Secrets of the Squat Snatch

Description

Review Revised the history of Olympic weightlifting When in the history of a sport there are major revelations that lead to change, it's a historical moment. Thus the topic of Dr. Pete George's book--written by one of the greatest lifters in the history of our sport--highlights an exceptional moment in time for weightlifting. The switch from the split to squat style in the snatch created an enduring evolution in the lift and led to incredible progress in understanding, advances in the study of WL mechanics and technique, and performance as demonstrated by the increasing amounts of weight lifted. The re-release of this book is a reminder of the significance of such moments in time and a must read and addition to any weightlifter and halterophile's collection of literature and historical materials.--Ursula Garza Papandrea, President USA Weightlifting, Vice President International Weightlifting Federation, competed in four world championships and is the first and only woman to attain USA Weightlifting's Senior International Coach status.
