World Record Snatch

[Guest guest]

,

Yeah I found it very useful too. It helped me greatly to understand

weightlifting technique, the resource that taught me best about technique.

The version I have is Charniga translation, not the original.

How's the weather in Buffalo ATM BTW? Has the lake effect stuff started

yet?

I guess my Bible for weightlifting is Artie Dreschler's Encylopedia of

Weightlifting! I've read Bud's translations of the Russian training texts and

they are near impossible to read, due to the translation being verbatim.

Artie's book OTOH, is a wonderful amalgamation of different coaching

systems and techniques and he breaks everything down to the basic elements.

There's nothing that Artie leaves out--and in fact, his book is a must read for

any coach in any sport. The section on programming is excellent and

applies to weightlifting as well as any sport.

And some trivia for the non-OLifting crowd. Artie held the world record

for the military press and was the last US World Record Holder in Olympic

Weightlifting.

Hi Miles,

Artie's book is another super resource. You're right he really did his homework,

and has walked the walk.

From discussions with Bud, I know he strives to translate Russian literature as

authentically as possible. It can make for some challenging reading, given the

nuances of both languages. I think he feels a duty to preserve the author's

original content and not risk losing anything by wordsmithing it to make it more

readable. I respect his reasons for doing that - but struggled to grasp a lot of

that info at first.
