In the sport of weightlifting, you would find a “snatch” and a “clean and jerk.” These two lifts are Olympic events that showcase strength, technique, and explosiveness. The snatch involves lifting the barbell from the ground to overhead in one swift motion, while the clean and jerk is a two-part lift consisting of lifting the barbell to the shoulders and then overhead. Competitors aim to lift the maximum weight possible in each category, with a focus on form and technique to achieve successful lifts.
