there are several types or styles of resistance exercise. power lifting (a weight-lifting competition in which participants compete in the squat dead lift and bench press) olympic weight lifting (the type you see on tv where athletes lift the weight overhead) strength training (lifting weights to get stronger) and weight lifting (the sport of lifting heavy weight typically fewer than six repetitions). weight lifting should not be confused with "weight training " which is the general lifting that you do at the gym.
