Weightlifting sandbox

Hi Brian! I have a few comments for you about your sandbox. Firstly, I think there's been a slight misunderstanding regarding headings. You can learn more about it here, but basically you only add more equals signs when you want to change the level of the header. Check it out:

Subheading 1

Subsubheading 1.1

Subsubheading 1.2

Subheading 2

Subsubheading 2.1

Subsubsubheading 2.1.1

You generally wouldn't ever use only one equals sign - start with two, add subheads as needed.

For citations, when you cite the same source multiple times, you can use what's called named references. On the first occurrence of the citation, write out the full reference as normal, but add a "name" to the citation:

<ref name=chiu>{{cite journal|last=Chiu|first=L|coauthors=Schilling, B.|title=A primer on weightlifting: From sport to sports training|journal=Strength Conditioning Journal|year=2005|volume=27|pages=42-48}}</ref>

and on the next occurrence of the same citation, use only the name:

These show up as the same number:^[1]^[1]
