach Holmgren really let that player have it at practice.&nbsp; Coach Holmgren is a super person to work for.&nbsp; If any player didn't commit to weights, Reggie and Brett would take care of them anyway." </P> <P>I marveled at the similarity between the Green Bay and BFS Strength and Conditioning programs.&nbsp; I shrugged, "Well Ken, we're either on the Green Bay&nbsp;program or you're on the BFS program."&nbsp; We both laughed.&nbsp; Coach Johnston remarked, "Bigger Faster Stronger has a great deal going for them, especially for the high school coach."</P> <P>Coach Johnston believes in Box Squats and Partial Benches.&nbsp; These two lifts form the backbone of the BFS program.&nbsp; They make everything hum along like a beautiful song.&nbsp; They create a huge advantage during the season especially at the high school level.&nbsp; They create a nice advantage during the off-season with speed and jump drills.&nbsp; They help the athlete avoid plateaus in all lifts but especially with the Parallel Squat and Bench Press.</P> <P>Since many wieght rooms do not have a Power Rack, we at BFS evolved to the Towel or Padded Bench Press instead of Partials.&nbsp; I learned the Box Squat&nbsp; and Partial Bench Press secret in Los Angeles in the late 1960's.&nbsp; Louis Simmons, now from Columbus, Ohio, learned the same secret from the same source.&nbsp; Hence, he calԪtƈmP;GVɯ>L %ɵhecM#9DxfZۥ
