Introduction to A De-Masculinization of Strength, Andrew Charniga, Sportivnypress.com A De-Masculinization of Strength is one of a kind in – depth analysis of the evolution of the elite female weightlifter. Beginning with progress of the female world records relative to those of the men since the introduction of world weightlifting championships for women in 1987; social, physiological and psychological factors involved in the achievements are covered. Considerable incite is offered into the how and why female lifters have overcome social – psychological barriers to achieve high results in male dominated realm of strength. “The psychotropic quality of aggressiveness is a natural peculiarity of the male weightlifter in response to the ascending weight of the barbell.” “Sport scientists Medvedyev (RUS) {1999} and CAO (CHN) {1993} both believe the female weightlifter’s ability to accommodate this massive training load is because the female organism has low levels of testosterone.” “It is more common knowledge than common application that exercises requiring high power necessitate performance against a backdrop of overall relaxation”. “…the male weightlifter is not as capable of performing a complex speed – strength skill exercise like the clean and jerk as efficiently as the female weightlifter; due to the male’s reliance on pyramiding levels of aggressiveness to perform this exercise.” “The psychotropic quality of aggressiveness is a natural peculiarity o the male weightlifter in response to the ascending weight of the barbell.” “Relaxed straining would seem to be an oxymoron.” “The East German sports science authorities decided “to administer testosterone as well as dihydrotestosterone by nasal spray, especially in those events in which the psychotropic effects of testosterone, such as increased aggressiveness, are considered important, as well as to evade doping tests.” (Franke, Berendonk, 1997). “… extensive observations over a period of many years, many top female lifters are able to perform the jerk from the chest even after a very fatiguing clean, precisely because they lack this quality of aggressiveness, i.e., the overzealous, impulsiveness which inhibits the ability to switch effectively from a simpler power movement in order to physically and psychologically re – gather.”

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.

Injury Susceptibility in Sport consists of a series of essays examining the injury epidemic in American sports. Beginning with “Its all connected” and “Its all connected: Part II myths about injury susceptibility of female athletes are debunked leading up to the next eight essays covering the proliferation Achilles tendon ruptures in the NFL and NBA and various other lower extremities. A unique and radical method/theory of “reverse engineering” is proposed beginning in Part III, to determine etiology of injury susceptibility in American sport. Root causes of many lower extremity injuries emanate from strength and conditioning methodology, athletic trainers (taping & bracing of joints) physical therapists, doctors and assorted medicaments: “It should be emphasized such a simple assertion that strength and conditioning exercise techniques can predispose one to injury; must be inclusive the influences of the medical community, the academic community, the athletic training and physical therapy professions exert in the training room and on the athletic field.” “Inhibiting or otherwise tampering with this natural, reactive protective mechanism can create conditions, for a probable outcome; where taped feet, ankles and knees and/or otherwise trained to restrict range of motion, suffer disproportionate injury rates in sports with less stress on the joints than a maximum strain sport like weightlifting.” The final two essays “Why Safe is Unsafe” and injuries in the NBA are further corroboration of the correctness of the “Reverse Engineering” theory presented in the previous six essays. Several of the essays in this section have been published in the Science journal of the European Weightlifting Federation (www.ewf.com).

Weightlifting Training and Biomechanics covers a gamut of training and technique from the perspective of Soviet era sport science to modern radical, departures in theory of biomechanics: “Can There Be Such A Thing As An Asian Pull”; “Equilibrium in Weightlifting”; “The Foot, the Ankle Joint and Asian Pull”. “Asian pull’ technique is in all probability an effort to circumvent gravity by finding the path of least resistance for the body’s movements, which means these movements need not be designed to raise body center of mass as high as possible (as in the Russian pull) before squatting under the barbell. “The Asian pull technique is antithetical to Russian protocols which stipulate the lifter remain flat - footed as trunk and thighs straighten in unison during the explosion phase (see figure 3). Much of the explosion phase of the Asian pull is carried out with shoulder joints behind the vertical line of the bar with heels raised as legs straighten.” “Peculiarities of balance, equilibrium and stability are not unique to weightlifting. In point of fact they can even be considered 'normal aberrations' in athletics; given the extraordinary complexity of the human body's movement possibilities. Furthermore, the high incidence of injuries in American sport can be traced to a catastrophic outcome of strength and conditioning training, therapeutics and the like; where an athlete's movements are choreographed to conform to rigid, arbitrarily conceived limitations; especially linear (Charniga, 2015 - 2017). Five articles have appeared in the EWF Science journal with another two awaiting publication.

