"The present day sport of weightlifting requires not only great strength but also exceptional power, speed of movement, and flexibility" (Stone 2). Weightlifting can positively impact many aspects of life such as, sports, recovery and mobility.

"Elite male weightlifters' somatotype and physical characteristics are somewhat similar to those of wrestlers and throwers in track and field" (Stone 3). The way a person looks can be heavily influenced by overall weightlifting.

"Current involvement in sports and prior participation in activities that develop coordination, agility, and flexibility. For example, activities such as gymnastics can be excellent prerequisites to participation in weightlifting" (Stone 4). Being involved in sports can be great for a person because it prepares you and develop stamina, strength and agility which can in support strength training exercises in future.

"weightlifting developmental fitness for children would include considerable training dealing with general body strengthening (e.g., gymnastics, tumbling); endurance factors; and enhancing cardio respiratory ability, mobility, and flexibility. However, this training should not include a great emphasis on long-term endurance such as distance running" (Stone 4). Lifting more weights can help a person increase strength and doing more repetition will even help them build endurance which everybody needs in their life.

"Over training can be described as an imbalance between training (and other stressors) and recovery. Training too often at high intensities increases the over training potential"(Stone 5). Over training is a serious condition which needs to be considered carefully in order to continue progression.
