Who is a "weightlifter"?
A weightlifter is a person who competes in weightlifting, a sport where athletes lift heavy weights. Weightlifters train to build strength, power, and technique to lift as much weight as possible in a controlled manner. The sport requires not only physical strength but also proper form to prevent injury. Weightlifters often train with barbells, gradually increasing the amount of weight they lift in order to improve their performance. They may compete in events where they aim to lift the maximum weight in their weight class.
