A partner can be used for balance as shown. Squat down to a parallel position and  be tall and  spread the chest . Concentrate on locking-in the lower back. <br><br><br>Image 12 - Correct Squat Position: This athlete is in a great Parallel Squat position. The chest is spread as wide as possible. This is the key to keeping the lower back locked in tight. He is also sqautting tall. This keeps the back and shoulders from rounding. This athlete is in a strong and safe position.<br><br>Image 13 - Correct Hex Bar Position: The athlete is in a powerful and safe position as he demonstrates the Hex Bar Dead Lift. The head is up. The shoulders are back. The chest is spread and the hips are down. Always concentrate on locking-in the lower back when picking up a weight.<br><br>Image 14 - Dead Lifting Safely: The spotter places one hand on the small of the back and hooks the crook of his elbow in front of the lifter s shoulder. The spotter also places his fist on the lifter s sternum and pulls the lifter back on his heels to begin the lift. Never lift a heavy weight when the pressure of the weight is on the toes.

For example, Tom Hirtzs lifting had stagnated for seveal years until he came to Schmitz. Hirtz went on to eventually set an American record in the snatch of 342 pounds at 181 pounds bodyweight. Mark Cameron, already an accomplished lifter, moved to San Francisco to train with Schmitz for five months and soon afterwards clean and jerked 501.5 pounds while competing in the 242-pound bodyweight class. <br>One quality that sets
