One of my hobbies is the sport of weightlifting (the snatch and the clean & jerk). There is a rule called the Pressout Rule that keeps lifters from pressing the weight out overhead - basically you can't catch a weight overhead and then muscle it out to full extension. This rule is pretty unpopular with a lot of folks because the judges judging the lift may see your arm shake a bit and decide it was a pressout. I'm not a big fan of the rule.

    To make sure I understand: you should lift with such force that the weight is flying and that momentum is what lifts it up, not you using your muscle strength to push it to the full extension?

    Yeah, but it’s a bit dumb since you’re theoretically trying to lift as much overhead in one movement (snatch) or two (clean and jerk). As long as it’s overhead it should just be allowed. Or at the very least, there should be no subjective rulings. These days you can use a camera to determine how much movement there is, etc.
