Weightlifter's pursuit … or a hint to both halves of the answers to the starred clues NYT Crossword Clue Answer
Let’s find the answers to Weightlifter's pursuit … or a hint to both halves of the answers to the starred clues NYT for the June 24, 2024 edition of NYT crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 12 letters. Start with B and end with G, and the possible solutions are BACKBREAKING, BACKFLIPPING, BODYBUILDING.
The answer is BODYBUILDING.
"BODYBUILDING" serves as both the pursuit of a weightlifter and a thematic hint to the answers to the starred clues in word puzzles. Firstly, as a weightlifter's pursuit, bodybuilding involves rigorous training aimed at increasing muscle size, strength, and definition through exercises such as weightlifting and resistance training. It's a sport and lifestyle dedicated to physical development and sculpting the body.
Secondly, as a hint to both halves of the answers to starred clues, "BODY" and "BUILDING" can be identified within the answers themselves. For example, in a puzzle where starred clues might be "bodyguard" and "building blocks," "BODY" can be found in "bodyguard" and "BUILDING" in "building blocks."
This plays on the literal meaning of "BODYBUILDING" as a sport involving the physical body and also suggests looking for these components within the starred clues as a puzzle-solving strategy.
