Contrary to popular belief, weightlifting is a sport for everyone, regardless of your age or gender. This sport strengthens your muscle chains, improves your bone density, your flexibility, your explosiveness, your speed and, of course, your strength. It is, as such, practiced by many athletes from volleyball, basketball, tennis, judo, etc. to help them in their sport.

And contrary to preconceived ideas, weightlifting is also beneficial for children and teenagers, as long as they are mature enough to focus and follow exercise instructions.
