súlyemelés

Súlyemelés is the Hungarian word for weightlifting. It refers to the sport and recreational activity of lifting weights. In the context of competitive sports, súlyemelés specifically denotes Olympic weightlifting, which involves two distinct lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. Athletes in súlyemelés compete in various weight classes, aiming to lift the maximum weight possible in each of the two lifts. The sum of the best successful snatch and the best successful clean and jerk determines the athlete's total, and the highest total in each weight class wins.

Beyond the Olympic discipline, súlyemelés can also encompass other forms of weight training and strength development. This includes powerlifting, which consists of three lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Additionally, it can refer to general strength training routines performed in gyms for fitness, bodybuilding, or athletic preparation. The fundamental principle across all forms of súlyemelés is the progressive overload of muscles through resistance training. This process leads to increased muscular strength, power, and endurance. Proper technique, safety, and appropriate nutrition are crucial for success and injury prevention in súlyemelés.
