Essentials of Weightlifting & Strength Training

Preface to second editionIn this edition, all efforts were made to revise the first edition and correct the typographical error in spelling and grammar. On the recommendation of Mr. Slavisa Nesic (reviewer from Novi Beograd, Serbia and Montenegro), I have consolidated the old chapters 6 and 7 into one chapter, with complete restructuring of the anatomical figures. The new chapter 7 ?Warm-up and Stretching?- should ease the difficulty of planning training without weight prior to venturing into vigorous lifting. In addition, a new chapter 21 ?Performance Analysis?- is added to enhance the visual understanding of Weightlifting dynamics. Mohamed F. El-Hewie Lodi, New Jersey, January 2005
