Special Feats with Repetitions
Sri Chinmoy begins to do repetitions with the one-arm lift.
Additional Notes: Throughout 1985, Sri Chinmoy
was only lifting with his right arm. In the very beginning, he would
take some help from his left arm to move the weight upwards, but later Sri Chinmoy
was able to do the entire lift with his right arm. He always lifted the
weight to maximum extension, at which point he would extend his left
arm to the side. The power rack was located in Sri Chinmoy's home and it was his custom to train in bare feet, wearing a thick leather weightlifting belt.

In
the beginning, this lift was mistakenly referred to as a one-hand
military press. It is correctly described as a one-arm lift from a
power rack. On December 10th, Sri Chinmoy officially named the lift the "Body, Heart and Soul One-Arm Press." Later, it became known as the "One-Arm Champion Lift."
