"Since shortly after its original release in 2008, Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches has been the most popular book on the sport of weightlifting in the world and has become the standard text for learning and teaching the snatch and clean & jerk. The book presents a complete progression for athletes and coaches starting with foundational elements such as breath control and trunk stabilisation, squatting, balance and weight distribution, warming-up, and individual variation. It moves on to complete learning and teaching progressions for the snatch, clean and jerk; covering training program design extensively, including assessment for recruiting and new lifters, and 16 sample training programs; technical error correction, supplemental exercises, nutrition, bodyweight manipulation, and mobility. It includes a thorough section on competition to prepare both lifters and coaches."--Provided by publisher.

True toughness encompasses more than common perceptions and significantly impacts our success and fulfillment. It comprises four interdependent elements: Character—understanding who you are and your identity; Capability—recognizing your abilities; Capacity—knowing what you can endure; and Commitment—determining your willingness to act. Genuine toughness involves mastering the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of ourselves, enabling us not just to survive adversity but to thrive in its aftermath. This mastery fosters self-reliance and confidence, opening doors to new opportunities while allowing us to contribute positively to the world. It helps us grasp our true identity, which we shape and reinforce through our daily choices and habits. True toughness also empowers us to stay dedicated to our goals, regardless of the challenges we face. This approach is not about promoting a rigid notion of masculinity or emotional suppression but rather serves as a guide to develop our capacity for resilience. It encourages us to gather the mental and physical tools necessary to tackle challenges, find security in our identities, and become active, positive contributors to society. This exploration of toughness reveals its significance and offers practical steps for achieving meaningful change in life.
