Arthur Drechsler - The Weightlifting Encyclopedia Video Companion

Genre: Video Training

The Weightlifting Encyclopedia Video Companion (WEV) was created to be a companion to The Weightlifting Encyclopedia (WLE) book. Three hours in length, it demonstrates many of the techniques, technical rules, assistance exercises, learning sequences and types of equipment that are presented and analyzed in the book. In some cases the video expands upon what is in the book, in other cases the book covers material about a subject that the video approaches from a different angle. In still other cases, the book covers material in detail that the video does not address at all (e.g., training for strength and power, mental preparation, diet and nutrition, coping with injuries, preparing for a competition, motor learning theory and biomechanics). In essence, the book and video complement each other.

The footage for the tape was shot in a serious weightlifting gym with real weightlifters of all levels (from World Champions and Olympians to relative beginners), and at a recent World Weightlifting Championships, so it won't look like it came out of a broadcast studio. There are a few glitches with the sound and you'll see a few plates and other equipment lying around in the gym on occasion. But we think you'll like the video even better because it's realistic.
