You mean a push press or clean and press?

I'm not sure there's a name for it as it's just a combo of 3 different movements. Why do you need a name, anyway?

i was just wondering.. i fell in love with them yesterday when a friends showed it to me. i was drained after it

you're push pressing, with a power clean to get it to shoulder level.

But he's also squatting.

So, he power cleans, push presses, lowers it behind his head, squats, push press, lower it to his chest, to the floor, repeat.

Definitely sounds like it would drain you.

oh so every "rep" there is two oh presses i see that does sound tiring.

Indeed.

To the OP, why are you doing this exercise? Is it a sports-specific thing or what? Don't get me wrong, it seems like a nice lift. I hope you aren't replacing your normal squats or cleans with it, though. This lift is limited by how much you can push press.

I think if I were to try this I would go with an overhead squat. i.e. after the initial push press, keep the bar over your head, then squat.

 

[snoopy701]

no im not replacing squats etc. I just started doing them after im done with all my other lifts.
