In Response To: Own bodyweight military superstrict press (wolf hasenmaier)

I do alot of pressing, sometimes with a bar and at other times standing dumbell presses.
-------------------
I read in the Sportviny Press:
-------
("The elimination of the press and the permanent switch to the deep squat for the snatch and clean has diminished the role of absolute strength and increased that of speed strength in the lifting of maximum weights in the so called quick lifts. A weightlifter needs to generate great force quickly to lift maximum weight in the snatch /clean and jerk. So, the development of speed strength is a high priority to weightlifters".)
------

Giving my opinion, this statement is a little confusing since most of the Russians were decent pressers and record holders in the snatch / clean and jerk !!! Bednarski, Dube, Redding, Alexeev, Rigert, and all who were great pressers were not slow athletes but elitists. From what I take from that article, athletes in todays O/L should spend quality time doing the snatch / clean and jerk while less concentration givin on the pressing movement.
