The program has assisted athletes in all sports improve their performance and has produced champions in power lifting at the regional, state and national levels. The course is offered to students from eighth to the twelfth grade. Equipment consists of free weights and machines. The normal schedule is Monday through Friday for about an hour, some days more time is allotted. An adult supervisor is present at all times during the activity, currently the Chaplain of Cadets.
Instruction consists of the basics of weight lifting form and safety.
It is a self passed program, but cadets are expected to stay busy. Discipline is maintained by the supervisor. However, self-discipline is the goal. Time for lifting is a premium and is expected to be utilized wisely. It is desired that each cadet in this activity is in it because he wants to lift weights, enjoys strengthening his body, builds the self-discipline to get the results he dreams of, and develops the skills of a physical activity which he may use throughout his life.
