{"product_id":"2940013648999","title":"Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training Second Edition","description":"Like the first edition, this second edition is intended to serve as a compendium of those aspects of Weightlifting and Weight-Training essential to the development of physical strength. A prominent feature of this book is the in-depth coverage of scientific and medical aspects of a forgotten sport. In this second edition, all efforts were made to revise the first edition and correct the typographical errors in spelling and grammar. The book Index and Glossary have been restructured more efficiently. In this edition, chapters six and seven, of the first edition, are consolidated into one chapter, with complete restructuring of the anatomical figures. The following two new chapters are added: Chapter seven –“Warm-up and Stretching” eases the difficulty of planning training without weight, prior to venturing into vigorous lifting. Chapter twenty one –“Performance Analysis”- immensely enhances the visual understanding of the dynamics of Weightlifting and the functional anatomy of the human body. It contains 395 impressive photographs of international Olympic weightlifters, beginning by Vasily Alxeev and Pyrros Dimas, and ending by Reza Zadeh. With colossal collections of annotated photographic art work, the second edition becomes a must have reference on weightlifting, athletic performance, human strife for glory, health, and graceful existence. The second edition adheres to the basic premise of the first edition of emphasizing axial training with vehement zeal. This is supported extensively by the hundreds of colorful photographs, drawings, and personal narrations. The very unique aspect of the second edition is the extensive elaboration on performance analysis of contemporary weightlifters by an engineer, physician, weightlifter, and math teacher. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 Proper Lifting Techniques\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Fallacies and Their Critiques\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 Weightlifting \u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Powerlifting \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Bodybuilding \u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Warm-up and Stretching      --\u0026gt; NEW \u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 The Snatch Lift \u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 The Clean \u0026amp; Jerk \u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 Endurance vs. Strength\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 Axial Training vs. Peripheral Training\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12 Making Training Choices\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13 Managing Volume \u0026amp; Intensity\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 Health and Fitness \u003cbr\u003eChapter 15 Exercise and Preventable Diseases\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16 Exercise \u0026amp; Injuries \u003cbr\u003eChapter 17 Exercise and Science\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18 Frequently Asked Questions\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19 Training Women \u003cbr\u003eChapter 20 Guidelines for Optimum Strength Training \u003cbr\u003eChapter 21 Performance Analysis","brand":"Shaymaa Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167906775280,"sku":"2940013648999","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013648999_p0.jpg?v=1763583978","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013648999","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
