Clean and Press (or Jerk)

This is basically about getting an object above your head at arms length. It's basically a clean or power clean followed by pressing the weight above your head.

Whether or not you do a 'press' or a 'jerk' really depends on the extent to which you recruit your legs to give initial momentum to driving the weight above your head. It's a fine line. Just do what feels best for the weight you are using and let other people worry about semantics!

N.B.
I am not including the snatch here - just pressing or jerking the weight above the head.
