Davis High School in Yakima Washington

Davis High Schoo Just before school let out. Coach Shepard did a special clinic in Yakima, Washington at A.C. Davis High School. Assistant football coach and strength coach, Frank Steele, organized the clinic.

1. Cal Davis demonstrates the BFS Dot Drill. He is the 198 lb. State Powerlifting Champion, 1400 lb. total - 600 Ib. Squat a physical fitness symposium which was an outstanding event for the entire school.

Coach Steele has engineered one of the most outstanding higb school strength programs nationwide. His athletes do some amazing feats of strength. Most noteworthy of Coach Steele’s style are his positive motivational ideas. He could write a book on the subject. Coach Steele felt for his clinic that we should really stress the Power Clean and the technique of this most important lift. We had 12 stations. Most of the stations were equipped with training plates or lighter Bumper Plates. The athletes were great. Coach Steele took a lot of photos. | will now make comments just like I did at the clinic.

Keep in mind that many of these athletes are young and are not perfect in their technique: they only want to get that way.

2. Everyone experienced the Dot Drill. Shown is All-League player Eric Boukather. Roger Metsker is coaching his teammate.

PHOTO #5: Stance, knees, chin.head and back are good.

Scott needs to rotate his wrists forward to keep the bar closer to his body. His arms need to be straight to utilize his leg and hip power.

3.Next, we reviewed the BFS 1-2-3-4 Flexibility 5. The Davis Pirate Students split up into 12 Clean Program. Coach Shepard is working on Glutestations. Scott Beaudry is shown. What is good?

Lower Back Stretch.

4. Coach Shepard stressing the importance of keep- 6. Tim Logan, a Pirate Freshman, racking his ing your chin up at all times during the Clean.

Clean. Again, What’s good about his technique? What could be improved? fakima, Wash. PHOTO #6: Head, eyes, wrists, fingers, bar position on shoulders, elbows, lower back, stance and hips are all very good. Tim’s knees need to be directly over his toes. His left knee seems to be pinched in a little.

PHOTO #7: J like Fonzie’s chin, head, arm and body position. However, the bar is away from his body: rotate the wrists 9. Shown is five stations. What about the athlete on the lower right? ...the Left? over the bar slightly. PHOTO #8: Head, eyes, lower back, stance, grip, wrists and arms are all very good.

He’s ready to go!

PHOTO #9: Lower right athlete has his chin a Jittle Jow. Athlete on Jeft looks good. PHOTO #10: It is hard to tell everything accurately but Roger is jumping. That’s the most critical phase of the clean.

The bar is too far from his body: Again, rotate the wrists over the bar. Roger's chin definitely needs to be higher. His eyes should be up not down. PHOTO #11: [ like everything about Eric’s rack! PHOTO #12: Head. eyes and stance good. Elbows need to whip through high. Bar needs to be on his fingertips and resting on his shoulders. The hips should be back with the lower back locked-in.
