About Weightlifting in Australia
Olympic weightlifting involves two lifts — the snatch and the clean and jerk — in which athletes lift a barbell from the floor to overhead in a single explosive movement. It is a highly technical strength sport that develops power, speed, and coordination to an extraordinary degree.
Getting Started
Weightlifting Australia affiliated clubs run beginner programs that focus on technique development before loading is increased. Working with a qualified coach is strongly recommended. The sport is open to all ages and body weights, with separate competition categories for men and women.
