Weightlifting Programming: A Winning Coach's Guide

Weightlifting Programming: A Winning Coachâ€™s Guide by Bob Takano is the most thorough English-language book available on the subject of program planning for Olympic-style weightlifting. Takano covers the theoretical and practical issues, the biological and mathematical underpinnings, and provides a straightforward process for developing training programs with plentiful examples.

â€œFor a systematic approach to designing programming for competitive weightlifters, there is nothing better in the English language than this book. All coaches serious about developing elite level weightlifters must have this book on their shelves.â€
â€”Greg Everett, author of Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches

â€œThe age of the internet has brought us a lot of phony weightlifting experts, self-created gurus who have a list of actual lifting accomplishments that you could fit on a postage stamp. Bob Takano is a true weightlifting master from the old school, and his knowledge is a benefit to anybody who wants to improve in this great sport.â€
â€”Matt Foreman, author of Bones of Iron

â€œBob Takanoâ€™s book, â€œWeightlifting Programming: A Winning Coachâ€™s Guideâ€ is excellent. As I looked at it page by page my reaction was â€œWOW!â€ What an Olympian task, so much great, detailed information. What I liked best was all the detailed programs, lift by lift, set by set, rep by rep, day by day, workout by workout. And the information on the Eastern European workouts and training methods is explained as well as Iâ€™ve ever seen. This book has so much great information, every Olympic-Style Weightlifting coach should buy it read it and use it as a reference in their coaching. Lifters that like to know the â€œnuts and boltsâ€ of weightlifting should read this book.â€
â€”Jim Schmitz, US Olympic Weightlifting Team Head Coach 1980, 1988, Assistant Coach 1992, President of USA Weightlifting 1988â€”1996, Member of IWF Executive Board 1992â€”1996

His knowledge of the history and technical aspects of the sport are second to none. I highly recommend this as part of your weightlifting library. Bob is one of my "go to coaches" when I have a question."
