I do a lot of forearm work, focusing on my flexor carpi radialis so I can keep my finger reflex time up. I recomend to any serious Sega players that they hit the weights. It works. Believe me. SC: Wow, I didn't know lifting helped that much with Sega. Since I play NID. 95 all the time when I'm in Maples, that's some big info. Now to 2 of my favorite people here at school, Pam Chlad and Cubbie Dahl, the head athletic trainers. Cubbie, Pam, what d') you think about lifting? CD: Weight training has been a big help for me, especially ktely. The 2 big things that lifting has made a difference with are my ability to throw people's stuff out into the hallway if it's on the floor or tables and also my ability to throw people out of the training room. My added muscle tone has given me the con-fidence to stand up to training room culprits, and I'm really glad I started to step up my workouts. PC: First of all, Scott, the proper term you should be using is resis-tance training. And what resis-tance trainining does is cause hy-pertrophying of anaerobic muscle fibers in the active tissues being trained. And ..... . SC: Thank you, Pam. Thanks, but we don't really have the time for an in depth analysis. This is only an 8 page paper. Brian Suth, you're in the weight room pretty often. What can you tell us? BS: Are you making fun of me? Huh, I work really hard. Why you making fun of me? I'm gonna stab you with a knife if you don't leave me alone. SC: Good enough there, Suth. How about some other atheletes? Let's go to a real high flyer, 2 guard Chris Cervellero. CC: Weights .... SC: Wam, Flam, Bam. We know what weights can do. And now to a real PTPer, point guard Bernie Rogers. BR: Weights help me ..... SC: Of course they help you. They help you shoot the rock. And now diaper dandy Joe Bond. JB: They .... SC: You better believe they make you a better player. And now to the human eraser Jim Zurad: JZ: They feel light, and they look good on my feet. SC: He's 6'7". He can talk as long as he wants. Even if the quote has nothing to do with what we're talk-ing about. I used to play basketball, and I know without weights, there would be no way I could dunk with the authority that I do now. How about head basketball coach George White? Coach, how does the weight room fit into the team's routine? GW: Well, weights have given me the confidence to be the great moti-vator that I am. My greater bulk has given me that extra intimidation factor to bully my players into giv-ing me and themselves the very best that they have. I have my guys lift for 15 minutes the day before every game. I know that's a really good policy. I also got "Team, can't be beat, won't be beat" out of Muscle and Fitness. SC: How about a women's basket-ball player? Laura Coulter? LC: Lifting makes me a better player. Plus it makes me cool. Derrrr. SC: Sure, Laura. What was I think-ing? Ashok Parameswaren, you're generally considered the biggest and toughest kid in the school. What do weigh in at these days? AP: Scott, I'm tipping the scales at about a buck thirteen these days. The other day, I benched 405 and squatted 585. It was only an off day for me. SC: It's those kinds of numbers that are going to get you into body build-ing, Ashok. They're also the same numbers we hear from baseball's starting center fielder Dan Tomlinson. DT: Yeah, 405 on the bench and a 585 squat are about an average day for me. I need the weight room. I live in the weight room. I am the weight room. We are as one. ROm RAGE!!!! AmnnrnH! SC: Hey, get some help in here. DanTom's muscles are coming through his skin. I'm sure he'll be okay. Let me now go to APEs Doug Hovey. Hovey,you'reintheweipl room. You're on the lacrosse fidd. How do weights help you? DB: Well, you know Scott, thebig thing for me is lifting helps get my voice as loud as possible so when I yell when someone drops a plate in Wismer, everyone can hear me. SC: I don't think you have any problem with thal Hovey. I'lljult make sure it's not me that drops any plates. Up next a representame from residence life. You reaDy wouldn't think RLO would hawl need from weights, but let's'" what their rep has to say. RLO: Well, weight training help us in our major overall goal: To make as many people's 1iveI. miserableaswepossibIycan. 'I1IIIl'1 really what we do. Whether 1'1 dealing with people that get wriIII up, or room problems, or pictiII , clowns for RAs, or screwiD8 .-returning RAs, the weight .. has given us the beef and bulk" need to accomplish what we Deed) do. You wouldn't think . would have that big an impact. ask around, I think our goalis well accomlished. SC: Okay, after that, I think_ have heard enough. I'd liD thank everyone here today for swering my questions. and I everyoncwiII get in theweigbt and reap its great benefits. m you in the weight room.
