I dont believe that THE BEASTS would struggle with 300 rack pull! But i guess it all depends which part of the lift is the strongest, i.e. Traps insane strength off the floor.

What would you do for your triceps if you didnt want to lie down and push weights away from yourself?

Trained today with a mate from finland and my wife, solid short session.

OLYMPIC SPORTS GYM

Front squats
5x60
5x90
3x110
1x130
1x140
1x145
2x150
3x135

Sandbag work, 80kg

deceptively heavy and difficult to handle, need to find the most suitable technique to shoulder it fast.

shouldered it 5-7 times, loaded it to platforms, walked around with it. Then one 75m walk with the bear hug grip for conditioning.

Vertical jumps
at least 6 sets of 3-5 reps to increasing height, solid.

Thanks guys, feeling good about the fronties. After watching some vids of the finnish u105s front squatting i realised that my target of 400lbs during this year is s**t and i need to aim higher.

Will be beasting it even more than before, the back squats are off the menu now, just need to make sure to be nailing heavier front squats than my pitiful back squats are at the mo, so there is no need to keep them in.

Great minds think alike JC!

Nice front squats Joni and if I were you I'd do close grip board work and hypertrophy stuff like pushdowns etc.

Well I'm too lazy to do the pushdowns but close grip boards for the win.

Good work Joni. The sand bag work sounds fun! I think narrow grip board presses would be a sensible option for you also. I wouldn't think they would put your pec under much strain unlike weighted dips ect.

strong stuff Joni-bull. lots of people seem to like the tricep pullover (like a regular pullover but you extend the tricep out like a skullcrusher at the bottom) for tricep growth but whether that has any carry-over to pressing movements I cannot say.
