Education & Reference Health & Medicine Sport & Recreation
Powerlifting by Bryan Mann and Dan Austin is the go-to illustrated reference for athletes ready to master the squat, bench, and deadlift. This 2012 Human Kinetics trade paperback packs 224 pages of sport-science guidance into a roomy 11"×8.5" format that stays open on the gym floor.
Clean diagrams and step-by-step photos break down anatomy, technique, and program design for young adults and adults alike. Mann and Austin blend coaching wisdom with classroom research, making complex biomechanics feel approachable whether you're chasing your first competition total or sharpening coaching cues.
The book shows gentle shelf love—light cover wear, soft corner creases—but pages are unmarked, binding tight, and it comes from a smoke-free home. A solid, ready-to-lift copy for the next personal record.
