Summary

For those readers who are inclined to visual learning with the least amount of text, we present this illustrated edition of the Weightlifting Attic. We presented the sport of weightlifting in 584 photos and illustrations with comments on their roles in the four-year training program in Sjaak Smorenburg's Weightlifting Room. The illustrations emphasize the techniques of lifting and errors that are inherent in the learning process. We added anatomical illustrations when we felt that the reader might need a hint in figuring out the basic working schemes in the process of lifting. The book covers the following topics:Classical Weightlifting roomPower SnatchSnatch, narrow gripOne legged SquatClean and JerkThe Deadlift and PullFront SquatFailed SnatchComparison with International liftersHang SnatchHang CleanThe Snatch: Head, hips, bar trajectoriesThe Clean and Jerk: Head, hips, bar trajectoriesJerk from the RackFront SquatPower SnatchShoulder Press and SquattingNarrow hand gripped SnatchAnatomy of leg musclesEfficient Olympic Bar TrajectoryTraining on the head and squatting positioningMohamed F.
