You can do the straight-leg dead lift with a straight back, but I feel you can also stretch the lower back with our technique and get a better hamstring stretch because you can go deeper with a rounded back. Criticism comes from the perceived danger, but that too is an unwarranted criticism because we are lifting with such a light weight. Look, it s like bending down and touching your toes, but you just have a little bit of weight in your hands to help you get a deeper stretch. It s not that big a deal.<br><br>An advanced technique<br><br>When you have brought the bar down as far as possible, pause and breathe out. As you do this, you may be able to stretch another inch or so before coming up. Remember, the more you improve your hamstring flexibility, the faster you should be able to sprint and the higher you should be able to jump. <br><br>A Powerlifting <br>SLDL Approach:<br><br>When I was lifting in powerlifting competition, I would do sets of five reps with 505 pounds. I found out about the pressure on the back of the knees and learned to bend them just slightly. My objective was to build a powerful lower back in order to withstand the tremendous stress of going for a big number on the dead lift in competition. I noticed that others who did not train for the dead lift in this manner would have a greater chance of having a sore back for a while. Figure Six shows a heavy straight-leg dead lift, which should be done with the knees slightly bent. <br><br>Another SLDL Athletic Approach:<br><br>The Romanian dead lift (Figure Seven) is a popular alternative as shown in Figure Six. Olympic lifters use this to aid their efforts in competition. Some strength coaches have adopted this lift effectively for their athletes. The knees are slightly bent and the lower back is straight. If your objective is to improve your clean or snatch, the Romanian dead lift is excellent and it also gives a good stretch to the hamstrings. However, it will not stretch the hamstrings like the BFS Straight-Leg Dead Lift. Nothing does.hips. Her only setback in her remarkable career was getting the flu during the Olympic Trials and finishing sixth place in the semi-finals.<br><br>Smart Choices<br><br>Choosing a college was an important decision for Williams. She not only wanted to continue her drive to fulfill her athletic potential, she also wanted a school that would enable her to achieve her academic goals.  Angela has also been, and will continue to be until June 2002, a student-athlete, says Gregoire.  She is not a full-time athlete - I want to make that clear. <br>Ron Allice, USC Director of Track & Field, comments,  Academically, USC is one of the best educational institutions in the country - this year our freshman class averaged a 3.78 GPA and a 1370 SAT - people are beating the door down to get into school here.  Besides, no one has a richer tradition in track and field than USC, adds Allice, who took over the top position seven years ago and who served as an assistant coach at the World Championships this year.  We just missed winning the women s National Championships by three points the previous two years, and we won the men s PAC-10 title three out of the last four years. <br>Gregoire agrees that USC was an ideal choice for Williams, as it enabled her to m
