If you like Las Vegas and you love power cleans, then this spring, you need to head to the Entertainment Capital of the World. That’s when the best high school athletes compete in the WK$QQXDO 1DWLRQDO+LJK6FKRRO3RZHU&OHDQ &KDPSLRQVKLSV The quality of competitors grows every year, and last year was no exception as participants broke national records in four weight divisions: three men’s records and one women’s record. The highlight of that 2013 meet was Jordan Price, who lifted 295 pounds in the 136.5-pound bodyweight division. This performance, pound-for-pound, is considered the best ever in the history of the event.
For more information on this meet, contact meet director Bill Froman at whfroman@interact.ccsd.net. 0DJJLH0DUWLQ3KRWR Last Thanksgiving Michael Cardinal popped the question to Team BFS athlete Lindsey Spencer. The big day is set for July 22, 2014. Mike is the brother of Sarah Cardinal, who in 2004 became the first woman to receive the BFS High School Athlete of the Year award. Mike is currently a thrower on the Utah State Track Team; later this year he will complete his bachelor’s degree in nutrition and move to Rhode Island, where Lindsey currently lives. After graduation Mike plans to leave the throwing circle and become a full-time weightlifter.
Lindsey, a Utah State graduate, is currently a weightlifter training for the 2014 Senior Nationals. Mike was a former member of Team BFS, and in 2002 won his age and bodyweight division at the School Age National Championships. This meet could be considered a homecoming, as it will be held in Salt Lake City, July 17-20.

In this age of information overload it’s impossible to keep up with all the credible research in the field of strength and conditioning. Jay Hoffman, PhD, is the author of a book that can help: NSCA’s Guide to Program Design (Human Kinetics, 2012). Hoffman assembled a team of experts, specifically in the area of designing strength and conditioning programs, to contribute to this book, which, as Hoffman says, “…offers extensive reference lists of supporting research for all readers who wish to explore specific topics more deeply.” Among the 12 topics covered are Athlete Needs Analysis, Power Training, Anaerobic Conditioning, Speed Training, and Training Integration and Periodization.
Heavily referenced with photos, illustrations and tables, this compendium of training information is a must for any serious strength coach.
The D1 line of racks, platforms and benches from BFS continues to gain fans The D1 Line of weight room equipment from BFS is a commanding presence in any weight room. Built from 3 inch by 3 inch steel you can immediately tell this equipment is made for teams and athletes that are serious about succeeding. Built to last is an under statement for these tough racks. As impressive as the durability of these racks is, their versatility is perhaps what sets them apart from the competition and makes them so desirable for aspiring champions.
Chrome plated weight horns and bar catches ensure smooth operation for years of use. Built in vertical bar holders keep the stations working smoothly while multi-grip pull-up bars offer a mix of body weight options. The D1 line is well worth a look BFS Expands in many regions.
