CCJ, whered you learn everything

Im impressed with how much you know about athletic training and oly lifting.

Where did you learn it? Do you have any books, websites, or discussion boards you could reccomend. I dont mind doing ALOT of reading.

I just absorbed a lot of stuff in the time I have been training, I actively look for new info all the time. If I'm not training or working then I'm surfing for info etc. I'm a bit of "mad scientist" geeky type, annoys the girlfriend sometimes

I do have some books but not that many, mostly heavy duty exercise science books - Supertraining, Science and Practise of strength training etc. These are degree level reference books it seems

Also Weightlifting book by Dreschler.

I'm hoping to add Training of the Weightlifter by RA Roman. Most of these books are available from elitefts.com

Websites, all the usual suspects, elitefts, tmag etc
nothing unusual, just that I pay attention to detail
I know bits and pieces but really not that much, just absorb in from month to month, and I guess it sorta piles up in my memory bank

Im down with degree level stuff, what are some of the titles of the easier and more fundemental ones.

thanks again

I have nothing fundamental here

Perhaps CT's Little Black Books of Secrets? You can get that from the Tmag shop

I misread your question, anyway Science and Practise of strength training is somewhat easier to understand. CT's Black Book of Secrets is easier still. It pretty much read like his articles on Tmag


Nah My knowledge is stuff I pick up here and there - nothing too impressive about that
