It’s already a part of weightlifting (Olympic lifting). It’s just not a contested lift anymore. The Press, the clean and press, was abolished in 1972 by the IWF.

@@09thespecialone Your last sentence contradicts your first sentence and the middle sentence is nonsensical; if something isn't a part of the sport's contest, it's not part of the sport. You mean it *was* part of Oly Weightlifting. That's true, but it's not any more, and what lifts *used* to be in a different sport don't have any bearing on what can or can't be in another sport. Come to think of it, neither does what lifts are *currently* in another sport; otherwise PL and Strongman would have to fight over who gets to have the dealift in their sport and whoever won that fight would be the only sport that gets to have it. "Strength Lifting" already just swaps out the bench for the OHP entirely. TBF that's a real niche sport for people that like Starting Strength and Mark Riptoe a bit *too* much, but it doesn't really have any bearing on whether or not PL could decided to make itself a 4-contested lift sport that had competitions that went O/S/B/D.

This video is a masterpiece and the new benchmark for fitness content. Funny, educational, well-scripted and structured, defined with no fluff, enough narrative to leave a lasting impression, jacked with big press footage, filled with purpose and hosted by two comedic geniuses.

Finally someone makes Dr. Mike do actual acted art. This is where he belongs, in big productions. Beautiful film noir. I love watching weightlifters. It's like watching a super hero, you didn't know the bar can move that fast, even without being loaded. And they make it look fast-forwarded twice the bodyweight. Like Just watching Gabriel Sincraian snatch or c&j is crazy. Like a greased lightning bolt.

The video is quite well structured and informative as always and it’s so awesome to see you and Dr. Mike discussing the overhead press. Dr. Mike is immensely strong. It’s truly amazing. It’s absolutely phenomenal to see him give this complete and comprehensive guide on the overhead press. His OHP is one of the most impressive and strongest I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing this fantastic video with us! It’s highly appreciated. I’m deeply grateful to you and Dr. Mike for always providing such great and helpful videos and making them super interesting and entertaining thoroughly from start to finish. Outstanding work! 🙏

Dr Mike is a monster at OHP (and so is Omar), gonna implement these tips. Just started training OHP again - best OHP video I've seen

Monsieur Mike was way funnier than expected 😂🚬👨

This passion in this video from both of you makes me smile, good shit

That was awesome. The interludes and the insights.

Loool, this video was a work of art, man! Absolutely legendary video!

Cameraman pro tip: when they're taking about the lifting stance, it really helps if you can point the camera at their feet. (The camera's that metal box thingy in your hands.)

Such a beautiful video, didn't know any of these guys but they're both cool and Mike is definitely a master at ohp. Definitely one of my top 3 favorite exercises, agreed on the soul lift part

Excellent content. Dr. Mike knows exactly how to keep us captivating. MUST WATCH

9:10 Omar I see you cheesin' when Dr Mike says your form is excellent haha

This collab made me happy today :3 Carry on!

Absolutely gem and hilarious also - as everything with Mike lol

My absolute favourite exercise! Will use these tips for sure!

really good video Omar keep it up. Dr Mike is the man

Dr. Mike is a treasure thanks for this valuable lesson

This collab omg. I wish we could have this live action day dream of every inappropriate tangent Dr. Mike has in each of his videos. Great job to you both for this comedic gold

Thanks for this video and colab Omar. I learned some new things about my favorite exercise. OHP for the win.

One aspect you didn't cover in this video, that I was hoping you would cover, is programming around OHP and what accessory exercises to do. How many times a week is optimal for OHP ECT. I'd love if you guys could do a follow up video and get into programming
