weight lifting uses the anaerobic system because no matter which sport or which event you are doing your body will always use this system first in total this system only lasts around 60-90 seconds so if the event is shorter than this they would have only used their anaerobic system however if the event is longer than this and they are still not using oxygen then they will ge ta uil up of lactic acid and if they are using oxygen( aerobically) they will be able to convert the pyruvic acid (substance which comes before lactic acid) into ATP thus creating movement

so Weightlifting is an anaerobic system and no matter how heavy the weight may be as long as the event lasts less than a maximum of 90 seconds then it will remain anaerobic

When do you do aerobic vs anaerobic?

The truth is that there is never only aerobic or anaerobic situation in our body. We train/get active using percentages of aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.(e.g 80% to 20%) A lot of sports use more the aerobic energy production like 3000m running in track and fields, walking, swimming 1500 m etc Some other sports/activities use more anaerobic like olympic weight lifting, shot-put, 100m running. And some sports start anaerobic and continue with aerobic like boxing. On the other hand, in one sport an experienced athlete may use aerobic energy and one begginer use anaerobic more (due to loss of techique). In Fitness industry, most of the women like aerobic exercises and they believe they loose fat or control their weight better than every other kind of exercise especially the anaerobic (weight training). During aerobic activity your metabolism burns calories for energy but that's all. During anaerobic activity your metabolism burns also calories (not so many from fat) but the results keep the metabolism in high level so: you burn more calories during all the remain day and the following days (and that is because your muscles get stronger or more massive and so the body burns more calories to keep them in working condition) I hope to answer your question for a better life.
