Press out rule

A pressout certainly doesn`t make the lift easier, in fact the lifter who has a reserve is the one who can press it out. Not sure why it`s against the rules. My OLWL buddies at our gym, one of them a studied engeneer (multidiensiuoanl individual) capable of a power clean of 350+ at age 52 (!), agree it makes no sense at all... As smart as the red light for moving your head in he bench press.
