Bigger and stronger
Weightlifting program
builds Oregon athletics
By Mark Evans
Oftt—Emftkf
Like the ever popular big-guy-kicking-sand
on-weakling beach scene, the football bullies of
the Pacific 10 Conference were simply bigger and
stronger than the Oregon Ducks when Rich
Brooks took over the head coaching position in
1977
Now five years after Brooks established a
year-round strength training program, the Oregon
coach thinks his club can match up with anyone
around — bicep to bicep
We've been at least stronger the last three
or four years and thus better able to perform on
an equal basis with say a USC," he says
Currently all the Pac-10 schools have such a
program, but Oregon was the first to hire a
full-time weight coach and to open it up to the
other sports
Vern Alters, an expert in the area of strength
and conditioning sets up and supervises the
weight training program for all 500 varsity athletes
at Oregon
“I give them strength." Allers says simply
Then it is up to each coach to see that it is used
properly ."
The facility, located at the east end of Autzen
Stadium, is one of the finest on the West Coast
It's equipped with nine Nautilus weight training
machines, eight lifting bars, more than 3,500
pounds of free weights and other strength appar
atus
Not surprisingly, football players pump more
iron than any other athletes The major emphasis
in the ball players' training is free weight lifting.
with the Nautilus equipment used only as a sup
plement An athlete must use his muscles in
weight or multiple joint lifting, Alters explains
How successful has the strength training
program been? One benefit is the decline of
injuries especially in the neck and shoulder areas
Another indicator is the weight records — the
bench press, power cleans and squats — that are
kept for each position Alters pointed out that
these continue to topple every year "This year s
team broke about 33, says Allers "One wonders
how far the human body can be pushed ”
Brooks emphasizes the confidence gained
through weight training "When a player goes out
and plays, it's hard to judge his improvement, but
in the weight room he can gauge his efforts."
Brooks says "This instills confidence in him,
which we hope carries over to the field "
Brooks says examples of the impact the
program has had include this year s most im
proved player. Steve Johnson ("He came in at 210
lbs is now 240"). Steve Baack ( bench pressed
about 200 his first year here now benches about
380 lbs ”) and Steve Brown ("could bench only
around 175 and couldn't tackle that well, now he's
benching close to 300 lbs ").
Allers develops programs that are specific to
each athlete's sport and also position in that
sport Of particular importance with this in
dividualized help is its value to the track team
where there is such a wide variety of skills
required with the various events
"Though more emphasis for weight work is put
on the field event athletes, it has helped the
runners too, as witnessed by Alberto's (Salazar)
success, " Allers says
Head track coach Bill Dellinger says, It's hard
to gauge how the program has added to our
improvement, but naturally the stronger you are
the better off you are
