Training Brief -- Plyometrics and Speed Workouts -- The BFS Total Program

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:00:52 -0700

BFS is called the "Total Program" because it has balance. Although a 400-pound bench press is impressive, the time it would take an athlete to develop the strength for such an accomplishment would take away from developing other athletic qualities – qualities such as speed, agility, flexibility, jumping ability and muscular endurance.

Let’s look at what the research says, for example, about jumping ability. Many studies have been done that show that plyometrics combined with weight training produces superior results than weight training alone can produce. In a paper published in the Journal of Applied Sports Science Research in 1992, researchers conducted a six-week study on the effects of squatting and plyometrics on the vertical jump.

The group that performed just the squat increased their vertical jump by an average of 1.3 inches – pretty good. When plyometrics was combined with squatting, however, the increase was 4.2 inches! With such results, it’s obvious that box jumping should be a part of every athlete’s workout.

In our January / February 2010 Magazine we have a Fantastic Article on how to incoporate plyometrics into your weekly workout schedule. We know that as coaches and athletes maximizing your personal potential and winning is your goal. The BFS Total Program is built to achieve this by building athletes not solely weight lifters.

To this end BFS also offers quality equipment to make adding plyometrics safe and time and space efficient. Check out the BFS Varsity Plyo Box Set and the Plyo Ramp.

What's Happening -- Reading a Research paper -- Research Methods in Physical Activity

Fri, 5 Mar 2010 14:47:20 -0700

The Mere Mortals Guide to
Understanding Research

Reading a research paper can be intimidating, what with all the radar graphs, foot long mathematical equations and bizarre expressions such as "statistical significance." It’s almost as if the authors are daring you to understand what they are talking about.

If you don’t have a Ph.D. in physical science and want to learn an easy way to read and understand research that applies to the field of coaching and physical education, then your bookshelf needs a copy of Research Methods in Physical Activity by J. Thomas, J. Nelson, and S. Silverman (published by Human Kinetics, humankinetics.com).

However most all around athletes need to keep accelerating beyond the first few steps and maintain the speed achieved for longer distances. For these aspects of speed BFS has specific training equipment to keep you ahead of the competition.

Now in its fifth edition, this surprisingly readable textbook painlessly (and often with humor) guides the reader through the research process and shows how to interpret the results. Unquestionably, Research Methods in Physical Activity is a must-have book for anyone involved in physical and athletic fitness.

Spotlight Product -- Speed Training -- Speed Equipment: The BFS Push/Pull Sled

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:23:08 -0700

Speed Training: The BFS Push/Pull Sled

Speed, like most athletic attributes, begins with strength. Power cleans and full parallel squats are multi joint exercises that will boost an athlete's ability to explode from a standing start and get up to speed incredibly quickly.

In fact, Olympic weight lifters are often faster than pure sprinters for the first several steps because of their emphasis on deep squats and lifting large weights.

However most all around athletes need to keep accelerating beyond the first few steps and maintain the speed achieved for longer distances. For these aspects of speed BFS has specific training equipment to keep you ahead of the competition.

Among the most versatile of tools is the BFS Push Pull Sled. The plate loaded nature of this sled allows for a variety of weights to be used to train each phase of acceleration. The BFS Push Pull Sled also allows far a wide range of hand placements that give a full range of lean angles for the athlete to work through.

For a detailed overview of speed training equipment including electronic testing and measuring units we recommend reading
"The Next Step in Speed Training" article in the January/February Issue of BFS Magazine.

What's Happening -- Plate Loaded Gripper -- No Weak Links

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:08:03 -0700

NO WEAK LINKS!

They say a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and that being the case athletes should not neglect grip work. After all, what’s the use of having great upper body strength if your forearms are not strong enough to enable you to apply it? And although squeezing tennis balls is certainly a practical way to train your grip, this type of training can only do so much, as the resistance is constant.

For this reason, BFS developed the Plate Loaded Gripper

Built for Olympic-size plates, this heavy-duty yet portable unit allows you to precisely control the amount of resistance used. Designed to accommodate the range of motion of any size hands, the unit can be used with the hands supinated (palms down) or pronated (palms up), and performed with one or two hands at a time.

Featured Article -- BFS High School of the Year -- Aztec High School, Aztec New Mexico

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:05:24 -0700

2009 BFS High School of the Year
Aztec High School wins BFS's Prestigious Award
Published: November/December 2009

"We encourage our kids to play as many sports as they can, and if they are not playing a sport, we want them to continue lifting with the BFS program." Hirsch says that all their athletes lift in-season, with some coming in as early as five in the morning to train, and also in the summer. And it’s not just football players who lift in the summer. "We'll have cheerleaders, soccer players, basketball players…. Pretty much every sport is represented in the summer program."

