I have been guilty of this before. I have abused the term weightlifting and used it as a general term for any bodybuilding, powerlifting or resistance training movement. However, any member of the weightlifting community will shake their head in disapproval because they only use the term weightlifting for its original and intended meaning. Weightlifting is short for Olympic Weightlifting, which consist of two main lifts: the clean and jerk, and snatch. Anything else outside of these two lifts, can not be classified as weighlifting.
