Looks like it includes both powerlifting and olympic lifting. I've been to a competition and it takes all day to see both women and men compete in just a few categories. Amazing to see what competitors can do at 9 at night lifting 500 pounds over their heads. Interesting clip. Looks like it includes both powerlifting and olympic lifting.

Then, I went to the Arnold Fitness Expo to compete in jiu-jitsu, and while I was waiting, started watching an Olympic Lifting competition. Ho.....Ly.......Cow. It was so absolutely amazing to watch these guys snatch more than their own body weight. It's one thing to hear about it, and see a clip of it, it's another to watch these guys do it again and again in a competiton. Watch as the weights climb. See someone miss their first two attempts, barley grind it out in their third, then score on their first attempt at the next weight. It was awesome.
