The Weightlifting Encyclopedia Book and Video Companion

If you liked The Weightlifting Encyclopedia and want to get a copy of the original 1998 printed version (does not contain the preface to the 2025 edition and revised rules Appendix you’ve been reading at the Weightlifting.Org website). You can purchase it at weightliftingWorkshop.com/shop/.

If you liked the book, you may like the book’s Video Companion. Three hours in length, the video is a perfect companion to the book, illustrating many of the weightlifting techniques that are explained in the book. It also demonstrates virtually all of the assistance exercises described in the book (such as squats and power cleans), shows you how to use most weightlifting equipment, illustrates the steps that can be employed to learn proper lifting techniques as described in the book and shows how the technical rules of the sport were applied as of 1999 (these rules haven’t changed much since).

For a more complete description of the book and video, please visit our Web-site: www.weightliftingworshop.com/shop/. Ordering information on our videos and books follows.
