Alternative exercise for Clean Press

The Smith rack should do the trick, as Nina suggested, except you won't get that lower body workout that a full clean & press provides. You may be able to compensate by doing a form of deadlift as well as military presses. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
