Weightlifting is the sport that involves various competitors making attempt to lift heavy weights mounted on steel bars commonly known as barbells. Lifting up of the barbells is a combination of power, flexibility, and technique, mental and physical strength. There are basically two different weightlifting events-firstly "the snatch", in which the competitors have to lift the barbell over their heads in one continuous movement, secondly "the clean and jerk" where competitors first "clean" the barbell from the floor to an intermediate position, holding the bar in a front squat, then standing up in the concentric portion of the front squat. Finally "jerking" the barbell to a position above their head. Apart from the above explained events you can also choose weight lifting as a workout to build up the muscles for really getting an aesthetic physique.
