enough debate


The reviews so far are quickly turning into a debate over suitablility of training types, crossover of athletic capacity and etc. This section is for reviews.

This book will teach you how to lift in the Olympic Style, pure and simple. This would be a supreme training tool in conjunction with an olympic lifting coach, but is very good on its own. Without a trainer, and using this book, I went from no confidence to snatching and clean and jerking.

The author does not at any point say that olympic lifting is the be-all and end-all of athletic training, but states that olympic lifting can play a major role in preparation for sport. Thus, the book achieves exactly what it says it will: teach the reader olympic lifting, and how to apply it to sports.

a basic primer on the o-lifts

The book is ok, but it seems like it would be a good book for
introduction, or high school students. I couldn't see anyone
learning to do the lifts from this book, its definately not
a how to or substitute for real coaching. the title sounds
like its trying to hook in people but the book is a basic
primer on the o-lifts.

great topic

I agree that the person that says that explosive lifting is not helping doesnt know what he is talking about. The essence of basketball is not aerobic, it is anaerobic and very explosive. I dare you to take two identical players, and have one player only do endurance stuff and have another do explosive work and other anaerobic work. The later should end of being the better player. Basketball is full of athletic players who are fast, quick, jump high and are strong. Aerobic work takes away from explosiveness. I am a trainer, I have my CSCS, I graduated with a degree in exercise and sport science and I promise that this kind of lifting is key and helpful.

Do your Olympic Lifts

Mohammed, At all the elite levels of competition in an amazing array of sports you will find athletes performing olympic lifts almost exclusively. Even if you believe the author's beliefs are out of an enthusiasm for weightlifting you can not deny the success that this type of lifting has given to so many lifters throughout the entire world.


Decent Book

This book was nothing special. It was slow in the beginning - and then got better. All in all good but, could never replace learning first hand from someone who can critique your form.
