Synopsis

The changes made in this third edition were a result of the recent development in the printing and publishing industry. The Print-On-Demand option made it easy for authors to write and revise their work without the worry of the overhead financial burden of printing and storing voluminous amount of printed books. Also, the arrival of eBooks impacted publishing by eliminating the hassles of shipping and receiving for international readers. However, those recent development also imposed restrictions on the number of pages and binding of Print-On-Demand books. For the aforementioned reasons, I am compelled to divide the Second Edition into three volumes as follows. Part I: Bodybuilding and Powerlifting comprises the Strength Training aspect of the Second Edition. This part includes chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 14, and 18. The reason for bundling those chapters in one volume is that the seven chapters cover the issues of strength training along the technical, nutritional, and behavioral aspects. Part II: Olympic Weightlifting comprises the two Olympic lifts, their supporting exercises, and the managements of loading and volume. This part includes chapters 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 19, 20, and 22. Those chapters cover the technical, management, and health aspects of Olympic Weightlifting. Part III: Performance Analysis deals with the comparative analysis of International and Olympic Weightlifters. This part encompass chapters 12, 15, 17, and 21 which deals with comparative analysis among weightlifters, the scientific foundation of lifting, and the decisions made on making choices regarding strength training.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Product 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.

About the Author

I am a medical doctor and the author of the book titled 'Essentials of Weightlifting and Strength Training', year 2003, New York. The following are the highlights of my personal background: (1) I am an Egyptian-born American citizen, born in 1950 in Alexandria, Egypt. (2) Practiced Weightlifting at the age of 14 and competed in college and state contests in the 90 kg class. (3) Studied engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Alexandria, Egypt (1969-1974) and graduated with B.Sc. in Engineering. (4) Joined the Faculty of Medicine, University of Alexandria in 1975 and graduated in 1981, with M.B. and Ch.B. (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery). After two years of internship, I obtained my medical license and practiced as a rural physician, in Damanhour, province of Al-Behira, Egypt. (5) In 1977, I conducted research as a lecturer in the High Institute of Public Health in Alexandria in a conjoint project with the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the hazards of radioactive radon gas in the phosphate mines of South Egypt. (6) Overlapping with my undergraduate medical education, I studied for master and doctoral degrees in engineering and obtained my M.Sc. in 1978 and Ph.D. in 1983. My doctorate thesis in engineering was on the 'feasibility of laser-driven fusion'. A synopsis of the thesis was published in the Journal of Optical Society of America, in 1985. (7) In 1986 and 1987, I was awarded a postdoctoral research associateship by the National Research Council of U.S. and conducted research in the Frank. J. Seiler at the U.S. Air Force Academy, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. NRC Associateships Award Information: Year of Award: 1986 Start Year: 1986 Program Air Force Research Laboratory Center: Frank J.
