I've done a bit of searching and didn't come across this exact topic, so I'll give it a shot. If it already exists, feel free to link it.
I'm pondering my movements between standing strict press and push press. In a strict press, there is no movement in the feet, knees, and hips. The bar goes straight up and you push your head through. In the push press, there can be a little dip and push in the knees and hips to accelerate the weight up over your head.
First question: What if the movement is in the feet only, as in the heals come up? Is that still a strict press, or is it a push press with minimal knee and him movement?
Second question (I'll try to describe the situation best I can): If you do not push your head through the hole during an OHP, let's say the bar was slightly in front of your head, fully raised, but more in line with your nose instead of your spine because your head chest is slightly back, is that an acceptable shoulder press?
