Weightlifting

Worksheet Description

Students will color an image of a weightlifter performing an overhead squat. The image depicts the athlete in three stages of the lift: lifting the barbell overhead, stabilizing, and squatting down while holding the weight. The lifter wears a singlet with “USA” printed on it, and the barbell has large, detailed weights on each end. This page can help students appreciate the strength and technique involved in weightlifting.

I recommend using vibrant colors for this image. Use red, white, and blue for the singlet to represent the USA theme. Color the weights in dark shades like black or gray to emphasize their heaviness. Use a medium skin tone for the athlete and a neutral color like light gray for the background to keep the focus on the lifter.
