About Weight LiftingLearn More

Weightlifting is a strength and endurance sport in which athletes attempt to demonstrate their strength and muscular ability by lifting heavy weights. The sport is divided into two main categories: double-lift and single-lift. In a single-lift, the lifter must lift the weight above their head in one movement, while in a double-lift, the weight is first brought to the chest and then lifted above their head in a second movement. This sport requires high concentration, extraordinary physical strength, and specific techniques that are achieved with continuous and consistent training. Weightlifting is not only known as a competitive sport, but is also used as a method to increase strength, endurance, and muscle tone. Many athletes use this sport as a core component of their training program to increase strength and improve performance in other sports.
