THE Bible for Olympic Weightlifting Fantastic resource from a well respected Olympic lifting coach, author and entrepreneur. Covers all the basics and then some, with great photos and step-by-step progressions, and includes some great sections on mobility, programming, etc. Also has a great section on faults and fixes, which I have gone to a number of times for myself and for others I have coached. This is THE bible for all things olympic lifting related. Gotta have this one on your shelf if you are training or coaching the olympic lifts, or if you are a dedicated CrossFitter.Textbook for weightlifting This book is no joke. Not only is it heavy duty, it's packed with information.I started this book like I would any textbook. Greg Everett does a great job of outlining everything that is entailed in Olympic weightlifting, from the equipment that is used, gear to wear like sleeves, wraps and weightlifting SHOES (i had no idea), ways to tape and chalk up, and safety straps and belts.What I really like about Everett's guide are the sections on technique and development. There are plenty of options to read up on, depending skill level and training desires of the lifter. There is weight gain, classic lift and a Bulgarian program as examples.I'm not gonna lie, the idea of weightlifting is a tad intimidating . However, using this book properly, much information is given that is eases my anxiety a bit. Everett provides a whole sections on how to correct lifts. There are so many pictures of proper technique so one can identify what would constitute a proper lift and what wouldn't .The education continues on through the nutrition section where weight and supplements are covered. Everett even goes on to cover the training one must take in order to begin competition. Like I said, this book is packed with information. I never like going into situations unprepared, especially ones where there is a potential for injury, but I feel that Everett really created a guide to help coach a weightlifter to were they would like to be.Can you ask for more? A must read if you want to improve your Olympic lifts in an exponential manner. Great resource for any crossfit participant. Now I understand more clearly the concepts my coach is trying to teach our class. The author has a website with instructional videos and articles covering a wide variety of topics for competitive lifters and he is on Facebook as well under Catalyst Athletics. His female lifting team just won the national championship so he definitely knows how to convey his knowledge and inspire his students. The book is quite large, about two and a half inches thick, and approximately six hundred pages, with a ton of photographs demonstrating proper form. Now I plan to to outfit my own home gym. My first purchase will be a good barbell and quality bumper plates. This book will reside right beside them. My thanks to the author for his inspirational work.
