súlyemel

Súlyemelés is the Hungarian word for weightlifting. It refers to the sport and recreational activity of lifting weights. In a competitive context, súlyemelés specifically denotes Olympic weightlifting, a sport that involves two distinct lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Athletes in súlyemelés compete in various weight classes, and their success is measured by the total weight they can lift in these two movements.

Beyond the competitive realm, súlyemelés also encompasses strength training and bodybuilding, where individuals lift weights to improve muscular strength, endurance, and hypertrophy. This broader definition includes a wide range of exercises using barbells, dumbbells, and other weight-training equipment. The practice of súlyemelés aims to enhance physical fitness, athletic performance, and overall health. Proper technique and safety precautions are emphasized in both competitive and recreational súlyemelés to prevent injuries.