Aztec High School first implemented the BFS program in 2003, primarily with the football team. That first year they were in the state championship game, and the football team’s success inspired other teams to get with the program. "Prior to 2003 we saw that our weight training program was not going in the direction we needed it to be at – athletes were coming in and doing their own thing. In 2002 one of our physical education instructors saw that the BFS program had the type of structure we needed and suggested we give it a try," says Hirsch.

The assistant superintendent, Kirk Carpenter, agreed, and with the help of the booster club got the funding to purchase some BFS equipment and educational materials. “Every year we’ve been upgrading the program.” Case in point: This summer the weightroom went completely BFS, replacing several old machines that got little use with more power racks, barbells, bumpers, and a special section devoted to auxiliary lifts. And the weightroom staff has increased: In addition to Hirsch, the primary weightroom coaches are Anna Straus and Mike Felicetti.

What's Happening -- Book Review -- Swimming Anatomy

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:54:17 -0700

How can you effectively coach swimming or design a resistance training program for it if you don’t know how the muscles work? If you have a copy of Swimming Anatomy (Human Kinetics, 2009), you won’t have to try to answer that question.

Written by Ian McLeod, a certified athletic trainer who was on the medical staff at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, this book shows how the muscles work during starts and turns during the freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke. It also includes 74 illustrated exercises for swimming that feature color highlights of the primary muscles used in their performance.

If you work with swimmers as a sports or strength coach, you definitely need a copy of Swimming Anatomy on your bookshelf.

Training Brief -- The History of the BFS Total Program for Athletes -- Why BFS is Still on Top After 33 Years

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:28:18 -0700

The History of the BFS Total Program for Athletes
By Dr. Greg Shepard, Founder/CEO BFS
Why BFS is Still on Top After 33 Years

You can’t argue with success. More than 9,000 high schools have implemented the Bigger Faster Stronger Program, and of these schools, nearly 500 have won state championships in football after having had BFS clinics. Many college teams and high-profile professional athletes are making dramatic improvements with BFS, and each year our clinicians schedule more than 400 seminars. And there’s more!

The popularity of the BFS Program has reached such a level that in one independent survey through the University of Minnesota, 40 percent of the high school football coaches polled said they use BFS as their primary source of strength and conditioning information, and over 250,000 students have gone through a BFS Clinic. What this means is that BFS is not one of those here-today-gone-tomorrow workouts but a popular and effective training method with a 33-year history of success.

What is not widely known is how the BFS Program developed from events that are a vital component of the achievements of BFS today. So, where did the program come from? As I think about the origins of today’s BFS, I can point to three primary sources: First, there’s George Frenn, who personifies the throwers in track and field in the late 1960s who achieved remarkable results on the field and in the weightroom. Second, there are the high school and college athletes I coached from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, the very first BFS athletes. Finally, there’s the late Stefan Fernholm, an elite discus thrower.

Stefan shared with me many remarkable training methods, especially in the area of proper technique, from the Eastern Bloc nations in the 1980s. All these athletes provided me with the practical experience to refine the BFS system so it could be easily taught and implemented in the US.

What's Happening -- Looking Ahead -- USAWeightlifting CEO Visits BFS

Mon, 8 Feb 2010 14:25:17 -0700

On October 20, USA Weightlifting CEO Rick Adams visited BFS headquarters in Salt Lake City to meet with BFS President Bob Rowbotham and BFS Editor in Chief Kim Goss.

The purpose was twofold. First, Mr. Adams wanted to learn more about our company and see how our two organizations can work together to help make the United States a world power once again in weightlifting. Adams believes that one key to success is getting the sport introduced at the high school and middle school levels.

During his visit Adams toured our production and distribution facilities, in addition to the editorial offices in Salt Lake City. Adams says he was impressed with what he saw and has included BFS as part of USA Weightlifting’s High Performance Plan.

Shown are several photos from his visit.

BFS National Certification
Jan. 16, 2010

On January 16th BFS hosted our inaugural National Certification at the home offices in Salt Lake City to great success. With coaches attending from eight states it was a truly national event. Time was split between classroom work in the BFS multimedia equipped conference room and the BFS weight room with 8 training stations in a variety of configurations to simulate many real life facilities.

