Sports fans may tell you they're in it for the statistics. They might wax on about amazing feats of athleticism, team spirit, the triumph of the human body, mind over matter, or any other one of those tired sports clichés. And you know what? They're probably not lying. But one thing most sports fans sometimes have trouble admitting, is that as much as they're in it for the game, they're also in it for the drama. And when it comes to drama, there's nothing juicier than romance - and world class athletes date with the same panache and flare that they bring to their games and competitions.So let's take a look at some of the sports world's hottest couples - and maybe learn a thing or two.

Keep it Clean! Beautiful glowing skin says you’re conscientious and take pride in every area of your life. I use natural cleansers and moisturizers. I recently got a collapsible, reusable water bottle which makes it economical and easy to get in drinking eight glasses of water a day. *Describe your own ‘sure-thing’ beauty look at work: Sheer layers of foundation for perfect coverage. I have melasma and I hate for foundation and concealer to look caked on my face. I love airbrush make up systems for a fast and flawless finish. I love skin so I use nude tones for shadows, contours and lips and subtle splash of bright color on the cheeks. *Who’s your beauty inspiration and why? Being a wife and mother inspires me. It’s important for me to look healthy and beautiful for my husband and my kids. I try to get in at least 15 minutes of exercise a day and I always wear a little make-up so that my family sees me at my best every day.

Originally Published in This Issue (January, 1970) When Gary Young came on the scene and made his record lifts - feats I thought out of my reach before then - his victories inspired me so greatly that I began to reexamine my concepts of training. I held the National record for the Deadlift at 713.5 pounds when I lost to Gary, and at that time my training on the lift was about once every two or three weeks. These workouts rarely consisted of full movements, although I occasionally did 3 reps with 680. Mostly they were half, or partial Deadlifts, and from the knee I did 760 from just below the knee I made 775, and from just above the knee I succeeded with 840. My grip was never a problem as I have supported 1000 pounds in my hands without losing it. This was my usual routine and it never changed except just before the York Nationals. In talking to Gary after he defeated me I learned that he did many Deadlifts Off a Box, and that the bar rested on his toes when he did the exercise. [Note: There's a few photos of Peanuts West in the start position of a deficit deadlift with this article. His feet just fit under the bar with 45's on it, a low deficit position. From the side, his chest is just about touching his thighs.] Reportedly, Young had made 685 while standing on the low box. I figured it was a good challenge, so I started to train in this way. I started out by making 500 for 1 rep, bar resting on the toes. After training this way for several months I tried 550 for 10 reps. This I made, but my regular Deadlift was not up any higher. After talking to Bill West I was advised to try singles for a while. I got up to 675 for 1, but strangely enough my regular Deadlift go no better. I kept on the heavy-rep box deadlift program, and with Bill's help I stayed on the singles program for 3 months. I had almost given up hope that I would ever approach the 720- to 750-pound category when I decided that I would try the Heavy Higher Reps program. This time I set myself a goal of 600 for 10 reps. I figured that if I made this weight I should be able to lift about 765 to 800 pounds for the regular Deadlift. I started to train very hard. I got back to the 500 pounds for 10 reps. After about six weeks I made 575 for 10 reps at Joe Gold's gym. They said it was very impressive. On several occasions I tried to make the 600 for 10 reps but I failed. I can honestly say that I have made 600 for 6 reps . . . 625 for 3 . . . and 645 for 2 reps. I believe that on the day I did the 675 for one I could have done two with it. So in the final analysis this was the best lifting that I had done. Still, my Deadlift had not moved above 700 pounds in training, so I decided to lay off. After about 10 days I decided to try again. I went to the following routine: One Tuesdays I worked up to no more than 425 pounds for 3 sets of 10. That was the entire workout for that night. I then would come in on Saturday and do a warmup in the Deadlift but I never did more than 3 reps with any given weight. After the bar got above 500 pounds I did only singles in 70-lb. jumps. At first this program was not too successful, but after 3 weeks I got up to doing a full Deadlift with 725 pounds. 2 weeks after that I made 740 and then every week after that I got to be consistent with 750 to 800 pounds. This I did with many witnesses present. I made this lift in late November of 1968. I also squatted 800 pounds in the same workout. All this at a bodyweight of under 240. At the present time, I can lift over 750 in the regular Deadlift and I'm looking forward to the L.A. City Championships to try and get the record back. I am maintaining the power by laying off for a week every 3 weeks so that I can give my back a chance to rest. I later discovered that the reason my Deadlift was not moving the way I wanted it to was because, even though I felt rested, my back was still tired. I firmly believe that the Deadlift can be improved without continuous heavy training. One day during the week should be devoted to the maintaining of tendon strength by the use of high reps with a medium weight. This conditions the muscles without making them tired. Then one day during the week can be devoted to heavy singles. On the heavy day, I found that as I was beginning to increase my strength I would shoot for a certain poundage for a certain number of singles. So as I was first trying this new program, I tried to make 700 for 3 singles. But maybe on some other heavy day when fully rested I would try for 700 for 3 reps and then I would be finished for the day. Continually switching your main sets around is a good idea because you continually have new goals to shoot for. One day your main set might be for a maximum single record, or it might be for a maximum rep record. I never do more than 5 reps with any very heavy Deadlift. My bests to date are: 675 x 6 700 x 3 725 x 2. I hope these ideas help you if you are having the troubles that I was. I really believe these methods work, and that with a little patience and a lot of hard work they will work for you.
