Good evening ladies and gents,
Hoping someone can help me out. I've searched the forum and blog but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I would love to read some recommended resources regarding:
A) the difference in how to get the proper grip for a strict MP if the barbell is taken from the rack position vs. after a clean variation, and
B) if the above grips (if different) would apply to the push press/jerk as well. This is more for curiosity as I don't know a whole heck of a lot about olympic weightlifting.
The advice Pavel gives here: Build a Barbell Military Press on a Kettlebell Foundation seems to relate to taking out of the rack. However I am unsure on the best/safest way to transition from the clean catch in the rack to the press mechanics. It may be as simple as move your elbows under the bar, but any help is appreciated!
