Weightlifting is a popular Olympic sport enjoyed by men and women worldwide and it’s also used as a training regimen by athletes in other sports. As a sport, it’s a test of strength between competitors. As a training tool, it’s used to build your strength and muscles. Weightlifting was popular in Europe before it reached its way to the US, in the early 1900s. Weightlifters face off against opponents who are in the same body weight category and make two standard lifts. The clean-and-jerk; where the lifter hoists the bar to the shoulders, pauses and then lifts it overhead. The other lift is the snatch, where the lifter squats, then lifts the bar overhead in a single motion. A weightlifter needs a delicate technique and brute strength to be successful. Many weightlifters join clubs as they provide the equipment, however you can purchase weight lifting equipment for home use. The weights may cost a bit, but you don’t really need anything else other than a uniform and shoes and the weights should last for years.
