Answer’s still the same. Dumbbell clean and press because, The Biggest Exercise in Bodybuilding

I’d say that’s valid to be considered one movement because it’s accepted and understood in the lifting community to be an exercise - the clean and press.

It’s not a spontaneously made-up combo like a “dumbbell RDL and row and curl and press and overhead extension” or something. That’d be a complex, at best, which is by definition a series of exercises done consecutively.[/quote]

The argument is definitely going to be philosophical rather than biological to be sure. You could even just eliminate the confusion and go full on viper press to make it “one movement”, or go crossfit and refer to it as the “floor to overhead”, but considering it’s all a hypothetical exercise, I like to know the parameters.
