I think the benefits outweigh the risks in olympic weight lifting personally. My trainer drills into me these two golden rules: 'Know your limits' and 'a strong muscle is a flexible one'. If you play other sports, weightlifting can do wonders to your power and explosive strength.

Come on Omar, you're presenting the statistic to mislead people.We both know that running injuries are way less intense than a weightlifting injury.

From a rugby player, there are definitely more injury prone sports.

Sure running has more injuries but weight lifting injuries are more painful

there may be more of an injury and running but the severity of the injury is way higher when lifting weights this is coming from a person that loves to lift weights
