Weightlifting, one of the most attention grabbing sports in the SLUG event line up, concluded successfully showcasing the physical and mental strength of the young undergraduates of the country.

Weightlifting has a lengthy history as a sport. For many prehistoric tribes, the traditional test of manhood was the lifting of a special rock. Such stones, some with the name of the first lifter incised, can still be found in Greek and Scottish castles. The competitive lifting of stones still persists locally in Germany, Switzerland, the highlands of Montenegro, and the Basque region of Spain. In many such events the consecutive number of lifts within a given time period is used to select the winner.The competitor attempts to carry maximum- weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates.
