Download or read book Weightlifting Training and Technique written by Andrew Charniga and published by Sportivnypress.com. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Weightlifting Training and Technique I.P. Zhekov and various authors This book consists of translations of selected sections of two books: Ilya Zhekov’s The Biomechanics of the Weightlifting Exercises and Junior Weighlfiting by L.S. Dvorkin. European coaches and sport scientist have justifiably referred to Zhekov’s book as “god’s book of weightlifting”. Zkekov’s book incorporates unique perspectives from actual practice, biomechanics and even engineering concepts. In fact Zhekov left weightlifting later in his career to work for the Russian space agency, i.e., a seamless transfer from weightlifting biomechanics to rocket science. The rest o the book consists of various articles about weightlifting biomechanics, flexibility from R.A. Roman, A. Lukhashev, R.P. Moroz and others. “A correct execution of the movement is performed when there is no full extension of the knees, nor a significant rise onto the toes. The squat under begins when the athlete has straightened his knees to an angle of 165 - 170° and has only begun to rise onto the toes.” “A rational and consequently economical movement should begin with as great as speed as possible from the very beginning. (I.P. Zhekov, 1972) …”the weightlifter as a self – tuning system is confronted with the always present task to find such a movement structure which conforms to the required laws of physiology and will produce the maximum motor - effect. “the skill to execute the squat under in the presence of a slower barbell speed is also indicative of better technique; It is namely this skill that is important for lifting maximum weights”. I.P. Zhekov, 1976 “The feet, like the spine, are the support and “springing” apparatus of man. The arch permits the feet to become a “spring” . I.P. Zhekov, 1976

Download or read book Gorilla Grip ADVANCED written by Rahul Mookerjee and published by 0 Excuses Fitness. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ONLY course that will give you that CAST IRON grip with an “unnatural pull to it” – and INHUMAN levels of RAGING “ape like” strength throughout the entire upper body. If you’re interested in grip training, and have already devoured my initial course on grip strength “Gorilla Grip”, but are looking for more – – well, look no further. First off, congratulations. I’m assuming that since you’re on this page, you’ve gotten past the 16 or so exercises (and their variants) that I’ve mentioned in the initial course, and that alone puts you into a very RARE category – – rarest of rare, if I might say so – – part of a SELECT bunch of people that are ALWAYS looking to improve no matter how “good” they may get at something.And that is how it should be. Remember, it’s nigh impossible to master any exercise – – and the same thing holds true, or doubly true for grip strength. And for those of you that think you’ve already got a rock solid cast iron grip due to hours of doing pull-ups (or lifting weights)?Think you’ve already got finger strength that is unrivalled amongst your peers? Well, that’s great – – but I guarantee you – – what I’ve got to offer you in this course will make you think again, my friend.In fact, I would be understating it to say that JAWS can, will and literally DO drop after doing some of the exercises I mention in this course, if just because of the way they quite literally leave your forearms, fingers and grip feeling like pulp – – not to mention your shoulders, upper body and core – – all of which get a better workout in ways different than you’ve ever gotten before. So you’re certainly at the right place. Gorilla grip X 2 – or MORE – levels of grip strength – – or in other words, INHUMAN levels of strength in your wrists, fingers and forearms that you never knew you could attain. If folks were shying away from shaking your hand before, they won’t come close now.Respect and CONFIDENCE in spades – they say a man (or a woman’s) grip says a lot about his/her character, and it’s true, my friend. ‘Tis so true. When you’ve got this sort of rugged ape like grip, you’ll be more confident than the rest of the folks in the room – and this confidence will display itself without you meaning to from the MINUTE you shake hands with someone.Not only that – you’ll get that look of “respect” from other folks as they admiringly and “grudgingly” in some cases (and usually silently) acknowledge the “grip from hell” you’ve got!THICK, STRONG fingers of rebar that are EVERY bit as RUGGEDLY strong as they look – – in ALL directions (this alone is a mind bender for most folks, but you’ll see what I mean when you get cracking on the exercises). Hands that can handle heavy weights without concern – – and I don’t mean the nonsense at the gyms. I mean REAL heavy weights – in the REAL world. Such as massive stones, for instance.Hands, and ARMS that can handle ANY situation with aplomb. Wouldn’t you like to live with the confidence that you had the strength to climb down the pipes running down your building in case of a fire or other emergency? Well, THIS course will give you that strength! Massive Popeye like forearms with veins running up and down them – and upper arms to boot. Bicep strength you cannot get from doing curls – in fact, some of this stuff will give you INSANE levels of strength that you couldn’t hope to achieve from YEARS of doing curls. A compact, powerfully built yet lean “packed” chest that will be the envy of all. You’ll NEVER feel shy again about taking your shirt off in public! And all of this would be incomplete without mentioning the core, my friend. Not only will all this work your CORE and LOWER BACK like NEVER BEFORE – – it’ll also build that proverbial “12 pack” that most gym goers and trainees in general crave but usually never end up getting.And more - and all this is just off the TOP of my head, my friend. Dive straight in - be prepared to be nigh BLOWN AWAY.
