Participants aim to achieve a maximum lift in the sport of weightlifting. This involves lifting the heaviest weight possible in specific movements, typically the snatch and clean and jerk. Competitors are judged on their maximum lift capabilities during competitions, with successful lifts requiring both strength and technical proficiency. Weightlifting emphasizes explosive power, technique, and core stability, as athletes must not only lift heavy loads but also execute their lifts within strict competition guidelines. The ultimate goal is to achieve the highest combined weight across the attempts.
