Synopsis:

The use of weights as a means of physical training, as an aid to improvement at sports and games, for remedial work and as a competitive sport has been steadily increasing for many years. Today thousands of athletes and sportsmen use weight-training as a supplement to their normal training, and their numbers grow as the results of this activity become apparent in better performances. Ordinary men and women who are perhaps overweight or underweight find they can improve their physical condition by the regular practice of weight-training. Physical culturists use weights to help develop their muscles, and the sport of weightlifting-a part of the Olympic Games programme-gathers more followers each year. Now in a handsome new edition, this invaluable and highly practical book brings together leading authorities in many sports and activities to advise on the correct use of weights for particular requirements, and all their opinions are based on practical experience. With a wealth of new photographs in both colour and black and white, the book has been extensively revised and updated to include new material on such areas as fitness through weight-training, weight training for women, weight-training with machines, championship bodybuilding, weight training for rugby, powerlifting for beginners and world-class powerlifting.
