Book Review: A New Joy On Every Page
Summary: 5 Stars
"Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training"-2nd Ed. is more than a very good book on what it's title suggests. As previous reviewers have covered the expansive index, I'll try to add some more insights. This book benefits tremendously from the author's 40 years of hands-on experience in Olympic Lifting combined with his education as an MD and an engineer, coupled with an unstoppable enthousiasm for spreading the word of lifting, exercising and healthy living.
Only one of many positive results is that inside the book is found the most complete technical Olympic Lifting manual I have ever read, wich on the one hand is lavishly illustrated and lively written in an attractive lay-out, and on the other hand explains the intricate mechanical why and how of the Olympic lifts through every inch from the approach to the bar until the finish in exquisite detail. A near magical mix of utterly complete technical explanation of execution, assistance exercises and training planning, and inviting, low-threshhold writing.
These characteristics jump out in every chapter, on every page, in any subject covered. The clean & jerk and the snatch stand central stage but around them are added and rigorously covered all the important ingedients for health, not only competition, or training with a barbell: cardio-vascular health, physiology down to cellular level, mental and social issues, flexibility, axial strength, adequate nutrition, maximizing training longevity, body-building and bodyweight exercises,facts & fallacies, all sub-divided again. This is a rare book where the title falls short on the contents. 576 pages (including index) of solid "uplifting" info. Highly recommended.
