WEIGHT TRAINING FOR ATHLETES?

(Continued from page 42) partment; Measurement of Athletic Power, A. S. Barnes & Company, 1932; Test and Measurements in Health and Physical Education, Appleton-CenturyCrofts, 1939, 1942 and 1954. Dr. McCloy has published articles and books in Chinese, articles in French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish. He worked and studied in China from 1913 through 1926, where he was elected to the honor society Phi Tau Phi. Dr. McCloy served as an advisor to the army and navy throughout World War II, preparing training manuals and setting up testing and exercise programs. This has been only a very partial review of Dr. McCloy's accomplishments in physical education, but serves to indicate that weight training is gaining recognition at the highest levels.)

toes for calf spring, working one leg at a time with 15 repetitions on a four-inch board while holding a 35pound dumbell.

Miss MacDonald handles heavy weights in the supine press, doing about 10 repetitions with 100 pounds and usually working to 110 or 120 (cutting the repetitions while adding weight). Her best single press on bench is 150 pounds. For leg power she does three sets of 5-8 full squats with 165-170 pounds on her shoulders. Additional leg work comes from practicing high, vertical jumps from a full squat position, and kicks, leg curls and extensions with iron boots.

She also does side bends while holding a 30-pound dumbell, the alternate dumbell press (with all the speed possible) using 30-40 pounders for 12 reps with each arm, and the rowing exercise with 75-80 pounds for 10 repetitions. To finish her weight training routine she practices triceps extensions standing and leaning (with dumbells), a few curls, and abdominal exercises on an inclined board and on a bench.

Although most athletes are expected to be on the downgrade after the age of 30, Yas Kuzhara seems only to be reaching the performance his latent power makes possible. While he may never, with his comparatively late start, catch up with the Russian world champions, it seems reasonably certain that he will improve on his national marks before he is through.

STRONGMEN

(Continued from page 22) Championships to 334 in annexing the heavyweight crown at Mexico City.... Bill Billet of the York YMCA, a weight lifter athlete, not only retained his National YMCA wrestling crown, but was voted the outstanding grappler of the tournament at Wilkes-Barre. ... Famous Yarick Gym has shifted to a new location at 2114 McArthur Blvd. near Fruitvale & Diamond in Oakland. This set-up provides the needed larger space to accommodate the many top lifters and body builders working out there. . . . Victor De Lamarre, one of Canada's strongmen heroes, was removed by the grim reaper at the age of 66. Much controversy was waged by strength fans in the Province of Quebec, the cradle of Canada's strongmen, over some of the fabulous lifting claims of De Lamarre. ... An "Oscar" should be awarded to John Farbotnik for his excellent body building demonstration on TV's popular "You Asked For It" show. His impressive exhibition acquainted millions with some of the basic fundamentals of weight training exercise....