Among the many things that sets BFS Certification apart is the emphasis on hands on training. Each of the BFS core lifts is explained and demonstrated in the classroom, then every coach is required to perform the lifts covered and spot the lifts covered. All BFS certified coaches have a physical grasp of correct, safe technique when they complete the day's practicum.

We had over 40 men and women participating in the full day of training. Such widespread participation underscores the growing importance having a certified staff handling weight room training. At every level from the student/athlete, to the coach, to the institution or school, having a certified staff offers a multitude of benefits. Certified Coaches implement correct technique leading to fewer injuries. Certified Coaches lead a more efficient weight room allowing for training more athletes in less time. Certified Coaches instill a level of confidence in the program from the parents and administrators. Certified Coaches understand the importance of safety and its implications with regard to liability for the school or institution.

And of course we believe Certified Coaches give their athletes the best chance to WIN!

Keep an eye on www.biggerfasterstronger.com/certification for dates on our next National Certification and for a running calendar of the many Regional Certifications around the country we have scheduled.

Spotlight Product -- BFS Can Help You to WIN! -- From Concept to Completion

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:10:10 -0700

BFS Can Help You Win – From Concept to Completion!
Many factors go into building a winning program and not many coaches have complete control over all of them. Perhaps you are a new coach who has inherited a loosing program. Perhaps you are a coach that is frustrated with existing weight room facilities. Almost every coach runs up against time constraints when trying to help athletes reach their full potential. At BFS we believe a coach in any situation can make great strides toward success by starting with a unified idea of what they want to achieve, a concept, and then taking each step in order to reach that goal - completion.
For over 30 years BFS has been providing middle schools, junior high schools and senior high schools with the tools they need for success. We are a full-service company that can offer any coach the Weight Room Certification, Weight Room Design, Weight Room Equipment and Weight Room Training Program to be successful training athletes in strength and conditioning for every sport.

Weight Room Design
The starting point for many programs is taking stock of the assets available for training athletes. At BFS we recommend starting with an honest evaluation of your current facilities and BFS can help with free, over the phone consultations. Taking into consideration efficiency and safety we will help coaches come to a decision on what they can implement in their unique situation. Our design professionals provide 2D Floor Plans so you can see exactly how your facility should be laid out to promote efficiency while staying in accordance with current safety guidelines and industry recommendations.
If desired we can provide full 3D Renderings so you’ll see your weight room exactly as it will appear in the finished stage. This is a great tool for presenting to administrators and boosters when the time comes to fund any improvements in your space or equipment.

Weight Room Equipment
If new equipment is in order BFS stocks a large inventory of more than 800 Quality Products from Power Racks to Adjustable Benches, in our 70,000-square-foot warehouse, we can offer you low prices and ship any stock item within 48 hours.

Our equipment is unique in that it is designed by educators for educators, and is backed by the best warranty in the business.
Don’t forget to consider professional installation of your equipment for larger projects, ask your BFS Rep for more information.

Weight Room Certification
Evaluating and installing or upgrading a weight room is the first step to completion. To ensure the highest levels of competence among coaches and physical educators we offer the BFS Weight Room Certification. We believe certification is a crucial step in unifying your training program and instills confidence in your coaching staff from the community and administrators. By participating in the live, hands on, practicum of the BFS Certification and taking the online exam coaches can demonstrate a commitment to their continuing education and to the safety of their athletes.
Almost all our instructors are certified teachers, and 95 percent are currently employed in high schools so we understand the challenges faced by coaches every day. Our certification is grounded in firm principles but our instructors can help coaches find the flexibility to make their unique situations safe, efficient and effective.
BFS Certification is an ongoing commitment from us to our certified coaches. We will provide coaches with the BFS Magazine, full of current training articles and inspirational stories to keep your program motivated.
Certified coaches can take advantage of the BFS Online Learning Center where we have training videos of proper weight lifting technique, articles and documents to keep your training up-to-date and program information to keep your athletes breaking personal records all year long!

Total Program Clinics - Strength and Conditioning
BFS is on hand to help coaches in the final step to completion of the concept: helping athletes reach their full potential and WIN. There are many ways to define winning, from character improvement to personal gains made in fitness - at BFS we believe success on the field is one of the most concrete signs of success in both in athletics and in character. So BFS offers regional and on-site Strength and Conditioning Clinics that teach the BFS Total Program. With the Total Program athletes will be breaking personal records weekly in the weight room, in conditioning, in flexibility all leading to the strength and confidence to win on the court or field.
