Book Synopsis Strength Coaching in America by : Jason P. Shurley
Download or read book Strength Coaching in America written by Jason P. Shurley and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s hard to imagine, but as late as the 1950s, athletes could get kicked off a team if they were caught lifting weights. Coaches had long believed that strength training would slow down a player. Muscle was perceived as a bulky burden; training emphasized speed and strategy, not “brute” strength. Fast forward to today: the highest-paid strength and conditioning coaches can now earn $700,000 a year. Strength Coaching in America delivers the fascinating history behind this revolutionary shift. College football represents a key turning point in this story, and the authors provide vivid details of strength training’s impact on the gridiron, most significantly when University of Nebraska football coach Bob Devaney hired Boyd Epley as a strength coach in 1969. National championships for the Huskers soon followed, leading Epley to launch the game-changing National Strength Coaches Association. Dozens of other influences are explored with equal verve, from the iconic Milo Barbell Company to the wildly popular fitness magazines that challenged physicians’ warnings against strenuous exercise. Charting the rise of a new athletic profession, Strength Coaching in America captures an important transformation in the culture of American sport.

Book Synopsis Secrets of the Squat Snatch by : Peter George
Download or read book Secrets of the Squat Snatch written by Peter George and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why learn the secrets of the squat snatch? The answer is obvious if you’re an Olympic-style weightlifting competitor—or a coach, fan or history buff of this sport. It’s the most authoritatively endorsed book ever written on this lift. But did you know that the squat snatch is not only the best single test of strength, speed and coordination. It’s also the single best exercise to develop these empowering attributes. According to Dr. Allison Brager who is a neuroscientist, as well as a competitive CrossFit athlete and author of Meathead: Unraveling the Athletic Brain: The Secrets of the Squat Snatch is the complete tool kit for athletes and their coaches who strive to elegantly channel—while enhancing—their explosive neuro-muscular power through this standard Olympic lift. You can, and ideally should do a lot of other exercises, but the one you’ll get the most benefit from for time spent is the squat snatch. This book, therefore, is a must read if you’re a CrossFit trainee,An athlete who wants to excel in another active sport,Anyone who wants to enhance his or her explosive neuro-muscular power for any good and just purpose. I’m Dr. Peter T George. My weightlifting buddies know me as Pete George—that’s the name I’m listed as in the Olympic record books. I was blessed to have been coached by Larry Barnholth. He was the legendary coach who figured out how the squat snatch should be performed to achieve maximum poundage with stability. He then produced champions who broke records in the snatch with the squat style when most of the world’s lifters were using the split style. In 1950 when Larry was besieged with enquires for his “secrets” to mastering this lift, I helped him write and publish the first edition of this book. TOMMY KONO AND DAVE SHEPPARD were the first two purchasers of the Secrets of the Squat Snatch. After reading it, both went on to beat official world records on this lift. In fact, Tommy was declared by the International Weightlifting Federation to have been the greatest weightlifter of the twentieth Century. How much credit should this hip pocket manual get for their worldwide successes? No one can say for sure, but Dave personally told me that it was very helpful to him in perfecting his nearly flawless style. Tommy had very carefully and neatly marked up the ideas he wanted to remember in his copy to the extent that the Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports at the University of Texas obtained his original copy to preserve in their archives. I hope they’ll display it or a copy in the room they have dedicated to him in their museum. Tommy’s phenomenal success as a weightlifter is even more impressive when you consider he never had a personal coach, although he obtained as much information as he could acquire from Larry Barnholth in their several meetings and through their postal correspondence. Tommy was my close personal friend for over 60 years. He stayed active on the world weightlifting scene—officiating, coaching and writing—until very near his death in 2016. He kept urging me to republish this book. He claimed there was none simpler for a beginner to quickly learn the squat snatch nor one more authoritative for the experienced lifer to perfect his or her style. I’m sorry I did not publish it sooner, but it is for the above reasons that I have dedicated this Vintage Edition of the Secrets of the Squat Snatch to my dear friend and Olympic teammate Tommy Kono.

Book Synopsis Foundational Weight Training by : Jason Miller
Download or read book Foundational Weight Training written by Jason Miller and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a strength coach, Weightlifting coach and professor I have been, and continue to be a part, of barbell sport and barbell training. I fell in love with the barbell when I was 12 years old after my father gave me his old 110lb set and I got my DP bench press. Since then the barbell has been a part of helping me achieve my goals of playing college football, aided in meeting my wife (I met her as a strength coach), is the basis for my income and has provided me an outlet in maintaining my own health and competitive outlet. The barbell has also been the foundation one of my passions, coaching the sport of weightlifting. As a young strength coach and now professor teaching other young coaches, I was always frustrated I could not find a book that was practical, and included many examples, in presenting how to build set and repetition schemes along with weekly and daily program. Even now there are not many books that actually provide practical and not just theoretical information. After recognizing the need for a practical text that any trainer, coach and barbell enthusiast could use, the authors constructed this book to: 1) provide some background theory on sets and repetition schemes along with weekly and daily training but, more importantly, 2) give practical examples of daily and weekly set and repetition programming strategies. This book is not intended as a text book but instead a quick reference for coaches, trainers and those that just love to lift. The main topics of this book include the theory behind the sets and repetition schemes and, more importantly, the practical application of theory with actual program examples including: wave training, accommodating resistance training (bands and chains), Anderson lifts, eccentric training, pyramidal loading schemes, velocity training, autoregulation and weekly programming ideas and strategies.
Book Synopsis Some Far and Distant Place by : Jonathan S. Addleton
Download or read book Some Far and Distant Place written by Jonathan S. Addleton and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Pakistan to Baptist missionaries from rural Georgia, Jonathan S. Addleton crossed the borders of race, culture, class, and religion from an early age. Some Far and Distant Place combines family history, social observation, current events, and deeply personal commentary to tell an unusual coming-of-age story that has as much to do with the intersection of cultures as it does with one man's life. Whether sharing ice cream with a young Benazir Bhutto or selling gospel tracts at the tomb of a Sufi saint, Addleton provides insightful and sometimes hilarious glimpses into the Muslim-Christian encounter through the eyes of a young child. His narrative is rooted in many unlikely sources, including a southern storytelling tradition, Urdu ghazal, revivalist hymnology, and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The natural beauty of the Himalayas also leaves a strong and lasting mark, providing solidity in a confusing world that on occasion seems about to tilt out of control. This clear-eyed, insightful memoir describes an experience that will become increasingly more common as cultures that once seemed remote and distant are no longer confined within the bounds of a single nation-state.
