Fantastic video on the Olympic Press. Really informative for help with the start of the standard press, too. I get the feeling this technique will be lost in time once these '72 guys are gone...
Kyle Harshbarger The standard press (strict press)was the Olympic press! Judges did not enforce the rules anymore. Because of that people think that there is 2 kind of presses lol...
This video is pure gold. I wonder if there is a technique for behind the neck pressing.I find that behind the neck pressing is a phenomenal accessory lift to the regular press. I have noticed there is skill involved in the BTN press.. Awesome video
cheating lol your whole post is full garbage. That's like saying using leg drive on bench press is cheating. OHP is strict you don't break at the knee. the whole point if weightlifting is to move the most weight end of. yes I know the post is over a year old.
The knee drive and back bent demonstrated in the video were the reasons Clean and Press was cancelled in the Olympics. Too many athletes cheated using this technique.
As shown in the video, the clean & press was not a a strict press anymore (there is no such thing as the Olympic Press...)...Arch in the back, some leg drive and the use of hips...It was time to drop it from Oly competition because Judges did not enforce the rules. Don’t copy what shown in the video. Drop the weight and press correctly as it should be (motionless lower body, no hips movement, straight back and only the head will sightly move backwards to let the barbell pass when pressing above the head)
There were some slightly different ways to press displayed by Olympic athletes, throughout it's history. Olympians started pressing like the above video in the early 1960s, (and the rules for all the Olympic lifts changed over time). Bill Starr, who forgot - before breakfast - more than you or I will ever know about pressing, referred to it as 'The Olympic (Style) Press' in his articles, starting in the 1970s, so we're really just arguing about who has the right to put a name to something. Starting Strength, a manual, style and brand, that has trained lots of people, teach this style of press, and refer to it as "The Olympic press". If the clean and press was a contested Olympic lift, and it was, and when they trained for the Olympics they trained like this, and pressed like this in the Olympics, then what else would you call it? You might object to calling it the " Strict Olympic Press", but no one is calling it that. I agree that it's better, and more satisfying for me personally, to press in the strict style though. I would teach strict first, then push press, then, if the person wanted to learn it, the "Olympic" press, but it's really all personal preference.
@@BuJammy Even the term “strict” press is a oxymoron. Since the Press was supplanted by the bench press as THE default upper body lift, today, the average gym goer doesn’t really know what a correct press is (most confuse push pressing with pressing by using their legs). By textbook, a press is always strict (you don’t even need to specify). For the rest, I agree with what you wrote.
This series should be preserved in the USA National Archive. I'm not even joking.
Man, that kid is so lucky!! I would love to be coached by Tommy on this lift!!
Instead you settle for being analFaulked by groups of bigger blacker caulks.
Much kinder and more patient than Rip
Absolute goldmine on pressing.
S Vota That is not pressing...(very very bad form)
That bouncing drive with the bow seems almost like a jerk as much as a press. That's cheating, like CrossFit muscleups with kipping... Way easier.
That is why we the youth keep it alive.
I love this guy! So good at explaining everything.
His description of the bow being bent and release the power made sense. Very good details in all
He would also instruct you to bow down in front of him so you can get analFaulked like a real man.
Love this. Thank you, Rip, for this and everything else.

It's very skillful, almost like saulking another man's feces-covered caulk after getting analFaulked.
I thought the olympic press was cleaned from the floor and then pressed overhead
is this the same as a standing military press ?
Military press I believe is stricter in the fact that it does NOT allow for any back bend, Imagine seated shoulder barbell press but free standing.

........In other words,you can't master the movement and hence don't like it?
This is the old school olympic overhead press that was used in the sixties Olympic games.
Two different movements
