"Although I had been doing an uninformed version of the 'clean' since about the age of 16 as an amateur weightlifter, it was not until the age of 57 that I discovered a chapter from Harvey Newton's Explosive Lifting for Sports online having to do with cleaning. This led eventually to the first weightlifting instruction in my life from Harvey. Although I was skeptical that at my age any improvement was realistic, to my astonishment I discovered through rigorous application of the techniques set out in Newton's eBook, that the amount of weight I could clean increased, even though I was getting older. At 61, I have been able to surpass my personal clean record at the age of 51 because of the principles so clearly and simply explained in this eBook. I want to encourage all aspiring weightlifters, especially seniors, not to assume that it is too late to learn how to increase power and to clean properly, safely. Harvey Newton's eBook is the place to begin again."

Dartfish TVMuscle & Fitness Features Clip Showcasing Harvey’s Dartfish Channel
The official website for Muscle & Fitness recently featured a clip that showcases Harvey Newton’s use of Dartfish to analyze weightlifting technique. Victor Bergonzoli, Dartfish CEO and long-time colleague of Harvey Newton, is featured at this year’s NSCA tradeshow discussing the highlights of Dartfish technology for anyone lifting weights that is interested in proper technique. “I was pleased that Victor chose my Weightlifting: Beyond the Basics as the demo for Muscle & Fitness,” said Coach Newton. “We know the average bodybuilder is not interested in learning snatch technique, but the demonstration clearly shows the superiority of Dartfish for analysis and feedback of weight training, regardless of the exercise.”
