Olympic lifting is a form of weightlifting that involves athletes lifting a barbell loaded with weights above their heads. There are two types of Olympic lifting, with their own forms of movement:

The Clean And Jerk

A combination lift. This involves the barbell initially being brought to the shoulders in one motion, followed by the jerk motion from the shoulders to above the head

The Snatch

^{A wide grip lift where the barbell is hoisted over the head in one swift movement.}
