    Yeah, but it’s a bit dumb since you’re theoretically trying to lift as much overhead in one movement (snatch) or two (clean and jerk). As long as it’s overhead it should just be allowed. Or at the very least, there should be no subjective rulings. These days you can use a camera to determine how much movement there is, etc.

      Exactly. And if I press it out a bit, who cares? Anyone who’s depending on pressing strength to get it overhead is just not going to do well.
