* Class-A designs are simpler than other classes ; for example class-AB and-B designs require two devices ( push – pull output ) to handle both halves of the waveform ; class A can use a single device single-ended.

* Single-ended output stages ( be they tube or transistor ) have an asymmetrical transfer function, meaning that even order harmonics in the created distortion tend not to be canceled ( as they are in push – pull output stages ); by using tubes OR FETs most of the distortion is from the square law transfer characteristic and so second-order, which some consider to be " warmer " and more pleasant.

* For those who prefer low distortion figures, the use of tubes with class A ( generating little odd-harmonic distortion, as mentioned above ) together with symmetrical circuits ( such as push – pull output stages, or balanced low-level stages ) results in the cancellation of most of the even distortion harmonics, hence the removal of most of the distortion.

Class-B or-AB push – pull circuits are the most common design type found in audio power amplifiers.

A practical circuit using class-B elements is the push – pull stage, such as the very simplified complementary pair arrangement shown below.

By 1972, the clean and press was discontinued because athletes started to push with legs and bend backwards instead of strictly pressing the weight overhead, and this left the sole elements of what is today's modern Olympic weightlifting programme – the snatch and the clean and jerk. The snatch entails pulling with a wide grip the barbell overhead without pressing out with the arms. It is a very precise lift that can be nullified by a lack of balance of the athlete. The clean and jerk is more forgiving using a narrower grip pull the bar to the shoulders and then using the strength of the legs push until arms reach full extension without a press out.
