Health Guide Plus: Best Weight Lifting Videos

Weightlifting and weight training especially with free weights requires training and instruction for proper technique. Weightlifting with improper techniques can cause many problems from simply not stimulating the targeted muscle groups to serious injury. But not all of us can afford a gym membership or a personal trainer. For them a good set of barbells and a quality instructional video is all they need.

There are dozens and dozens of good quality weightlifting videos out there. Again as in any discussion in weightlifting, you must first clearly identify your goals, what is it you are trying to accomplish? What ever it may be from packing on the muscle for competition bodybuilding, to building lean muscle mass for definition and overall health, there is an instructional video made by a well-known fitness professional that can teach you what you need.

Just search Amazon or eBay and you will get 100’s of results. There are Weightlifting for Seniors videos, Weightlifting for Woman, Weightlifting for Kids, and even though I do not particularly recommend this practice for the amateur lifter, even videos of both Men and Woman Weightlifting in the nude.

Here are some of the best in no particular order.

• See one of the greats on Kevin Leverone’s Maryland Muscle Machine Body Building Video. Kevin is a former Mr. Olympia and you can see his marvelous form and technique on this video. Kevin’s is known for his workouts with extremely heavy weights, and on this video you will be amazed as he does 1500 pound leg presses and 100 lb dumbbell single arm curls.
• On the Other end of the spectrum is The Complete Weight Training Series by Joyce Vedral. Designed for Women Fitness Guru and NY Times best selling
author Joyce Vedral takes you through fat burning and cellulite busting workouts with weights. A series of videos that introduces women to weightlifting and keeps them going through a series of progressions that will build muscle, burn fat and improve bone density.
• One of the most definitive and respected body building videos is put out by Iron Man Magazine. It is called Critical Mass Body Building for the Beginner and Intermediate, and it details the new sensation that is taking the bodybuilding world by storm, Flexion. It explains in detail the theory behind Flexion, and how to use these techniques to build more muscle, bigger and faster without the use of steroids.

If you are interested in not only videos for instructional purposes but would like to see a great behind the scenes look at the Mr. Olympia competition, current Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler has a great video out. Its called One Step Closer, and it is a 6 hour documentary that starts 4 weeks prior to the 2005 competition and take you through Jay’s training, pre-judging and victorious finale.

And if you have looked at a completely ripped body builder and said – “I cant do that” or “I can never look like that” – then you must see Freak of Training – The Adam Archuleta Story. Adam was a scrawny kid determined to play for the NFL – a small walk on player in college, against all odds he got into a weightlifting and strength training routine that increased his speed, strength and stamina that made him a First Round Draft Pick!
