This book consolidates Carl Miller's extensive knowledge gained
while pursuing his life's work in Olympic-style weightlifting.
There are scientific principles behind Olympic-style weightlifting,
and Miller's 50 years of lifting, researching and coaching provide
valuable insight into the process of Olympic lifting. Whether you
are an advanced lifter or a novice, Miller equips you with the
tools to become a champion, even if it's in your own mind. For
those lifters with the desire to compete, Carl's book will inspire
you to immerse your body and mind in the intricacies required to be
a winner. Miller's success as a young weightlifter led him to a
long and unique career coaching weightlifting, fitness and
nutrition to elite athletes in the 1960s and 1970s, and later he
spread his message about the benefits of weight training to a wider
audience. As Coaching Coordinator for the U.S. Olympic
weightlifting team, Miller put into practice many methods and
techniques he gleaned from studying successful international
lifting programs. The U.S. Olympic weightlifting team under head
coach Tommy Kono won a record number of Olympic medals using
assistant Olympic coach Carl Miller's coaching system. He gathered
the best lifters in the country, had the best coaches in the sport,
and introduced new lifting techniques to elevate the U.S. lifters
to contenders. Carl Miller has dedicated himself to analyzing and
tweaking the techniques of Olympic lifting. During the 1970s, in
addition to his duties with the Olympic team, he was a National
coach, World coach, elementary school teacher and vice principal.
As a teacher and vice principal Miller developed physical
conditioning programs for the kids in his school. During his 30
years, and still counting, as founder and co-owner of Carl &
Sandra's Physical Conditioning Center, lifters seek out Carl, his
son Shane and staff for Olympic-style training. Carl & Sandra's
Conditioning Center stands apart from other gyms because Carl
Miller's philosophy revolved around the benefits of weight training
long before it became popular. He weaves the hundreds of tiny
components of Olympic-style weightlifting into beneficial fitness
programs for gym members with a wide variety of profiles, and at
the same time, his Conditioning Center trains a team of nationally
competitive masters Olympic weightlifters. "The Sport of
Olympic-Style Weightlifting" provides the athlete with a
comprehensive review of the critical elements that mold a champion.
Winning isn't simply about lifting technique, eating the right food
or visualizing lifts. You will discover the importance of body
levers and the nuances of adjusting for your own unique body
measurements, you will learn the finer points of planning the
different phases of your training, you will be enthralled with the
diverse programs available to incorporate in your routines, and you
will grasp how your mind contributes to your accomplishments at
critical points along your trajectory.
