We acquire the strength we have overcome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Weight
training is a common type of strength training
for developing the strength
and size of skeletal muscles.
It uses the weight force of gravity
(in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the
force generated by muscle through concentric
or eccentric contraction.
Weight training uses a variety of specialized equipment
to target specific muscle groups and types of movement.
Weight training differs from bodybuilding,
Olympic weightlifting,
powerlifting,
and strongman,
which are sports
rather than forms of exercise. Weight training, however, is often part
of the athlete's training regimen."Source:

"Strength training involves training the muscles
and the
nervous system--together they make what is called the neuromuscular
system. Having big muscles doesn’t guarantee that you will be stronger
than someone with smaller muscles who trains for strength. It depends on
how you train--and natural ability, of course." Source:10
