February 12, 1985, THE TRINITY TRIPOD, Page 19 ORE SPORTS Weightlifting Trys To Shake Image The word "weightlifting" carries with it some heavy baggage. Images of real life Michelin Men come to mind — huge bodys sweating as they try and lift incomprehensibly heavy weights. Intriguing monsters like Arnold Schwartzineger and Lou Farrigno. And one trip to the Trinity weight room on an average afternoon seems to only confirm the standard images of weightlifting. The room is packed with athletes who are very serious about their lifting. There are football players, crewbies, lacrosse players, etc, all getting ready for their "next" season — getting stronger, getting bigger. For the non-athlete this scene is very intimidating. To lift "lightly" among the heavyweights might be only slightly less enchanting an idea than swimming across the English Channel. No one likes to embarass themselves. However, the Trinity weightroom at 4:00pm and body builders' huge bodies are both exceptions. In general, the weightroom is a quite and uncrowded place and weightlifting is a useful part of a general physical fitness program. Todd Marble, the offensive line coach for Trinity's football team, would like to see weightlifting's image at Trinity changed. He has taken down the pictures of body builders that dotted the weightroom's bulletin board and replaced them withjnformation sheets on lifting. Tuesday Afternoon photos by Virginia B.
