Straightforward answer, yaar! The winner is the one who lifts the most total kilos across the snatch and the clean & jerk in their weight category. But I’ll tell you, the real competition was in your own head under that bar! When I lifted, it was the press, the snatch, and the clean & jerk—three lifts, not two! Removing the press in ’72 changed the soul of the sport, making it only about pure power, not that controlled overhead strength we old-timers built our lives on!
