Weightlifting Power Rack

Waiting for a new weight room

The Tiger Booster Club has opened discussion about renovating the weight room due to broken glass and sweat-pockets.

Located on the northeast side of the football field, the weight room hasn’t had any renovations for four or five years, according to Athletics Director Mr. Ralph Punaro. Many of the machines currently in the weight room were bought in the mid 1990’s and are not functioning due to their use of easily breakable cables.

New head varsity football coach Mr. Martin Konrad has taken charge of organizing the renovation. During his tenure at Flintridge Preparatory Academy, Konrad remodeled its weight room and established a weight lifting program that is still used there today. Konrad plans on working with Samson Equipment Inc. to supply the new equipment in the room.

According to Samson’s sale marketing director Scott Shroeder, “We’ve worked with just about every big-name university and professional team in the country. South Pas. is getting a great deal.”

Konrad plans on removing all non-working machines and outdated equipment and replacing it with new gear.

New benches, new dumbbells, new mirrors, and new Olympic Double Station power racks are all on the laundry list of new equipment to come in. However, if boosters and fundraisers are unable to raise the estimated $40,000 necessary for the project, it might not happen.

“Everything’s on hold for now. We have to look at all the athletic facilities first before doing anything,” said Punaro.

“It all costs money but we definitely want to upgrade the facility. We want this to be something we can all be proud of. Something that we can use to show our commitment to athletics and show our commitment as a school and a community to the development of our student athletes,” said Konrad.

Vince Delmonte’s No Nonsense Muscle Building

User Rating:

Here’s the best muscle building program I use as it is fully comprehensive from beginning till you are ripped and shredded.

I began this program somewhat flabby with excess fat around the arms, chest, and tummy. Vince’s methods from Cardio to Weight Training is rather grueling but disciplined. Results are visible after 1 week.

Besides that, I combined the training with swimming cardio and it helps to give me a tan which I kind of enjoy. I especially love the grueling biceps curl he demonstrated in his beginner’s training video. Man, that really burns! It will really help you to sculpt some serious guns! The feeling is awesome!
