In the competition of Olympic weightlifting , the athletes try to lift the maximum（最大的）weight they can . There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete : body weight , height and strength .

They Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength（爆發(fā)力）. There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple : they are short of explosive strength .

The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilograms . The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general , but it is set depending on the event . Usually the athlete with the lowest weight begins . If he / she is not successful , he / she can try later . There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition .

For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men . However , now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting . It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions entered an organized professional environment . For women , Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure . However , strength training techniques（技術(shù)）are widely and successfully used by women , too .

Lots of the athletes who’ve ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power . However , the demarcation line（界線）is not still very clear between power training and Olympic weightlifting . This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition , even if their purpose was different at the beginning .

Smokers may have started smoking because their friends did or because it seemed cool. But they keep on smoking because they became addicted to nicotine, one of the chemicals in cigarettes . Many people don’t quit smoking because they think it’s too hard . It’s true , for most people quitting isn’t easy . After all , the nicotine in cigarettes is a powerfully addictive drug . But with the following approaches , you can overcome（戰(zhàn)勝）it .

Put it in writing . People who want to make a change often are more successful when they put it in writing. So write down all the reasons why you want to quit smoking, such as the money you will save or the strength you'll gain for playing sports. Keep that list where you can see it, and add to it as you think of new reasons.

         . People whose friends and family help them quit are much more likely to succeed. If you don’t want to tell your parents or family that you smoke, make sure your friends know, and consider confiding in a counselor or other adult you trust. And if you’re having a hard time finding people to support you (if, say, all your friends smoke and none of them is interested in quitting), you might consider joining a support group, either in person or online.

Throw away your cigarettes . People can’t stop smoking with cigarettes still around them . Even throw away the cigarettes you have stashed in the secret pocket of your backpack . Get rid of your ashtrays（煙灰缸）and lighters（打火機(jī)）, too .

Wash all your clothes . Get rid of the smell of cigarettes as much as you can by washing all your clothes and having your coats or sweaters dry-cleaned . If you smoked in your car , clean that out , too .

Reward yourself . As you already know , quitting smoking isn’t easy . Give yourself a well-deserved（當(dāng)之無愧的）reward ! Set aside the money you usually spend on cigarettes . When you’ve stayed away from tobacco for a week , 2 weeks , or a month , buy yourself a treat like a new CD , a book , or some clothes . And every smoke-free year , celebrate again . You earned it .