Over the last two decades, fatness has become the focus of ubiquitous negative rhetoric, in the USA and beyond, presented under the cover of the medicalized ''war against the obesity epidemic''. In Fat on Film, Barbara Plotz provides a critical analysis of the cinematic representation of fatness during this timeframe, specifically in contemporary Hollywood cinema, with an emphasis on the intersection of gender, race and fatness. The analysis is based on around 50 films released since 2000 and includes examples such as Transformers (2007), Precious (2009), Kung Fu Panda (2008), Paul Blart (2009) and Pitch Perfect (2012).Plotz maps the common cinematic tropes of fatness and also shows how commonplace notions of fatness that are part of the current ''obesity epidemic'' discourse are reflected in these tropes. In this original study, Plotz brings critical attention to the politics of fat representation, a topic that has so far received little attention within film and cinema studies.

Introduction to Weightlifting Training and Technique I.P. Zhekov and various authors This book consists of translations of selected sections of two books: Ilya Zhekov’s The Biomechanics of the Weightlifting Exercises and Junior Weighlfiting by L.S. Dvorkin. European coaches and sport scientist have justifiably referred to Zhekov’s book as “god’s book of weightlifting”. Zkekov’s book incorporates unique perspectives from actual practice, biomechanics and even engineering concepts. In fact Zhekov left weightlifting later in his career to work for the Russian space agency, i.e., a seamless transfer from weightlifting biomechanics to rocket science. The rest o the book consists of various articles about weightlifting biomechanics, flexibility from R.A. Roman, A. Lukhashev, R.P. Moroz and others. “A correct execution of the movement is performed when there is no full extension of the knees, nor a significant rise onto the toes. The squat under begins when the athlete has straightened his knees to an angle of 165 - 170° and has only begun to rise onto the toes.” “A rational and consequently economical movement should begin with as great as speed as possible from the very beginning. (I.P. Zhekov, 1972) …”the weightlifter as a self – tuning system is confronted with the always present task to find such a movement structure which conforms to the required laws of physiology and will produce the maximum motor - effect. “the skill to execute the squat under in the presence of a slower barbell speed is also indicative of better technique; It is namely this skill that is important for lifting maximum weights”. I.P. Zhekov, 1976 “The feet, like the spine, are the support and “springing” apparatus of man. The arch permits the feet to become a “spring” . I.P. Zhekov, 1976

Age and aging are pressing social-political issues. Yet, philosophers still have not paid sufficient attention to one of the major explorations of this topic, Simone de Beauvoir’s seminal work The Coming of Age (1970). For much too long, it has been overshadowed by her other groundbreaking work, The Second Sex (1949). Now, for the first time, this volume focuses on Beauvoir's essay on old age and critically explores its significance from a phenomenological and feminist perspective. International Beauvoir scholars and renowned feminist phenomenologists from Europe and North America offer a unique look at one of the 20th century’s most outstanding existential-philosophical studies on age and aging. Thematically, the articles and short comments collected in this volume cover three main issues which are crucial with respect to an investigation of Beauvoir's study on age: gender, ethics, and time. The volume essentially contributes to Beauvoir studies, aging studies, cultural and gender studies, feminist theory, phenomenology, and existential philosophy.

The indisputable fact of Japan's rapidly aging population has been known for some time. But beyond statistics and implications for the future, we do not know much about the actual aging process. Senior citizens and their varied experiences have, for the most part, been obscured by stereotypes. This fascinating new collection of research on the elderly works to put a human face on aging by considering multiple dimensions of the aging experience in Japan. Faces of Aging foregrounds a spectrum of elder-centered issues—social activity, caregiving, generational bias, suicide, sexuality, and communication with medical professionals, to name a few—from the perspective of those who are living them. The volume's diverse contributors represent the fields of sociology, anthropology, medicine, nursing, gerontology, psychology, film studies, gender studies, communication, and linguistics, offering a diverse selection of qualitative studies of aging to researchers across the social sciences.

The annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russia’s support for military insurgency in eastern Ukraine undermined two decades of cooperation between Russia and the EU leaving both sides in a situation of reciprocal economic sanctions and political alienation. What is left of previous positive experiences and mutually beneficial interactions between the two parties? And, what new communication practices and strategies might Russia and Europe use? Previously coherent and institutionalized spaces of communication and dialogue between Moscow and Brussels have fragmented into relations that, while certainly not cooperative, are also not necessarily adversarial. Exploring these spaces, contributors consider how this indeterminacy makes cooperation problematic, though not impossible, and examine the shrunken, yet still existent, expanse of interaction between Russia and the EU. Analysing to what extent Russian foreign policy philosophy is compatible with European ideas of democracy, and whether Russia might pragmatically profit from the liberal democratic order, the volume also focuses on the practical implementation of these discourses and conceptualizations as policy instruments. This book is an important resource for researchers in Russian and Soviet Politics, Eastern European Politics and the policy, politics and expansion of the European Union.
