For the first 45 minutes of the hour devoted to weight training, the core movements are the same for all players. These lifts include the bench press, incline bench press and military press for the upper body; and the clean, snatch, squat, step-up and lunges for the lower body. Also, deadlifts are performed for eight weeks in the winter and ten weeks in the summer.<br>What did the Terps do differently this year in training?  The biggest thing we did this year was challenge them to a degree that we weren t sure they would be able to accomplish, says Galt.  Some of the workouts, some of the intensity---we weren t sure that they would physically be able to accomplish without overtraining. But they stayed with the program, and by the time the season rolled around in August, they were the strongest, heaviest, fastest team we d ever had. <br>When asked what advice he would give to high school players who hope to someday play for Maryland, Galt replied,  One of the biggest problems with high school athletes is time constraints, because many athletes are multi-sport. What we recommend is that the high school athlete try to figure out a way to become more consistent in the weight room, even if it s only 45 minutes, twice a week. We have many kids from well-established high school programs who come here, and when they come here they just explode---and that s because we train year-round. That s why it s always nice to have athletes from high schools who were on the BFS program---they have a good foundation. <br>One player whose potential exploded under Galt s strength training program was junior defensive end Durrand Roundtree.  Durrand is a very special athlete---he s the strongest player we ve ever had, both technically and realistically. He weighed 230 when he got here and he s 265 now at 6 3 . In the weight room, Roundtree increased his bench from 325 to 490, his power clean from 280 to 355 and his squat from 490 to 760, including a workout in which he made 515 for 21 reps. As for speed, his forty improved from 5.00 to 4.68 (electronically timed), and his vertical jump (no step) increased eight inches from 28.5 to 36.5 .<br>Galt says that it s easy to recruit at Maryland  because we tell them the truth. Our goal is the maximization of individual athleticism. When a player leaves here, we want them to feel that they did everything they could <br>to be the best player they <br>could be. sports, period. And if you tell athletes never to lift weights overhead as in a push press or jerk, then you should not allow them to throw footballs or baseballs either.<br>Siff also emphasizes that the danger of weightlifting prematurely closing the growth plates of young girls is exaggerated, since running and jumping can impose even greater loads on the bones and joints. If we were to take this myth seriously, then we would have to restrict all girls and boys to walking and swimming!<br>Another factor not considered by the slow-training proponents is that Olympic lifting can help prevent injuries by properly developing the nervous system. Siff says these same people make the mistake of concentrating on how much weight is being lifted. "The most important thing in regard to injury-proofing the athlete is proper development of the central nervous and motor control systems. From my research and experience, I have found that accidents and injuries often have a lot to do with motor control, technique and skill, and not so much with weak tissues."<br>Siff adds that an understanding of the importance of the central nervous system explains why boxers can take so many hits, hits that would generally knock out even a well-muscled individual.
