Many people look for an activity that will better them in every way possible; weightlifting is the greatest activity in the world for such goals! Weightlifting yields so many benefits and it can improve the quality of life for anyone who can do it. Weightlifting is one of the activities that, in conjunction with other exercise and proper diet, will improve overall health, physical performance, and mentality.

Lifting weights strengthens bones and tendons. It helps increase muscle volume and muscle conditioning. It allows an athlete to perform with a higher level of strength and speed. “Physically, athletes whom weight train and are in good condition will also be able to recover faster if and when an injury occurs. I see this in our setting and it is a proven fact” (Asing Interview).

Many subcultures have derived since the beginning of time. They could be classified through religion, culture, style, outlook on life and many other aspects. The one subculture that has grown tremendously through out time is a very hard one to notice as a subculture opposed to a sport. Its said that bodybuilding started way back in the times of great philosophers like Plato who believed that a man should strive for a balance between mind and body and that there should be harmony between the two. Also Plato believed with out a well-conditioned body the mind would ultimately suffer. Taken into aspect obviously someone perused the great words of a historic

Being an athlete I know the struggles of strength and conditioning. Many athletes are pushed in the weight room and during conditioning, however are they being taught the right way? Effective weight training depends on proper technique. Many coaches try to go off of what they know and force their athletes to lift weights. This improper way of lifting often causes injury. The athlete should also lift the proper amount of weights. Athletes today need to know the right way to lift weights. This will allow them to actually gain muscle, power and speed instead of just being sore. There are many factors in weight lifting which include diet, frequency, intensity, and specification. All of these factors play a vital role in developing muscle.

The philosophy I carry for my studies in athletic training incorporates a few fundamental areas, which I believe are of importance to the athletic training program and will continue on into the labor force after my education has been completed. These elements include: the profession itself, to include advocating for patients and professional causes related to athletic training. The functional aspects of my educational path. A continued honorable conduct while working with clients as well as outside in the general public, and a professional rapport with not only athletes, but my colleagues as well. I incorporate these several areas in my professional philosophy because, I understand they embody points of view which aid in developing the manner in which I carry myself and the behavior I present to the community.

There is a serious debate in the track and field community as to whether there is more benefit, namely increased distances, to be gained in the throwing events from improvements in technique versus improvements in strength. While this debate focuses primarily on the shot put and discus events, the events studied in this research, it is equally true for all the throwing events. As a significant part of the throwing community, the United States is thought of as a nation that focuses too much on strength, at the expense of technique.

China has been known for their medal winning athletes and Olympic success throughout history. This large communistic country carries with it a reputation of being harsh on its athletes and it begs the question, what exactly have they done to become one of the most athletically successful countries in the world and just how far will they go? “China’s methods would not be allowed elsewhere”(11) says British athlete, Joanna Parker. Although they often take home the gold at the Olympics, they have a very Soviet style sports system which involves harsh training where children are recruited at early ages and taken from their homes. Despite China’s success, the sports system has a negative impact on the athletes’ lives before, during and after

The weights to be lifted should always be gradual, and one should not attempt to light heavy weights without perfecting on the less heavy

There are two main class levers being used during the lift. The 3rd Class lever is being used towards the lower part of the back since the athlete is bending over. The fulcrum is the lower part of the back, while the MAF is the shoulder area and the MRF is the barbell itself. The barbell is causing resistance in the opposite direction of the lift. Another lever that is being used is the 1st Class lever. This lever is being used twice in this lift. The first time is in the arms, the elbows are the fulcrum while the shoulder areas are the MAF and the barbell is the MRF. This structure also applies in the legs. The knees are

Weight lifting can always be beneficial for most athletes because it builds muscles strength and endurance but these types of athletes spend majority of their training time outside of the weight room. His training techniques consist of exercises in the water and on dry land which is based around endurance so he doesn't tired out as quickly or in the middle of a competition. His exercises consist of long distance swimming which is around 50 miles per week. His weight training mainly consist of body weight movements and high reps for endurance. Usain Bolt is a Jamacian sprinter and is recoreded as the fastest man in the world with a top speed of 27.79 mph. His training program consist of quick, high speed sprints, and long distance running for his enduranced speed. His lifting techniques consist of mostly body weight and quick and explosive exercises such as bunny hops, box jumps, core exercises, and some resistance exercises. Bolt and Phelps training programs are different but somewhat similar do to the fact that they are training for similar purposes and that is to be the fastest ones in the

Sports are part of our lives and inspire a lot of person all around the word to become a champion. I think almost every competitive athlete aspires to complete at the Olympic Games one day and to hope to accomplish awesome performances. Few are those who reach this level and make it a living but we all know that it is possible. Some people say that you can only be an Olympic champion if you have a lot of talent but I don’t believe in this vision. I think you need way more than talent to succeed and that the key to success is hard work, passion, determination and confidence. I this text I will talk about Canadian’s performances and show why we should be proud of our athletes and I will also talk about the emplacement of the games in Rio.

In any sport, many things are needed to achieve. The sport that asks a person to literally go beyond what they can do is powerlifting. To do this, a person has to know the sport called powerlifting. He or she must learn to adapt a new way of physical and mental training, breathing, and way of life. Since the first professional competition in 1964, powerlifting has shown great feats of strength, power, legends and dreams that have changed, "How strong are you," actually implies (Hatfield 5).

Weight training originated in the Egyptian-Greek era. Since war was common in those days, weight training was a tool to gain muscle and stamina. It wasn’t until the early 1900’s did a man named Eugene Sandow change the way people viewed bodybuilding. In those days, weightlifters were called “strongmen”. These “strongmen” entertained people with their displays of great strengths by lifting animals and pulling carts. Many “strongmen” were overweight with meaty limbs, in which today’s society would view as “overweight”. It wasn’t until Sandow came along that the concept of weightlifting changed. Sandow was able to display great acts of strength, but unlike the “strongmen”, had an appealing physique to the public. His physique drew people in by the masses. People became intrigued with weightlifting and many researchers began to study the sport. Through their research, they

A study by Brace-Govan (2004), focused on external factors that attempted to contain the interest and access to weightlifting as well as epiphanic moments during interview sessions. The article concluded that the sense of achievements through weightlifting was crucial to their identity. There were social controls outside the gym where women were judged upon because they were muscular however, it enables them to challenge the idea and prove that they can be strong too instead of conforming to the norms.
