Weightlifting athletes are grouped according to their weight and must compete with their weight class. The objective of a weightlifter is to gradually increase the weight they lift until they can no longer lift the weight.
Weightlifting training requires patience and perseverance. Athletes must practice for a long time and constantly adjust their training plans.
During the training process, they need to gradually increase their strength and endurance by continuously increasing the load they lift, while paying attention to their bodies and avoiding injuries.
In addition to showing one’s strength in competitive competitions, weightlifting is also widely used in fitness and strength training. Many people choose to lift weights to enhance their physical fitness, shape their figure and increase their metabolic rate.
