When you tell people you do weightlifting, you may be asked “so what do you bench?”.

Weightlifting is a sport involving the snatch and the clean and jerk. Weightlifters often train together in clubs and compete as individuals.

Weight lifting is a term used commonly for any type of training involving weights. This is a common training style in gyms across the UK and involves lots of types of different lifts and equipment, such as free weights, cable machines, plate loaded machines and more.

Everyone will be familiar with a least one weight training exercise, whether it’s the Squat, Deadlift, Bench Press, Dumbbell Curl or Abdominal Crunch. Many of these exercises form key movements required in the Olympic and Paralympic lifts, and much like these disciplines, Weight Training relies on the correct execution of the exercise, otherwise known as ‘form’. Incorrectly performing these exercises can result in injury or failure to get the desired results because the targeted muscle group is not challenged sufficiently.

The boom in the health and fitness industry means there is now a plethora of training advice available at your fingertips, however, we strongly advise that you do your research. It’s incredibly important that the advice you take is from a trusted source, and you also need to ensure that it aligns with your level of experience in weightlifting or training. Lifting safely and efficiently should be your number one priority.
