The movements in competitive weightlifting—the snatch, clean, jerk, and other variations—can make you a more powerful athlete, no matter what sport you’re in. The enhanced edition of Explosive Lifting for Sports shows how to incorporate these exercises into your own sports training program.
This special book and DVD-ROM package demonstrates the safest, most effective learning progressions for the snatch, clean, jerk, pulling assistance exercises, squat, and other lifts. Perform each lift safely with step-by-step instructions and develop the strength, power, and speed you need for your specific sport. Included are specific power-development programs for 10 different power sports: football, baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, hockey, track and field, wrestling, racket sports, and competitive weightlifting.
The all-new DVD-ROM, enhanced by the award-winning Dartfish software, provides detailed video analysis of the included lifts. When installed on your PC, the software allows you to review, study, and print key movements of each exercise. The on-screen instruction and a frame-by-frame breakdown demonstrate the execution of each lift to create an overall package that establishes a new benchmark for weightlifting instruction.
Most coaches and athletes today agree that resistance training creates stronger, faster players who are more resistant to injury. Improve your performance on the field or on the court and develop whole-body power with this enhanced edition of Explosive Lifting for Sports.
