Agreed. It's definitely not a strict press, but that vid of Klokov def is (after power cleaning it, too).

The OP vid is obviously still very impressive. He's young AF and stupid strong. Non-natty makes a huge difference and it does work on its own. I was trying to pull up the actual study, but using my word combos on Google, all I was able to find atm was an article referencing the study I had read.

"The group that did not lift and did not take injections experienced no changes.

The group that did not lift but received injections built 8 pounds of muscle on average.

Thats right – despite not even lifting a weight they were able to build a significant amount of muscle just from injections.

The group that lifted but did not receive injections built 4 pounds of muscle.

Finally, the group that lifted and received injections built 14 pounds of muscle on average."

At the end of the day, he would still be better than just about everybody, just the non-nattiness makes that ceiling even higher.

Cliffs:
- Not a strict press
- Still impressive AF
- Assistance definitely makes a difference
- He would still beat everybody else if everybody was natty

It's not that far from strict but he starts at his chin then brings in down to use the stretch reflex off the upper chest which makes it a lot easier. Pressing from a dead stop is much harder and would be a strict ohp in my opinion

This is a good example of a strict press and is way more impressive than the op
