Records are concepts that apply to professional competitions or personal evolution, but in both cases there is something motivational about them. In the broader context of weightlifting contests, records should normally stimulate an athlete to improve personal performance. Moreover, weightlifting records are also closely connected with the idea of absolute strength given the fact that in heavy weight classes, the athletes tend to lift heavier and heavier weights. The records are expressed according to calculations that take into consideration not only the lifted weights but the athlete’s category too. Based on these ratings, formulas are further used to determine the weightlifters’ strength level.

The speed is relevant for the execution and the performance of the exercises. The capacity and the maximum time during which one is able to keep the barbell lifted as well as the number of weights are conclusive for the overall athletic performance. The official weightlifting records are kept by special organizations and anyone interested can check the archives and find out the details of one competition or another. Olympic weightlifting records deserve the highest form of appreciation although personal records should not be neglected either.

A personal log that you keep regularly can help one identify the peaks of force training. All beginners start from a standard level, but from case to case, muscle mass development certainly differs. Some weightlifters improve physical condition sooner than others. Personal weightlifting record can best reveal the progress made and the time frame required. The very purpose of bodybuilding is to enhance strength, grow more muscles and help one enjoy a great body shape. Unless you take weightlifting records very seriously, the objective analysis of the evolution is not possible.

Weight training is seldom enough for the complete muscle growth, and many people tend to overlook this aspect. Diet, rest, overall program and lifestyle are just as important for a good physical development. Weightlifting records serve for no purpose unless you take them for future reference and as a means to stimulate your personal evolution. There is hardly any muscle gain if you train chaotically and too intensely. When there is no clear bodybuilding program, a real technique or a definite approach, there is no relevance to be found in weightlifting records.
