Through determination, dedication, and holding on to his roots, Shane was able to achieve all his dreams. Join Shane on his inspirational journey and learn what it means to go From Melons to Medals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to A De-Masculinization of Strength, Andrew Charniga, Sportivnypress.com A De-Masculinization of Strength is one of a kind in – depth analysis of the evolution of the elite female weightlifter. Beginning with progress of the female world records relative to those of the men since the introduction of world weightlifting championships for women in 1987; social, physiological and psychological factors involved in the achievements are covered. Considerable incite is offered into the how and why female lifters have overcome social – psychological barriers to achieve high results in male dominated realm of strength. “The psychotropic quality of aggressiveness is a natural peculiarity of the male weightlifter in response to the ascending weight of the barbell.” “Sport scientists Medvedyev (RUS) {1999} and CAO (CHN) {1993} both believe the female weightlifter’s ability to accommodate this massive training load is because the female organism has low levels of testosterone.” “It is more common knowledge than common application that exercises requiring high power necessitate performance against a backdrop of overall relaxation”. “…the male weightlifter is not as capable of performing a complex speed – strength skill exercise like the clean and jerk as efficiently as the female weightlifter; due to the male’s reliance on pyramiding levels of aggressiveness to perform this exercise.” “The psychotropic quality of aggressiveness is a natural peculiarity o the male weightlifter in response to the ascending weight of the barbell.” “Relaxed straining would seem to be an oxymoron.” “The East German sports science authorities decided “to administer testosterone as well as dihydrotestosterone by nasal spray, especially in those events in which the psychotropic effects of testosterone, such as increased aggressiveness, are considered important, as well as to evade doping tests.” (Franke, Berendonk, 1997). “… extensive observations over a period of many years, many top female lifters are able to perform the jerk from the chest even after a very fatiguing clean, precisely because they lack this quality of aggressiveness, i.e., the overzealous, impulsiveness which inhibits the ability to switch effectively from a simpler power movement in order to physically and psychologically re – gather.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an explosion in the quantity of sports history literature published in recent years, making it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of developments. The annual number of publications has increased from around 250 to 1,000 a year over the last decade. This is due in part to the fact that during the late 1980s and 90s, many clubs, leagues and governing bodies of sport have celebrated their centenaries and produced histories to mark this occasion and commemorate their achievements. It is also the result of the growing popularity and realisation of the importance of sport history research within academe. This international bibliography of books, articles, conference proceedings and essays in the English language is a one-stop for the sports historian to know what is new.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olympic Movement began with the Ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Greece on the Peloponnesus peninsula at Olympia, Greece. It is not clear why the Greeks instituted this quadrennial celebration in the form of an athletic festival. The recorded history of the Ancient Olympic Games begins in 776 B.C., although it is suspected that the Games had been held for several centuries by that time. The Games were conducted as religious celebrations in honor of the god Zeus, and it is known that Olympia was a shrine to Zeus from about 1000 B.C. In modern time The Olympic Movement attempts to bring all the nations of the world together in a series of multisport festivals, the Olympic Games, seeking to use sport as a means to promote internationalism and peace. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of The Olympic Movement covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on the history, philosophy, and politics of the Olympics, major organizations, the various sports, the participating countries, and especially the athletes. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about The Olympic Movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of the older readers of Strength & Health know of Bill Pullum and what this remarkable man has done for weightlifting, but the younger generation probably knows very little about the man. Pullum was born on April 8, 1887. In 1904 he became interested in physical culture as a result of coming to lodge with the Slade brothers, professional strongman competition winners, who worked closely with the Saxons in England. At the time Pullum suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis. Previously he had twice undergone surgery for bone tuberculosis. Through physical culture methods he cured himself of this disease. In 1905 he began lifting weights, his goal being to prove that science could be brought into the lifting of heavy weights. He succeeded to an extent that his own performances completely revolutionized the sport in England. For years Pullum remained at the top. His aim of being the 9-stone (126-pound) champion of the world went unchallenged for 15 years. He retired in 1929 at the age of 42. Pullum never weighed more than 122 pounds during his reign. In March of 1914 he officially equaled his bodyweight of 120-1/2 pounds in the crucifix lift, the only man ever to accomplish this extraordinary feat. In four years he won 15 British amateur championships and open competitions, 53 gold medals, and broke 192 world and British weightlifting records--every one an official performance. When he turned professional, no fewer than four of his records ran right through from the 126-pound class to the heavyweight division. In those days records made by a smaller man stood in heavier classes if they exceeded the record for the heavier class. Some of those records still stand. In England Bill Pullum is widely renowned as a coach and trainer. He has trained scores of champions and record holders. At one time he and his pupils held 222 records out of a possible 252. My impressions of "Dad" Pullum were certainly confirmed after meeting the man. He was everything that I imagined he would be, and even more. One who has not met him cannot imagine the warmth, sincerity, and devotion to physical culture that he personifies. He is a rich man in many ways, and I do not mean materially. Although he and Mrs. Pullum have been married for 52 years, I could see, as they spoke to each other, that here was a couple still deeply in love with each other even after all those years of married life." -Sig Klein This is an original version restored edition of Pullum's 1926 classic.
