Olympic weightlifting consists of two lifts. The snatch and the clean and jerk.
No, as long as you don't do heavy lifts, instead do repetive lifting where you do 10 lifts, but first warmup with a lighter amount of weight than you will use. Repetive lifts will also make your arms bigger, as well as stronger.
first you should max out on the lifts you plan on doing. then you will know how much you need to do to attain a higher weight.
The best selling weight accessories are weight lifting belts which are necessary to protect your back when doing standing lifts.
