The press
The press was removed as a contested lift in weightlifting after the 1972 Olympics.
It became too hard to judge when the form went from strict to a dynamic movement with ridiculous amounts of layback. It's still a great exercise and a surpreme measure of real strength as it requires balance and does not tolerate any deficiencies. Crossfit, strongman, and strengthlifting are starting to bring it back. The clip shows a young athlete pressing 405lbs at a bodyweight of 242lbs. It's a red light lift in my opinion, and done out of a rack rather than from the floor, but it's still an amazing display of strength nonetheless. https:// youtu.be/ tMlnJg_Xfvc |
