From the survival instinct of primitive people to drag their prey to the precise bursts of modern weightlifters in the Olympic Games, human beings have never stopped pursuing strength. This work spans ancient and modern times, using archaeological evidence and sports physiology data as dual tracks to reveal how weightlifting has evolved from a survival skill to a competitive art. You will travel through the stone carvings of the ancient Egyptian prince's tomb, decode the mechanical truth of the ancient Greek "bull lifting" legend, and finally understand the neuromuscular control mechanism behind each clean and jerk in a modern biomechanics laboratory.
