That photo of the young man is while he was in high school. He was coached by Paul Dick, who competed in the Senior Nationals. Coach Dick had six athletes on his football team last year clean over 300 pounds, none of them seniors. If you go to our website, biggerfasterstronger.com, you can access (for free) the article I wrote about Paul Dick's program that appeared in our September/October 2007 issue.

Coach Dick will be sending a full team to the National Power Clean Championships next week. I'll be there covering the event for BFS, and have three girls from my team entered. For the last several years BFS was a sponsor of the National Power Clean Championships, and I did a feature on the event and have been promoting it through the magazine ever since.

Regarding your other comments. The term reverse hyperextension was defined, and the exercise demonstrated, by weightlifter Roger Quinn in the 1974 issue of "International Olympic Lifter" magazine. Said Quinn, "These reverse hyperextensions...seem to work the buttock muscles in the same fashion that the two-hand curl works the biceps." However, there are two gymnastic books published before this article, one from East Germany an the other from Hungary, in which the exercise is shown being performed with resistance (one variation with a medicine ball and another with a kettlebell strapped to the ankles). Louie Simmons, as mentioned in my article, patented the first reverse hyper machine in 1993.

Thank you,
