5-0 out of 5 stars Real-life experience of an accomplished weightlifting icon.
The book is forwarded by Arthur Drechsler, which fulfills Kono's wish that "Weightlifting never dies, it gets better."The legendry feature of this book lies in its natural flow of thoughts that stems from the personal experience of a renowned weightlifter.

Kono competed and trained on three lifts: Clean and Press, Snatch, and Clean and Jerk. He witnessed the astronomical progress in human strength due to newly developed training routines. In this book, Tommy Kono does not confuse the epidemic commercialism of the fitness industry in America with the real and systematic training that leads to peak human performance.

The book's main theme focuses on: (1) quality of training, (2) standardized weightlifting training program, (3) flexibility, and (4) training for competition. It could be summed up as follows.

Section I: "The ABCs of Olympic Weightlifting", plunges into lower back strength, general conditioning, and nutrition. It discusses the "strong back arch" with habitual emphasis on lumbar arch. It then addresses shoulder and hip and leg flexibility in terms of four exercises for shoulder "loosening" using a wooden stick. It addresses the center of mass and acceleration in relation to the pelvis as the "Seat of Power". Weightlifting power is then exemplified in the essential "Pulls" from the floor to shoulder height. It starts by the describing the hand-grips of various pulls, then addresses the height of the pull for the Clean and the Snatch.


Section II:"The Olympic Lifts", starts with the Snatch lift posturing by David Rigert's arched back, then describes the three phases of the Pull through a case analysis of Ivanchenko's and Urrutia lift technique. The Clean starts with the initial pull through Nassiri's, Alexseev's and Patera's lift technique. It sums up the Clean into two pulls, body stretch, shrug, and bounding out.The Jerk, describes the grip, bar trajectory, and leg motion. It mainly deals with the split jerk.

Section III: "The Training Plan", describes the three phases of conditioning, strengthening, and competing. It discusses the differences between the American trend of expedient training for maximal and quick results versus the European trend of over-training for record breaking purposes. It then delves into the logical sequence of exercising for the high mobility of Olympic weightlifting. It discusses the specifics of weightlifting exercises, reps, sets, load, massing muscles, warm-up, stretch, and quality versus duration of training.

Section IV: "Facts and Fallacies", discusses technical specification of experience gained from practice, double-knee-bend pulls, merits of Power Clean versus Squat Clean, purpose and styles of Squat, lifting repetitions, and flexibility issues.

Section V: "Competition Preparation", describes how to prepare for contest, how the contest progresses, and lists 12 keys and tips for successful competition lifting


Section VI: "My Weightlifting Experiences", details personal experience from first competition, National Championship, Olympic Games, World Championships, and International participation in lifting contests that stretched from 1952 through 1963.

Section VII: "Weightlifting Wisdom", entails 150 snippets that sum up the author's reflection on weightlifting experience that led Tommy Kono attains International fame in such rare sport.


Section VIII: "State of Mind", attempts to convey to the reader real life stories on how others made it to the top. It starts by defining one's true potential. It then details the stories of the Spitz Brothers, Vinci and Faith, Schemansky, the George Brothers, Puleo and Ogata, and Kono & Pride.

Section IX: "Coaches' Notes", details coaching issues such as the One Arm Snatch, Priority Training, the Squat Program, Head and Shoulders, Efficient Lifting, Training Philosophy, and Progress in lifting.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Tommy Kono has won Olympic gold medals, one silver, was eight times world champion, set 26 world records spread over 4 bodyweight classes, was not subsidized, did not have fancy training quarters, coaches, or any of the things of today. How did he do it?How did he beat the world? He knew that lifting is more than muscle power.It's mental power. His first book, Weightlifting, Olympic Style, is a textbook on the Olympic lifts and it covers lifting technique to training programs and contest preparation with examples and stories related to actual performances. This second book, Championship Weightlifting, covers the mental and psychological side of Olympic weightlifting and expounds on the approach to overcome the barriers that hold us back from progressing. Originally intended for coaches and elite lifters, he realized that the mental approach must be nurtured from the very beginning; so after several years of writing, he decided to rewrite some of the previous materials so it will be helpful to beginners as well. In Championship Olympic Weightlifting, 50% is mental, 30% technique and 20% power. Most everyone has this in the reverse order of importance and spend too many hours in hard physical training but hardly any time in grooming his or her mind for the sport. This second book emphasizes how important the mental aspect has on Olympic weightlifting. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This book is aimed at educating and preparing children ages 6 to 12 in the basics of Olympic Weightlifting and Strength Training. The book familiarizes teachers, parents, and kids with the fundamentals of lifting and resistance training. The book starts by explaining how muscles work by burning energy and moving the nutrients around the body organs. Young children need to be educated on the process of transport of energy from food to cells allover the body. They then will understand how strength training helps the body grow and stay healthy and fit.
Resistance exercise is defined as the effort to stimulate muscles to grow and adapt to lifting. The strong muscles stimulate the bones to deposit minerals and remain strong. Strong muscles and bones help the individual to maintain high level of health and fitness. The growth process involves the development of the mental and neural functions, which help the person solve complex problems and maintain high coordination and balance.
Weightlifting is introduced by warming up without weights. Lifting light plates follows the warm up as an intermediary transition to serious lifting. The reader is introduced the equipments and terminology of weightlifting that should assist him/her to decipher the arcane language of strength training.
The book's main theme evolves on how to offer kids the option of becoming Olympic Weightlifters when they are young enough to accomplish such extraordinary goal. The book's main tools are the simplicity and rigorousness of exercising for BIG IDEAS. Unless the workout out plan simple and logical, it would not lead to the life-long commitment to exercise, health, and fitness.The authors are not interested in making kids get big or strong without intellectual accomplishments. Rather, the authors advocate the role of managing and executing exercise planning as a life-long endeavor of positive accomplishments and enriching kid's life.
