{"product_id":"platos-barbell-brandon-council-9798870030241","title":"Plato's Barbell","description":"In Plato's Barbell we explore what ancient philosophers from Plato and Socrates to Aristotle, Epictetus, Zeno, and Ovid may have to teach us about approaching the sport of weightlifting. We take Aristotle's lessons on sophistry and apply them to our hunt for the perfect coach. Epictetus teaches us how to handle both injury and triumph. And we learn what Zeno's Paradox might teach us about approaching every snatch, clean and jerk, and back squat as the only lift that has ever and will ever matter. Plato's Barbell does not offer bar path analysis, optimal training tempos, or set and rep schemes. There is no detailed discussion of the value of not cutting the third pull short. It offers much more than that. It offers a way of thinking about the sport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandon Council,Breyen Canfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798870030241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Brandon Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874388422911,"sku":"9798870030241","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/platos-barbell-brandon-council-9798870030241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
