Did you actually mean to push the weightlifter from behind to make him fall backwards? Sounds strange.
Yes, this will over arch his back and he'll fall backwards. Same thing you can do to someone when you set them up for a rear choke. Similar to what the guy does here: http://youtu.be/faVHho42v9w

You push the hips forward and his structure collapses backward. You can push with your hand or I've seen people use their knee.

And no, the weightlifter couldn't adjust his posture and still lift the weights. Similar to this clean and jerk seen here: http://youtu.be/eV1BiAyANHk

The weightlifter was a simple example to try and explain a point. If you don't believe it, lift the weights yourself and let someone push on your lower back. Please post the results on youtube!!

There is timing involved also but I hope you see the point I was making.
