People mix these up, so first: Olympic weightlifting is the snatch and the clean and jerk, the lifts you see at the Olympics. Powerlifting is the squat, bench press and deadlift. Both need a barbell, bumper plates and a platform, which a lot of chain gyms don’t have, or don’t let you drop. Here’s where in Langley you can do either, checked on each gym’s own website on November 6, 2026.
