Publisher's Summary
Lifting heavy objects is nothing new; stone was often transported by early humans. Aside from cavemen, ancient warriors are some of the clearest examples of why lifting weights is necessary to gain muscle. Spears were often hurled over great distances and had to be carried by lifting bulky shields and swords.
This demonstrates the possible advantages of strength training with large weights. Greek warriors were known for using massive shields and swords, which significantly boosted their stamina.
There are now two accessible weightlifting metrics: Olympic lifting and powerlifting. Olympic weightlifting is a sport where two athletes fight to represent their nation in the boxing and wrestling categories at the Olympics by lifting the heaviest weight while maintaining appropriate technique.
