		It is a common type of strength training which uses the force of gravity (in the form of weighted bars, dumbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction.
		Weight training is also referred to as a type of resistance training (in the broad sense meaning any resistance to muscular contraction), which is often confused with elastic resistance training, which uses tension generated by stretched or bent materials to resist the force of contraction.
		Training to failure is, however, a controversial topic.
