Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Weight training is a common type of
strength training for developing the
strength and size of
skeletal muscles. It uses the 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." Source:
