understanding of the sport, little he has. Member 798, 9942 posts SQ 260, BP 150, DL 272.5 682.5 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq	Hello All, Whilst doing soem strict presses last night I got wondering about what actually constitues a strict press... Is is A - Pressing using no momentum at all So you unrack the bar and press it from a dead stop from your neck or B - Pressing without using any leg drive So you unrack the bar and press it using a little dip on the bar to generate some initial momentum - as log as your legs stay locked all is good I've seen people do both and just wondered what the consensus was? Cheers Macca

Thing thinks he can decide what goes here. He cant Member 354, 1452 posts	I suppose technically A. However if B doesn't actually get any leg drive just movement then it's still strict if only your shoulders are lifting the weight.

Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 21.07.2010 @ 11:21 AM by MrSmall Moving hips or bouncing bar or moving under the bar is fine, thats how the guys used to do it in the days of Clean & Press at the Olympics. Like this alltime fave of mine: Even if I think this is a borderline non-strict press, but theres no leg drive to get the bar moving, its to get his hips into a different position rather than legs down, push bar up.

There is a reason they dont do this anymore....and it can be seen above

never too old Member 637, 760 posts	when is a strict press not a strict press? When its a push press. Strict in my world is drive bar from racked position on clavicles/delts.
