Carlos Macias is a weightlifting club member.

According to www.knoxschools.org, Weightlifting club can help students gain confidence, develop relationships, and foster self-discipline. However, there is a downside to weightlifting. At https://familydoctor.org, they argue that lifting weights that are too heavy can cause muscle and joint damage. It could even tear a heart artery, which could be very dangerous. In a random survey of 10 Morton East students, all ten students agreed that every high school should have a weightlifting club.

“Weightlifting club is a way for me to interact with other students who enjoy the same hobby and make new friends. We all push ourselves to do better and improve our strength training,” Carlos Macias said.
