Olivia Reeves’ WR C&J had just as much oscillation. I hate to say that since I’m a big fan, but I could see it.

Yes, pretty much. The weight should go up because of the explosive movement from your lower body. The arms are just meant to catch it overhead.


One of my hobbies is the sport of weightlifting (the snatch and the clean & jerk). There is a rule called the Pressout Rule that keeps lifters from pressing the weight out overhead - basically you can’t catch a weight overhead and then muscle it out to full extension. This rule is pretty unpopular with a lot of folks because the judges judging the lift may see your arm shake a bit and decide it was a pressout. I’m not a big fan of the rule.
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.
