Any little sore spot or knot, I just have them work it out and it keeps everything healthy.<br><br>BFS: Just about every article about you talks about your measurements, your bodyweight and what you eat. Don t you get a little tired of this?<br>Hamman: A little bit, but you have to put up with that with the media. They love big guys, and they love that big guys eat a lot. Another thing they like to do is compare me to things, like  His chest is as big around as a tree trunk, instead of just sticking to the facts.<br> <br>BFS: That being said, you re 5 9 and 370 pounds. How is your health?<br>Hamman: It s really good, and I get regular full physicals.<br><br>BFS: Do you know how many calories you do eat on average?<br>Hamman: I had my diet tested three days in a row by our sports nutritionist. I don t remember the exact results, but it sure wasn t anything like 10,000 calories a day!<br><br>BFS: Do you hae a special diet?<br>Hamman: For me, my diet is high protein/high sugar. The high sugar sounds ridiculous, but whenever I ve tried to get off sugar and chocolate, my lifts fall apart, so I have to keep my sugar up.<br><br>BFS: What does your sports nutritionist say about that?<br>Hamman: I don t tell her!<br><br>BFS: You talked about how you liked the drug testing in powerlifting. How tough is the drug testing in Olympic lifting?<br>Hamman: We have the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and I get drug tested randomly probably 18 times a year, and thenre in an adversarial role to begin with because you're trying to get these kids to do things they've never done before. But when you get through to them, it's all worth it. With this last group of girls it was a joy coaching them because they were there and they were working hard--sometimes, and in some aspects, even harder than the guys."<br>"The biggest thing I told them is that there is one word that you never use in a sport: Can't. I think I got through to a lot of them with that," says Neil, "especially during the early days with their weight training. When they were struggling, they never said,  I can't do it, Coach.' Instead, they said,  I'll try harder the next time.' I think that attitude in the weight room came across in the pool as well."<br><br>Making Waves with Muscles<br><br>The basic philosophy in swimming is to work very hard, then taper off for the meets. As such, it's often difficult to see results during the training season, and patience becomes a virtue much sought after. However, Mark says he noticed many positive changes during their training after they overcame their initial soreness. The swimmers were coming off the blocks more explosively. More importantly, they were riding higher on the water. "The higher you can ride on the water, the faster you can go because you're not pushing a lot of resistance--you're a tugboat
