Extractions: * IWF / EWF / Nat. Federations Home Introduction in Weightlifting Weightlifting - Powerlifting - Bodybuilding It is important to make a clear distinction between the three related sports branches that often get mixed up: weightlifting, bodybuilding and powerlifting. All three competition sports are based on weight training but there are also fundamental differences. What counts in " body-building " is the athlete's appearance, or as de term explains itself: how well is the body builded. So there is only real use from weights in the training sessions, while on the competition itself only the result of this weight-training on the body is displayed. Weightlifting and powerlifting are much closer to each other; in both strength sports the aim is to lift as much as possible while the looks of the athlete's body are of no importance. In power-lifting there are three movements at which the "pure" strength from the participants is tested. With the first movement- the

Extractions: March 9, 2000 Suzanne Leathers, RN, can carry her weight at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Ga., but that isnt where the real weightlifting begins. Leathers can hang with the best of them in the clean-and-jerk and the snatch, forms of competitive weightlifting that have propelled her to visions of Olympic success. Leathers, who has been lifting weights for seven years, trains rigorously for three hours a day during the week, then works two 12-hour shifts on weekends as an intensive care nurse on the ICU med/surg trauma team at Memorial Health. She says the hospital has been great in allowing her to pursue her dreams, which may come true this month. For the first time in Olympic history, female weightlifting will be featured as an event and Leathers, ranked seventh in the nation in the 75-kg (165-pound) weight class, has a good shot at being one of four weightlifters who will be chosen to compete in Sydney, Australia, this summer.

What Is Olympic The sport of olympicstyle weightlifting is one of the world s most The best superheavyweight weightlifters in history have lifted nearly 500 lb. http://www.wlinfo.com/what_is_olympic.htm
Extractions: What Is Olympic-Style Weightlifting All About? The sport of Olympic-style "Weightlifting" is one of the world's most misunderstood and under-appreciated sports. Part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 (with a women's event having been added in 2000), Weightlifting is the only Olympic sport in which heavy weights are used. The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) and International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognize only two weightlifting events, which must be done in all competitions in the following order: a) the two hands snatch (snatch), and b) the two hands clean and jerk (C&J). The overall winner of any weightlifting competition is the athlete who lifts the highest amount of weight in the snatch and C&J (i.e., the heaviest weights successfully lifted in each event are combined) . This combined score is called the "Total." While awards are given at major competitions for each event as well as the Total, recognition in the sport of weightlifting goes to the athlete who lifts the greatest total weight in competition. When a weightlifting aficionado speaks of the "World Champion" in weightlifting, he or she is generally speaking about the winner in the Total. In the snatch , the bar is pulled in one explosive motion from the floor to full arm's length overhead. In order to make the lift easier to perform, athletes typically bend their legs quickly while the bar is rising in order to catch the bar at arm's length. The combined attributes of great strength and blinding speed are needed to accomplish this challenging event effectively. The best lifters in the world (in the lighter weight classes can lift as much as 2.5 times their bodyweight in the Snatch). The best superheavyweight weightlifters in history have lifted nearly 500 lb./227.5 kg. in this lift.
Mel Siff: History Of Strength Training The path to strength training science is synonymous with the history of many olympic weightlifting became, and still is, a rarity in schools in the West http://www.dolfzine.com/page515.htm
Extractions: Previous Page Home Page Table of Contents Next Page Strength training has always been synonymous with the so-called "Iron Game," a broad generic term that includes the competitive lifting of heavy objects by "strongmen/women" during the last century or so. Feats of lifting strength, however, have appeared throughout the history of most nations, but it has only been in very recent times that training to produce strength has become a scientific discipline. Mel C Siff Ph.D. This science did not arise overnight, but is the culminating point of thousands of years of trial-and-error methods of training. The earliest reference to formal strength training occurs in Chinese texts dating as far back as when emperors made their subjects exercise daily (Webster, 1976) . During the Chou dynasty potential soldiers had to pass weight-lifting tests before being allowed to enter the armed forces. Editor's Note: Weight-lifting in the first part of this article refers to the actual lifting of various objects, or weights, not "weightlifting," which is the proper term for what many people think of as Olympic lifting.

Hellenic Weightlifting Federation weightlifting has been included in the program of every olympic Games since In the history of weightlifting, Levi Laurens from England was the first http://www.weightlifting.gr/English/frames/hist3.htm
Extractions: In St Louis (1904), Greek weightlifting obtained its first gold medal with Periklis Kakoussis of Panellinios GS. The Greek athlete lifted 111,70kg in two-hand lift, overcoming American Oscar Osthoff who took second place with 84,73kg. Born in 1879, Periklis Kakoussis, after his victory, remained in United States. Although he had many propositions to join American athletic clubs, he chose not to give up Panellinios. He came back to Greece in 1906 to compete at Mid-Olympics, where he took 6 th place. Dimitris Tofalos made his debut in 1906. He won the gold medal in two-hand lift after a tough battle with Austrian Josef Steinbach. Both athletes lifted 136kg, and there had to be an additional round to determine the winner. Finally, Tofalos prevailed with 142,8kg. Born in 1877, Tofalos moved to the United States right after the games, where he became a professional wrestler. Founding member of greek-american club Hermes, he trained the legendary Greek wrestler Jim Londos. Every year the Greek Weightlifting Federation holds an international tournament dedicated to Dimitris Tofalos and Periklis Kakoussis. Weightlifting has been included in the program of every Olympic Games since 1920. Nevertheless, Greek weightlifters did not manage to achieve any distinction. Balkan and World wars did not allow the sport to develop properly; it was practically impossible for Greek athletes to compete on international level. As a result, weightlifters from France, USA, Egypt, Germany, USSR and Bulgaria dominated.
