Olympic Lifting is a Privilege

NOT A RIGHT! Because the only thing you’re entitled to is sustaining an injury.

As per the short description provided by the International Weightlifting Federation,

“(Olympic) weightlifting is a perfect demonstration of physical strength, technical skill and concentration combined. Lifters compete individually in a competition that requires physical and mental preparedness and eventually tactical skills.”

Stated again,

“(Olympic) weightlifting is a perfect demonstration of physical strength, technical skill and concentration combined. Lifters compete individually in a competition that requires physical and mental preparedness and eventually tactical skills.”

Therefore, to my friends in the “fitness” industry that utilize these skills to “enhance” general fitness and induce fatigue, I remind you that

Olympic lifting is a privilege and not a right!
