Riassunto

Book 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.

L'autore:

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.

Editorial Reviews Kliplemet, T-nation Bodybuilding's Think-Tank 02/06/06 Free-style Weightlifting would be you best bid for long healthy strength. Think about it, it makes perfect sense Paul Crabtree, February 01, 2006 I am becoming intrigued with the idea of "total fitness" through your descriptions and life-benefits of your "core" exercises. Asif Rafeek, Dec-25-05 I bought this book last year and it was one of the best Weight lifting books I have ever read. Aurora Public Library, Aurora, Colorado I love it. It is the "MOST" comprehensive and well balanced book I have ever seen. — Sandra Kaunisto Elite Fitness Systems, Year 2006 This book offers a lot of great advice in such a way that you can actually understand it. Nate, Morrison, March 13, 2005 Soldiers need to focus on strength training rather than bodybuilding, or what Dr. Mohamed El-Hewie refers to as axial lifts. George Koupatadze, October 01, 2004 It compares weightlifting and bodybuilding and has stories and pictures of Egyptian weightlifting kids incorporating gymnastics into their training.

From the Author This book is intended to serve as a compendium of those aspects of Weightlifting and Weight-Training that are 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. The idea of writing a book about Weightlifting has haunted me since 1970s¡¦. Yet, the old means of typing, drawing, and statistical analysis were quite discouraging in tackling such task of vast descriptive nature. Along thirty years, from the birth of the idea to deciding to proceed with writing and publication, many events have enriched my experience about the subject. Among these events was the exposure to men with great experience in international Weightlifting. In addition, I am also grateful to the city of my birth, Alexandria Egypt, for the exposure it offered me to many Olympic gold medallists in Weightlifting. As a seaport, Alexandria has offered me unique exposure to international trends that lacked in the rest of the neighboring towns. I owe deep indebtedness to many teachers and professors who had shaped my academic acumen.
