Basics of weight lifting
College athletes are the highest level of athletes who do not get compensated for what they do. In order to maintain their level of excellence and their scholarships that they work hard for, they must train strenuously to survive. Weight lifting is the key for college athletes, those aspiring to become college athletes, and those looking to become professional weight lifters. Weight lifting is an art and takes months and years of dedication in order to see results, and in order for it to be effective. Proper technique and understanding ones limits are two of the main keys to basic lifting in order to maintain health and to make sure one does not get injured. The original purpose for weight lifting was to help athletes become less vulnerable to injuries during sports activities, NOT to build muscle as many would think. Weight lifting takes intense dedication from those who are looking to make significant gains and to be what they aspire for. Weight lifting is a great way to sustain performance, and increase athletic capability.
