Greg Everett – Olympic Weightlifting Seminar

GREG EVERETT – OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING SEMINAR

Since the release of Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches in 2008, it has become the standard text for learning and teaching the snatch and clean and jerk.

This all new third edition has been expanded over 150 pages with revised and improved chapters, new chapters, improved organization, more tables and diagrams, over 600 photographs, improved readability, and improved reference function with an index, glossary and expanded table of contents.

The book presents a complete progression for athletes and coaches starting with breath control and trunk stabilization, squatting, balance and weight distribution, warming-up, individual variation, and working to complete learning and teaching progressions for the snatch, clean and jerk.

Don Weideman is the Vice President of the Pacific Weightlifting Association.

Mike Burgener, USA Weightlifting senior international coach, said the book was the best on the market.

Outstanding, accurate, and simple! A must read for athletes and coaches.

One of the best instructional books for the sport to be published in years is Everett’s Olympic Weightlifting text. This is a must have for every strength and conditioning coach. Bob Takano is a member of the USA Weightlifting Hall of Fame.

One of the most accessible and comprehensive sources for the coach and athlete today is Everett’s book. I highly recommend this book for strength coaches and lifters.
