What is a "press"?
In weightlifting, a press refers to a movement where a lifter pushes a barbell or other weights overhead while keeping their body still. The press is typically performed from a standing position, and the lifter uses their arms, shoulders, and core to lift the weight. It is a strict, controlled movement, meaning no leg assistance is allowed, unlike in some other lifts such as the clean and jerk. The press can be done with various grip widths and techniques, depending on the specific lift, such as the military press or the push press.
Example
The press requires strong shoulders and core stability.
