Weightlifting, or olympic weightlifting is a sport consisting of two disciplines, the snatch (contested first) and the clean & jerk (contested second).
Powerlifting is a sport consisting of three movements, the squat, the bench press and finally the deadlift.
Both sports utilize a barbell and competitors are scored based on the highest amount of weight lifted succesfully.
