History of Weightlifting

Weightlifting dates back to ancient Greece, over 2,600 years ago!

One of the most famous early strength Athletes was Milo of Croton, a Greek wrestler who lived in the 6th century BCE. Milo is said to have trained by carrying a calf on his shoulders every day until it grew into a full-grown bull, an impressive feat that required immense strength and endurance.

Nerds that Lift is a movement to revive and relive the best principles from ancient times: being an intellect, a scholar and strong!
