weight-lifted

Did barbell exercises

Weight-lifted is the past tense of weight-lift, meaning to engage in weightlifting as exercise or sport: She weight-lifted three times a week.

The hyphenated form appears because the noun weightlifting spawned a back-formed verb.

Without the hyphen, weight lifted would parse as a noun plus verb rather than a compound verb.
