Overview

The Female in Weightlifting features a series of essays about the peculiarities of female weightlifters. Some history and the challenges of the participation of females in weightlifting "De- masculinization of strength";
"How the female weightlifter outgrew the lady bar" are presented. Unique stereotype debunking essays about how females 'express' strength' "Expression of Strength in Weightlifting"; prepare for competition attempts: "Comparison of Warm Up Protocols of High Class Male and Female Weightlifters".

"Discrete alterations in facial expression, in all probability, mirror the female lifter's intrinsic abilities to optimize tension of muscles, i.e., to eliminate unnecessary tension for effective rapid switching the disposition of the body during the weightlifting exercises."

"The 'sleeping' female weightlifter receiving the full weight of the barbell in the low squat in figure 5 is a unique 'expression' of muscular strain, i.e., an ambiguity of nature."

"The point here is not point a finger, but to make the point: the strength of today's women lifters is beyond the equipment, originally designed for a "weaker sex", whatever that is."

An original and unique theory of the female weightlifter's low injury susceptibility is presented: "Shouldn't female weightlifters be injury prone".

... the ability to react quickly, in many respects, faster than males, to unanticipated circumstances, loss of balance, falling and so forth, with very rapid reflexive release of muscle tension to dissipate and/or otherwise re - distribute mechanical energy."

Three essays of this book have appeared in the EWF Science journal with another awaiting publication.
