WEIGHTLIFTING

 

In 1920, weightlifting returned to the Olympics.

In Olympic weightlifting the athlete attempts a maximum-weight

single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates.

 

The two competition lifts are the Snatch and Clean and Jerk.

The weightlifter receives three attempts in each, and the combined total of the highest’s two successful lifts determines the overall result within a bodyweight category.  

Bodyweight categories are different for men and women.

 

Weightlifting tests aspects of human ballistic limits (explosive strength).

The Lifts are executed faster – with more mobility and greater range of motion during

their execution – than other strength movements.  Properly executed Snatch and the

Clean and Jerk are both dynamic and explosive while appearing graceful, especially

when viewed from a recording at a slow speed.
