Books and Magaziens – Iron Game History – June 1990

Inch explains in this book the different lifts that were listed as official by the newly organized British Weight Lifters’ Association. He also offers advice on selecting the proper type of barbells. He advocates the use of disc-loading barbells rather than shot-loading barbells. He gives his estimates of the ultimate limits to which future lifting may progress; and, in light of the three quarters of a century which has passed since the publication of the book, the predictions make fascinating reading.
