PRESS IN CLEAN aka Sots press

"The press in clean is a mobility and strength exercise for the receiving position of the clean. It is also call the Sots press after lifter Viktor Sots who popularized it (and who allegedly could do a double with 120kg).

With a clean-width grip and the bar in the jerk rack position, sit into the bottom of a squat. From this bottom position, press the bar up into the proper overhead position, making sure to press in a direct line by getting your head back out of the way, and locking the elbows securely and squeezing the shoulder blades together aggressively. Ideally hold this overhead position momentarily before returning the bar to the rack position at a controlled speed—don’t simply let the bar crash back down. Make sure the bar touches the shoulders before pressing it up again—you don’t need to completely reset the starting position and press from a dead stop on each rep. Your squat stance should be exactly what you use in the clean with the feet flat and your balance correct. The trunk should be held rigidly throughout the set in exactly the same posture you want when receiving the clean."

PRESS IN SNATCH

"With a snatch-width grip and the bar resting behind your neck, sit into the bottom of a squat. From this bottom position, press the bar up into the proper overhead position, making sure to lock the elbows securely and squeeze the shoulder blades together aggressively. Ideally hold this overhead position momentarily before returning the bar to the back of the neck at a controlled speed—don’t simply let the bar crash back down. Make sure the bar touches the upper back before pressing it up again—you don’t need to completely reset the starting position and press from a dead stop on each rep. Your squat stance should be exactly what you use in the snatch with the feet flat and your balance correct. The trunk should be held rigidly throughout the set in exactly the same posture you want when receiving the snatch."
