Top 10 Most Inspirational Weightlifting Videos

Weightlifting is one of those sports where you have to do it to fully understand it. There is so much emotion and hard work that goes into every single lift. It's terrifying, it's gravity-defying, it's insanity. We lift weights because we know that feeling that comes with a new PR,  or just overcoming anything you thought you couldn't. Weightlifting is about overcoming the odds and growing stronger.

Check out this collection of videos that convey the passion and labor we embrace as weightlifters.
