Today's Olympic Games feature "The Clean & Jerk" and "The Snatch" as their weightlifting lifts.

But did you know that up until 1972 there used to be a third lift call "The Clean and Press"

It was taken out because the standard of what a "Press" was became difficult to judge. 

Check out this old-school video of a 500lb. Clean and Press.

It looks a bit like a jerk to me, hence the removal of the event from the olympics.
