Preparing for Lifting Performance:: Plan. Do. Review.

by Mark Oxer

There is a lot of information out there about lifting and training, especially with the increase of online articles, there is even more information available now than ever before. However, I have not seen much written about the “soft skills” related to training (Bodybuilding, CrossFit, Powerlifting, Strongman, Weightlifting). This book is intended to go beyond what has been done I intend this book to be a guide to improving one’s coaching and lifting performance. I would like to think that it will become more of a reference piece rather than something that you read once and put on the shelf.

This book is not a book about competition rules, statistics, or how to perform specific lifts but rather I want this book to change the way you think about; coaching, training, and competing. By saying that, I am not suggesting that what I present is the only way to improve one’s performance, but I want you to learn the intricacies of training, and show you how to use methods implemented by the top athletes and coaches in the world. There is more than one way to coach and train, and I want you to learn how to think through a situation and develop your own strategy to a successful performance. I truly believe that whatever level of coaching or training you are currently at when you are reading this, you will learn additional skills by reading this book and improve your; coaching, training and competition performance(s).
