Weightlifting is the sport of competing in two lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk.

In competition, athletes are allowed three attempts at each lift for a total of six lifts. The winner is the athlete who lifts the most weight when their heaviest snatch and clean and jerk is added together.

We support an amazing community of Michigan weightlifters.
